The news that Apple has acquired Finnish company Beddit is potentially exciting. Beddit makes sleep-tracking devices like the Beddit 3 Sleep Monitor, which works with iOS and Apple Watch to analyze sleep. It’s a strip of sensors that slips under the sheets to track your movements. Apple is probably interested in the company’s sleep analysis smarts more than its hardware, though.

This acquisition is big news because currently Apple doesn’t have its own sleep-monitoring app among its many Apple Watch fitness features, such as measuring workouts and a great meditative app called Breathe.
