Interesting product! I love the idea of waking at the right point in my sleep cycle. It makes a huge difference for me. What I really love is the test-and-learn capability. Do I sleep better with higher or lower room temperature? On a firm or soft mattress? With or without a warm brandy at bedtime? You get the idea.

The manufacturers should consider bundling this product with the Sleep Number bed. What a great partnership. This would be the perfect tool to aid in objectively fine tuning your sleep number.

Worn like an everyday watch, SLEEPTRACKER® is ideal for anyone who wants to wake up alert and ready to start the day, such as frequent travelers across time zones, business people looking for an extra edge, students with fluctuating schedules, or busy moms who need to wake up easily.

SLEEPTRACKER^® continuously monitors signals from your body that indicate whether you are asleep or awake. Because you wear SLEEPTRACKER^® on your wrist like a watch, its internal sensors can detect even the most subtle physical signals from your body. SLEEPTRACKER^® finds your best waking moments, so that waking up has never been easier.

When you sleep, your body goes through a series of sleep cycles. The average adult experiences 4-5 full sleep cycles over an 8-hour period. Each cycle lasts about 90-110 minutes and comprises five different stages, as illustrated by this chart.
