Good: * The idea is pretty interesting; I feel like I'm drunk, but I'm undersleeping the last few months. * The major reason I don't get enough sleep is that I need to binge from time to time to get things done or enjoy life. I think I'll do better if I could track my sleeping needs before I get to feel like I do now Bad: * TA looks like an advertisement * The website uses words like "your workforce". I hope employers stay away from their employees sleep. What's next? Stool samples. Management in many places already likes to treat employees like lab rats or machines to be repaired.

> I hope employers stay away from their employees sleep. In theory it could turn out well, if it turned out that the numbers said it was better to pay people to take an hour nap in the middle of the work day. In practice I assume it'd turn out to be more of a mandatory unpaid nap, of course.

  Thank you for your input. Upside of employees knowing how the staff sleep overall (nothing to a specific employee) could possibly lead to a better shift schedule and the ability to feel less fatigued in your free time

    Or it could lead to employers demanding that employees give them all of their alert time rather than more normal hours. "Could possibly lead" isn't really a good reason to start giving up privacy

Great thing with your Real-time feedback on the Readiband you are able to tell yourself if how your feel matches up to your bodies fatigue level.

  Exactly. That way I'll know if staying late is worth it. An hour of sleep doesn't "cost" the same at any time.

I think you might be right except for airlines!!! I wouldn't want to be on a plane with a pilot that doesn't sleep well.

  I think pilots wearing Readibands would quickly reveal that a large number of airline pilots are working well into what would be considered a fatigued state.
