Self-tracking is able to encourage positive behavioral changes in individuals who monitor 24-hour behaviors such as physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep. Sleep in particular can be improved through manual self-tracking using digital interventions that are equipped with Change Behavior Techniques (BCTs). Wearable devices automate both the process of collecting personal data and the act of aggregating insight from the information, but this leaves users feeling disengaged from their devices. We explored the lived experiences of 8 long-term users of the Oura Ring, a sleep monitoring device, to examine the potential reasons behind the inability of sleep wearables to affect change in spite of the accuracy of its captured objective data. We compare the features and differences between manual and automated self-tracking and potential solutions for improving the impact of the modality.
