WakeMate Bluetooth Armband
I really wonder if this actually works or not. The idea is pretty simple, you wear the armband, and the WakeMate figures out the best time to wake you up.
It's $50, and isn't shipping until 1/25/2010. You can read more about it HERE.
From the website:
The WakeMate uses a science called actigraphy to analyze your sleep. Actigraphy uses an actigraph (the WakeMate unit) placed on a subject’s wrist to monitor the motion. The motion data is then analyzed to determine sleep patterns and circadian rhythms of the subject.
The WakeMate uses actigraphy to find optimal points for you to wake. These optimal points are specific points in your REM cycle called arousal points. These can be thought of as “semi-awake” moments and waking at these times will result in minimal sleep inertia (grogginess) and maximum energy and refreshment from sleep.
Additionally, the WakeMate uses actigraphy to analyze your sleep over the course of the night. A detailed sleep report can be generated from this information and over time, certain trends are identified allowing us to diagnose problems and ways of improving your sleep.
