Sleep and Overall Health
Why is sleep becoming an important indicator of overall health?
The Rise of Sleep as a Modern Health Indicator
Sleep is increasingly viewed as an ongoing indicator of health, recovery and physiological stress rather than simply a lifestyle concern. Wearables and home monitoring now make it possible to follow oxygenation, sleep continuity, heart rate and recovery patterns across weeks or months instead of relying on one isolated night. These longer-term trends may reveal changes associated with stress, illness, travel, medication or treatment that would otherwise be difficult to observe.
