In other words: these devices are all terrible, and shouldn't be trusted. Pretty different from the final conclusion, which is probably "soft" to get additional grants from the commercial entities selling these devices.

Detecting light versus deep sleep accurately with wristwatches or devices under the mattresses might not be possible. Especially not when accuracy is supposed to be comparable to multiple electrodes places directly on the head to measure brainwaves.
edit: Also, the last time I did a sleep study at home it had rather little correlation to how I normally sleep except in terms of apnea. Having wires, electrodes, a chest strap and a finger O2 monitor strapped to me did not lead to a pleasant night of sleep.
Doesn't that assume that the errors will be consistent and precise enough that any trends don't get totally wiped out?
