Did beddit actually ever make a product that worked? Certainly the indiegogo version I got never worked in any useful way.

- onion2k 9y agoIs it possible for a sleep tracking app to work in a useful way? It could tell you that your sleep is interrupted a lot, restless, rarely goes in to deep sleep - but is that actually useful information? How could you use what it's telling you? It's not enough to only know what's happening. You need to know why it's happening in order to affect changes that might improve things, else you could make things worse, or just waste any time/money you're spending trying to improve, or miss an underlying cause that indicates something is seriously wrong..
- darkstar999 9y agoAt the very least, sleep tracking can be used to wake you up at the best time.

- johnfn 9y agoThis article is amazing. Thank you for reminding me about gwern.
- ghaff 9y agoWhen I reviewed it, my take was that it might be a low cost way for someone who felt tired a lot to collect some basic data before deciding to go in for a sleep study or other medical tests.
- ghaff 9y agoYes. I have both the now unsupported original model and the new one. Seemed to work as advertised. I'm honestly not sure how useful collecting that info is but it does work for me.
