There is so much technology out in the world which helps us in so many different ways. Much of it can help us be healthier by getting the right amount of exercise or identifying the right foods to consider eating. And yet, many of us ignore the value of getting a great night's sleep. Doctors have recently been talking about how much the right amount of sleep actually is, so getting tools that can measure you as you sleep is something that you should be considering. But, the idea of attaching something to your body to measure your sleep is not something that we really want to do. But, what if you could do that without having to wear something on your body? That is exactly what Beddit is providing with the tools to measure your sleep.
The Beddit sleep tracker is one that you can pre-order today for $99 and have it delivered in November. At the moment, this is an Indiegogo campaign to raise funding for the coming product to monitor and measure your sleep activities. And they have been very successful in doing that raising a large amount to launch their product.
What you get with the Beddit is a thin band that you put under your sheet and you lay on top of it. The Beddit comes with what looks like a control module that you connect to a USB connection to keep it powered. One of those USB plugs that convert it to plug into the wall should do the trick to maintain the power. Using Bluetooth, the information is transited to the app on your smartphone. This includes both Android and iOS devices so that the vast majority of people are covered.
While you are sleeping and the app is collecting information from the Beddit, it is also collecting information about the environment such as noise and light. Once the information has been collected in the morning, you can review it to see just how well you are sleeping. And with that information it can make recommendations to improve your sleep. One of the interesting features is that it can wake you up when it has determined that you have had enough sleep.
I am not exactly sure if that will work for everyone as some like to make sure they get 9 or 10 hours a night which is more than doctors are recommending. They are probably going to turn that feature off. The Beddit sleep tracker works on memory foam beds as well as water beds and everything in between. And we expect to see improvements with the smartphone app over time to increase the value of the Beddit. This is an interesting product.
