You don’t remember being there but your sleep data each morning says “yes you were there – and we’ve got the Facebook photos to prove it.” But [...]

There is a common misunderstanding that all sleep of the same length is created equal; anyone who sleeps for 7 hours will have similar patterns and levels of sleep quality.
