Ask HN: Devices for sleep monitoring?
I suffer from Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and I've been looking for ways to work myself out of it. One of the things I want to try is some sort of alarm tied to my sleep rhythms.
I've been eagerly awaiting the Fitbit Flex for just this reason, however I've seen reviews [0] stating that the wake alarm is nothing more than a fixed time alarm, unlike the Fitbit One. I may end up buying the One, but I wondered if anyone here has a recommendation?
I've seen various mobile apps, but ideally I'd like something attached to me (as that would be more accurate?) I tend to kick things off my bed as well!
Thanks

- thelinuxkid 13y agoMake sure you get something measures all aspects of sleep, e.g., REM. http://www.myzeo.com/sleep/ http://www.myzeo.com/sleep/ does this but I can't vouch for it.

- pedoh 13y agoI've got a Fitbit One, and it, too, only has a fixed time alarm. https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/854753-managing-silent-alarms-with-fitbit-one https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/854753-mana...
- t0 13y agoThe mobile apps work. You put your phone under the covers or mattress so it can't fall. My only issue is that you have set wake up in 8 hours, but insomnia leads me to take several hours to get to sleep, meaning I don't in fact get 8 hours. It's a shame 42floors didn't offer any real solutions..
- companyhen 13y agoI use Sleep Cycle for iPhone ($0.99) and it lets me choose the time I want to wake up, like an alarm clock. Works very well, been using it about 2 months now. Has nice preset alarm and ambient sounds as well.
