![]() But sleep-tracking is a logical area for Apple to move into, and it’s already expressed some degree of interest in Beddit’s approach by selling the products in its stores. Or, as with other acquisitions in the company’s past, Apple may simply be buying Beddit out as a way to hire some or all of its engineers. The Beddit acquisition could point to some sort of official solution to the gap in functionality, or Apple may plan to make use of Beddit’s software and data for future products or features. Bloomberg reported last year that Apple plans to add sleep-tracking to the Apple Watch. As such, the Watch doesn’t offer any native sleep-tracking capabilities, though there are some third-party apps that work for people who can find time to charge their watches during the day. Of course, that’s at odds with Apple’s own efforts in the body-tracking space, which have so far focused largely on the Apple Watch - a device that requires daily charging, usually at night. I was also woken up by my poor hubby fumbling around for allergy pills at 3 am.Apple reportedly plans to add sleep-tracking to the Apple Watch (This happened quite a few times, but he's so cute so I can't get angry). For one, I had to get up and roll over so my cat could find the perfect position. I got a 100 sleep score, with Beddit reporting that I didn't wake at all overnight. How can this be? Does the rest of the world sleep so terribly that taking forever to slumber and waking multiple times overnight puts me on the honor roll of great sleepers? (Yes, I know these are things I shouldn't do in bed.) And sure enough, Beddit did in fact report in my morning's results the long time I took to fall asleep.īesides my breathing and heartbeat data, Beddit reported that I awoke twice overnight. Well, it took me over an hour to fall asleep-partly due to watching You Tube videos and checking my email and Facebook. As I got into bed, I pressed "sleep" on the app and apparently the program began to take my sleep measurements. A few basic questions (age, sex, height, weight) and I was done-plus interested to see the results of sleep night #1. This sleep monitor collects and analyzes different data, such as heartbeat, snoring, movements, breathing, humidity and temperature of the room. Luckily, that was super-easy-and fast-to install. Beddit is a flexible, soft and thin smart object that does not create any kind of annoyance once you lie on the bed. (Hint: At least someone got a restful night's sleep.) The extra wires protruding out from the side of the bed from the sensor were a bit worrisome, as my cat usually likes to fuss with strings and assorted dangly things. You can't feel the thin strip under the sheet whatsoever. I peeled off the sensor strip from its plastic paper cover and stuck on my mattress under the sheet. I plugged in an extra charger by my bedside to be sure I had enough power to last through the night. But I also needed my iPhone charged overnight to be sure that the juice didn't run out as the Beddit app ran all night. Next I realized I needed to have an outlet for this gear right next to the bed. So I had to make sure the cord wouldn't get damaged each time we "put the bed up" in the morning. Recall I live in a studio apartment? We've got a Murphy bed, you know the type that folds into the wall. I've got an iPhone which it works with and it's also compatible with Android devices. The directions for use seemed simple: Basically stick the sensor strip to the mattress under the sheet and download the app. The sensor strip seemed like a good size to cover one half of my queen size mattress so I figured it wouldn't pick up any info from my husband's side. ![]() I took the device from the neatly packed, small box and gave it a once over. (Disclosure: I live in a studio apartment). With automatic and accurate tracking, you get a full picture of your. The sensor strip is extremely thin, flat and soft at 2 millimetres thin, you won’t even notice it’s there. For about $120, the device seemed cheaper than getting a physician and a prescription for sleeping pills and more convenient than finding another room where I could sleep. Beddit Sleep Monitor automatically tracks your sleep and works with the Beddit app on your iPhone to help measure, manage and improve your sleep. I thought Beddit sleep tracker could give me some professional insight into what my body's dealing with overnight, and perhaps help me get as good a night's sleep as the others in the household. Paired with my bouts of insomnia and wacko dreams, I've got a snorer for a husband (sorry honey), and a cat who finds maximum coziness by sleeping between my legs… horizontally! Along with an earache and a case of bow-leggedness, sleep deprivation is a constant issue. I know I am not a good sleeper, never was.
