      • Am I meeting my personal goals? Should i make new goals?
      • What kind of sleep am I getting? Am I ever entering deep sleep?

  7. What works?
      • When you use the proper apps / devices, everything syncs beautifully. The graphs are easy to read and are beautiful. They are color blind friendly, automatically adjust as the user selects days, weeks, etc. The data is accuarte, and is collected automattically without the user having to do much.
  8. What needs improvement?
      • The user is limited to what tracking devices they can use. You're kind of forced to purchase an Apple Watch, or use specifc apps that are affilated with Apple. There are some work arounds by donwloading other apps that sync the data back and forth for you, but its somewhat of an extensive process, and shouldn't be nessecary to get all of your data into one place.
