摘要

可穿戴睡眠追踪器在应用心理学中的应用越来越广泛。特别是最近健身追踪行业的蓬勃发展,催生了许多相对便宜的面向消费者的设备,进一步扩大了非卧床睡眠监测的潜在应用范围。虽然可穿戴睡眠追踪器在很大程度上被定位为保健工具,但越来越多的独立同行评议研究对其准确性进行了评估,可将其视为有用的健康设备。传感器可监测心肺生理机能、昼夜活动数据和其他环境信号,从而以一种全面、多维的方式监测睡眠健康及其对心理健康的影响。此外,可穿戴追踪器与经验取样方法的结合越来越普遍,有可能发现睡眠与日常经验、行为和其他社会心理因素之间的个体内部联系过程。在此,我们将简要概述在应用心理学中使用可穿戴睡眠跟踪技术的最新进展、挑战和机遇。具体来说,我们回顾了关键设备的概况、功能和局限性。通过提供具有代表性的实例,我们强调了学者和从业人员如何充分挖掘可穿戴睡眠追踪器的潜力,同时注意这些设备最关键的缺陷。总之,消费类可穿戴睡眠追踪器越来越被认为是调查、评估和改善睡眠健康的重要方法。将这类设备纳入研究和专业实践可能会大大提高所收集信息的数量和质量,同时为在具有代表性的时间段内收集大量样本提供了可能性。不过,在使用这些设备时,必须采取严谨、知情的方法。

Is it Time to Include Wearable Sleep Trackers in the Applied Psychologists' Toolbox?

Wearable sleep trackers are increasingly used in applied psychology. Particularly, the recent boom in the fitness tracking industry has resulted in a number of relatively inexpensive consumer-oriented devices that further enlarge the potential applications of ambulatory sleep monitoring. While being largely positioned as wellness tools, wearable sleep trackers could be considered useful health devices supported by a growing number of independent peer-reviewed studies evaluating their accuracy. The inclusion of sensors that monitor cardiorespiratory physiology, diurnal activity data, and other environmental signals allows for a comprehensive and multidimensional approach to sleep health and its impact on psychological well-being. Moreover, the increasingly common combination of wearable trackers and experience sampling methods has the potential to uncover within-individual processes linking sleep to daily experiences, behaviors, and other psychosocial factors. Here, we provide a concise overview of the state-of-the-art, challenges, and opportunities of using wearable sleep-tracking technology in applied psychology. Specifically, we review key device profiles, capabilities, and limitations. By providing representative examples, we highlight how scholars and practitioners can fully exploit the potential of wearable sleep trackers while being aware of the most critical pitfalls characterizing these devices. Overall, consumer wearable sleep trackers are increasingly recognized as a valuable method to investigate, assess, and improve sleep health. Incorporating such devices in research and professional practice might significantly improve the quantity and quality of the collected information while opening the possibility of involving large samples over representative time periods. However, a rigorous and informed approach to their use is necessary.
