Sleep study vs personal sleep monitors

I did note that this was done in 2014, so maybe things have changed.
Maybe - but maybe not.

The only real advantage of the personal sleep monitors is that if you are moving around at night A LOT and don't know it, and are getting poor quality sleep, then you know that something needs to be addressed. Whether it is something fixable is another thing.
