In this episode of Sleep Takeout, Dr. Daniel Baughn and Dr. Michelle Zetoony discuss the role of wearable devices in tracking and improving sleep.

The hosts also touch on the importance of physical activity for better sleep and share tips on how to interpret data from wearables without becoming anxious.
