Appreciation post: Spotting the hype on a new sleep tracker with my workout buddy

My gym partner wouldn't stop talking about this ring that says it tracks deep sleep stages. I read up on the tech and saw experts say it's not really proven yet. When I told him, he got real quiet then joked about almost wasting his money. Felt nice to actually check the facts for once.

That research saved him money for sure.

Research like that builds confidence beyond just saving cash. You make better choices when you know the details, which cuts down on worry. The mental boost is a hidden benefit people overlook.

My friend did that with a laptop buy, spent a week reading reviews (it was kinda nuts). But he got the perfect one for his needs and saved like two hundred bucks.
