Big test: Four fitness trackers go head-to-head on sleep tracking

The biggest sleep trackers duke it out

The more we learn about sleep, the more we understand about how crucial regular, quality rest it is for our health. That’s why most fitness trackers and smartwatches have the ability to track our rest in some capacity, though it can often feel like a taped-on afterthought.
