Yeah, worrying about sleep trackers can make insomnia worse.
This is basic sleep hygiene, and I don't know that there any other way than through.
One of the first things to learn is that worrying about bad sleep is one of the major causes of bad sleep. Getting out of that riddle solved a substantial part of my sleep problems.
Once you're on the other side, having data is much better than not having it.
I have about six years worth of sleep duration (and activity during sleep) data. There still isn't a single piece of FOSS software that would deal with that, I could import it into Postgres and view with Grafana, but I ain't no scientist or super interested in sleep science so there's very few conclusions I could make from it. Would love someone picking up this task :P
It's Windows-only and doesn't contain any knowledge about sleep science. As I said, I could import the data anywhere, but that alone is not worth much.
I’m pretty sure someone could take a raspberry pi with a battery power source and reconstruct a home sleep apnea device. If you just want to use an accelerometer you could probably do the same.
