Apple Begins Selling New Beddit 3.5 Sleep Monitor

Of course I do.

If you do know, then it is only because you have some form of tracking "device." A partner with whom you sleep, a camera, a device like this, or something I don't know about (but would like to know about). Because unless you're some kind of nonhuman you don't know anything more about your own sleep than any other human. Who all sleep through their sleep.

I’m not sure if you’re being purposefully disingenuous or if you’re asking a legitimate question. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter.

If I set my alarm for 8am, my Withings Aura might wake me up at 7:53am or at 7:59am according to my predetermined range. A period of deep sleep typically lasts about 10 minutes or less. There are other stages of sleep prior to that but what you don’t want is to be startled awake while in that critical REM period.

I have my alarm tolerance set 30 minutes. It’ll usually start waking me up 20 minutes prior to my alarm by raising the temperature in my room, gradually brightening the lights and then close to the end of my REM cycle, start playing music. It knows that once I start moving, I’m out of sleep paralysis and ready to wake up and at that time, plays the alarm tone.

I’ve never had any real trouble sleeping but I’ve always considered myself to not be a morning person because I’d always wake up feeling like I didn’t sleep well and always needed to hit snooze. My whole life has been organized around not being a morning person. Ever since having a sleep analyzer, I often wake up feeling rested and ready to get out bed. I now wake up early every day even though I don’t have to.

Wow. This gives me hope. Thanks so much for writing this because so much of what you describe is also me...

Plenty of lazy people out there.

Narcissistic people, too. Plenty.

Thanks, Apple, no! My health insurance pays for my sleep study.

Just be aware your insurance company requires a diagnosis or they won't pay for any service (including mental health), and they can audit your patient records at any time.

If you can afford it, you might want to self pay for some of your services, especially mental health so you don't have a diagnosis forced on you just to fit a billing code.

I wish Apple gives me device for mental health , really scared of my psychiatrist

Seriously it is very easy to get sleep study, just mention you primary that you snoring and wake up with headaches, like 50% of population have.
I’m real Apple fan, but I prefer to see professionals rather that take my ECG, sleep study, etc. from home devices.

My main idea I do not want to treat myself.

Apple is turning into a Brookstone. Who cares that Apple is doing a sleeping toy?
How about you focus on doing computers and iphones better and at a more affordable price instead of wasting money on things that no one cares?

Apple hasn’t really ever focused on affordability. I’d rather they don’t and stick to using higher quality materials. Plastic phones and computers that I see at bestbuy just looks and feels cheap.

I drank too much beer and wine over the weekend, traveled alot and went to bed last night and slept like crap. Tonight I will go to bed early to catch up. I'm not sure what this device could tell me that I don't already know.

This is why we don't have native sleep tracking on the apple watch.

It will be interesting to see if any of the sleep tracking features come to the Apple Watch in the form of a stock app. I'm currently using Autosleep, but would like to see Apple's take on a sleep app for the watch.

I agree. I use Sleep++ on my AW4 and I really like the features it offers but like you, I would like to see what Apple themselves can do with that functionality. I am also really interested in seeing what the next health sensor will be to make it into a future AW. I know non-intrusive, continuous glucose monitoring is the holy grail that several companies are trying to make affordable and wearable. I am sure we will have such a device sometime in the future and it would not surprise me if Apple is one to do it. But between now and then, I am wondering if Apple could somehow add an O2 sensor to the AW? Today O2 sensing is often done with an optical sensor that goes over a fingertip so it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to do it with a watch. Of course, everything is easy for the person that doesn't have to do it

Apple is way overpriced for what they are delivering.
The Mac Mini althouth way different from what it used to be, increased price by 70%. Not only that, but th SSD is soldered into the unit. So if it fails you have a dead computer and you cannot upgrade it. In addition, they are forcing you to use Apple's uber expensive SSD.
Same with the new Macbook Air. increased 20%, no innovation, and SSD, 8Gb Ram and soldered SSD.
Furthermore, they are NOT using high quality materials. Look at the Macbook Pro issues with the keyboards...

What does any of this have to do with sleep tracking?

I doing Apple considers sleep tracking on the watch to be a great user experience. You have to wear it to sleep, and it interferes with users who prefer to charge their devices overnight.

A device which we just place on the bed and not have to think about it ever is what Apple specialises in. A beddit sleep monitor makes more sense than a software tracker on the watch, IMO.

Anyone still using this? Curious what people who have been using Beddit for a couple years think of their experience and if it has helped you get better sleep?
