I've been using WakeMate in beta for a couple months. As an engineer, I love checking the sleep analytics and comparing tags to try to determine factors that affect my sleep.
At first I was dubious that I'd be less groggy when waking up with the device, but now I'm absolutely convinced. I even bring the WakeMate when I travel, to ensure I wake up in a fresher state (which also revealed to me that my sleep quality is better from hotels).
- awakeasleep 16y agoDo you wear the WakeMate all day? I loved sleep activity graphs in Brain&Behavior bio in college, wish I had heard about this earlier. Also, have you identified anything that benefits your sleep schedule? The site hints at things like exercise to benefit and alcohol to disrupt, but do you have any anecdotes for me? And one more: Can you identify different phases of sleep on your nightly graph? Thanks!
- coolswan 16y agoYou only wear the wakemate when you're sleeping. You can identify different phases of sleep (REM, etc.) And the tagging is indeed the sweetest thing IMO, but you probably need a lot of the data before making a good conclusions. I found that I actually sleep really well when I'm sick or when I'm sleeping on the left side of the bed. Weird stuff like that.
- garbowza 16y agoI add tags before I go to bed. Based on these, my sleep score is highest when I go to bed stressed, tired (duh), have a snack in the evening, or sleep in a hotel. It's lowest when I go to bed early, fall asleep hungry, or go to bed with my wife (huh?)
