However, the effectiveness of these options has been somewhat limited, and users aren’t seeing a strong association between these types of technology and a reduction of negative emotions Digital sleep tracking is actually amplifying sleep difficulty for 23% of those who are using it, but most (61% of those using) are not seeing any impact on their sleep.
