Some models are far better than others, and different sleep trackers' accuracy may surprise you.

A new report on orthosomnia, the anxiety that comes from obsessing over your sleep tracker's data, shows that for some, the fear of a "bad score" leads to even less rest. Does that mean trackers hurt more than they help? Or can the benefits outweigh the stress? This article breaks down the science behind orthosomnia and how to avoid it. How "Bad Scores" Can Steal Your Sleep Quiz Answer The correct answer is B: About 30%. According to the CDC, roughly 1 in 3 adults report that they don't get enough rest on weeknights.
