I appreciate home sleep sensors are still a young technology and giving a ‘score’ for a nights sleep that applies to everyone is not easy. There have been times where I’ve been lying awake for hours overnight, but the sleep score or graphs don’t pick it up. The sleep scores don’t always match to how I feel for me. They have seen this before, but it’s not common. I’ve talked with the Beddit guys about this, and it looks like there’s a problem with my environment. Data Loss?Ī few times when leaving the bed in the middle of the night, no sleep was registered after. Getting this in the Beddit would be fantastic. Other devices like the ResMed S+ maximise time in bed by only triggering if it senses I’m slipping back into deep sleep, giving me the extra time. In my experience, the Beddit can trigger up to 30 minutes before the alarm time. I want to maximise the amount of time in bed. The Beddit smart alarm does do this, but it has drawbacks. It does this by triggering in a time window instead of at the alarm time. Smart sleep alarms work by triggering the alarm during the light sleep stages. Not so Smart Alarm?Īlarms waking us while we’re in a deep sleep can ruin our mornings.

Accessing the Raw Dataīeddit has a feature to download raw data to a spreadsheet, which can be very useful for doing any detailed analysis. Note, the Beddit is used in many clinical studies around the world. Beddit comes in pretty good at 99% - much better than any wrist sleep tracking device (see here for more details).
Many studies have been done using the Beddit & comparing it with the gold standard in sleep tracking, Polysomnography. The sensor in the Beddit ( ballistocardiography) is the best type of sleep sensor available short of measuring brain waves through an EEG device (like the Zeo).
For someone suffering from a sleep disorder like sleep apnea, this could be a life changer. I can even get dedicated sleep coaches to look into two-week reports.

A better understanding of how I slept is the first step.Ī good sleep sensor should be easy to use and give us enough information to show how we slept.Ī good sleep sensor should also be able to trigger insights on how I can improve my sleep. While my sleep hasn’t been bad, there’s always room for improvement. The Beddit, a dedicated, contactless sleep sensor just brings a whole new level of insights to my sleep. If we have a wearable fitness device that already that tracks sleep, why do we need a dedicated sleep tracker?Ī year ago I had to think long & hard to get a dedicated sleep tracker when I already had a wearable that tracked sleep.
Note - It looks like the Beddit device is no longer being sold.
