I downloaded a sleep app on my smart phone so I could gauge my sleep efficiency (my son-in-law uses one for sleep apnea, so I though it would be interesting to try it). I dont have sleep apnea and I usually sleep pretty good, but it is still interesting to see my sleep patterns in a chart. I have a 74% sleep efficiency rating with 50% in deep-REM which is pretty good. Excellent is 85%, but I havent slept excellent since I was four years old!! I downloaded a free one called Sleep Time if youre interested. There are some others out there that cost a little bit, but you can gauge your sleep for a week/month and send it your Doctor so he/she can determine if your sleep habits are possibly affecting your health.
