Snooze Better and Longer With Our Favorite Sleep Trackers
Not ready to drop major dollars on a sleep tracker? You can still get a lot of data from this budget-friendly Fitbit. It may be tiny, but it’s pretty high-tech: “The sleep tracking is super accurate, down to the minute,” our tester says.
The band connects to the Fitbit app, which you can download on your smartphone to check the info it gathers. “In the app, I can see details about how long I’ve slept and how long I’ve spent in each stage of sleep,” our tester adds. Those details get summarized into a daily score that our tester says helps her see whether she’s on track with her sleep goals, like sticking with a consistent bedtime.
It also shows her trends, including whether she slept more this week than the week before, so she can compare her results over time. She can even see how long she’s spent in each sleep stage (and how those numbers compare to other Fitbit users’).

The app contains enough information that you’ll feel empowered, not overwhelmed: “I think the Fitbit hits the sweet spot of collecting just enough metrics that you feel like you’re learning something about your body, but not so many numbers that they start to swim onscreen,” our tester says. “It helps me make informed decisions about my health (even if that’s just setting my alarm back 30 minutes the next morning).”
The Inspire 3 is also really slim, so it won’t take you long to get used to wearing it. “It’s very lightweight and comfortable—the silicone band doesn’t get in the way of my sleep or feel too tight on my wrist,” our tester says. “I wear my Inspire 3 every single night, even when I travel—I can’t be without it!”
