![]() The firm says that it is “learning and innovating on this new technology, and also exploring how Sleep Sensing can become a part of the Fitbit and Fitbit Premium experiences” after Google’s recent purchase of the fitness tracker maker. Sleep sensing is only in “free preview” until at least the end of the year. It can give you tips for better sleep and help you keep a consistent bedtime, suggesting an optimised time after two weeks of tracking. It does not record sleep cycles nor heart rate, which is a key health metric while sleeping, but for a non-contact sleep tracking system that requires no special gear to be worn I was impressed. Sleep sense only tracks the person immediately in front of the display, not a partner the other side of the bed, and it can’t differentiate between coughs and snores from more than one person. The results were surprisingly good, recording similar length of time slept and disturbances to both wrist-based sleep tracking with a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar and a Withings Sleep Analyzer mat underneath the mattress. The display can also show you a summary of how you slept last night or over the last week. You cannot opt out of syncing the data with Google Fit, but you can delete it or share it with other services. The data is processed locally on the Hub using built-in artificial intelligence, but then synced to Google’s long-standing health service, Fit, so you can see your data on your phone. The device records how long you sleep, restless periods and, optionally, how many times you cough or snore using the microphones. Put it on a bedside table about an arm’s length away and go to bed as normal. ![]() The Nest Hub uses its radar to track the breathing patterns and sleep of the person lying beside it without the need for a wrist or headband. The display can show a summary of your sleep after you wake or you can see it all in the Google Fit app on Android or iOS. ![]()
