    Thinking about trying a ring instead of my watch for sleep tracking. Just wondering if the Herz P1 Smart Ring feels bulky when you roll over at night. I usually sleep on my side and my old watch would sometimes dig into my wrist. Does the ring bother you at all or do you forget it’s there?

    I actually sleep hot so I prefer a ring over a watch.

    I’m a side sleeper too and mine hasn’t bugged me once. The first night felt a little weird just because I wasn’t used to anything on my finger, but after that I pretty much forget it’s there. No digging in like a watch band does.

    Mine sits flush enough that I forget about it once I’m asleep, but the first few nights I definitely noticed it on my pinky when my hand was under the pillow. It’s way less intrusive than a watch digging in, though. Give it a week before you decide.

    I’d go try one on at a store if you can, sizing makes the difference.

    Mine has been fine for side sleeping, but I did notice it more when I wore it on my index finger and less after I moved it to a different finger. The sensor bump was what I felt, not the ring itself. It’s easy to forget once you settle in. Which finger are you planning to wear it on?

    Probably my ring finger, since that’s the one I usually wear rings on anyway.

    Ring finger makes sense then. That’s actually where I ended up too, and the sensor bump sits in a spot that doesn’t press into anything when my hand’s flat on the bed. Give it a few nights before you judge it, the first one always feels odd just because it’s new.

    Mine stays put on my middle finger all night, no digging in.

    The width of the band matters more than the weight for side sleeping. Mine is slim enough that my cheek resting on my hand doesn’t press it into my finger.

    I gave up on wrist wear at night for the same reason, and a ring was a decent fix for me, though I’ll admit I rolled my eyes at the idea that I’d “forget it’s there.” What actually happened is I noticed it for the first three or four nights, mostly when my hand ended up under the pillow, and then it just became part of the furniture. The thing that surprised me was that the spot where I sleep on my arm stopped being the problem entirely, because nothing is pressing a screen or a buckle into the mattress anymore. I still take it off on really humid nights when my fingers swell a bit, but that’s a me thing, not the ring digging in. It’s not magic, it’s just less annoying than a watch flopping around. If a watch was digging into your wrist, a ring is a reasonable step down in irritation, and that’s about as much enthusiasm as I can honestly muster for it.

    Side sleeping with mine has been a non issue. The ring sits flat enough that I don’t feel it against my face when my hand ends up near my head.

    I’d just try sleeping with it for a week before deciding.

    A ring beats a watch for side sleeping for me too, since nothing presses into your wrist when your arm ends up under your pillow. I don’t have the Herz one specifically, but my ring is wide enough that I notice it for the first few minutes and then it disappears.

    I’ve had mine for about a month now and side sleeping hasn’t been an issue at all. The thing I noticed most is that it sits low enough on my finger that my cheek doesn’t even touch it when my hand’s up by my face. My old watch used to leave a red mark on my wrist overnight, so this has been a nice change. I do take it off some mornings just to give my finger a break, but that’s more habit than need. The only thing I can’t speak to is how it feels if your fingers swell at night, since mine don’t really do that. Curious if you end up noticing it at all after the first few nights.

    I don’t actually have one yet, still deciding.

    Makes sense to figure that out before buying. If you do go for it, wearing it a few hours during the day first might help you get used to the feel before trusting it overnight. The first night or two I was aware of it, then it just faded into the background.
