OK, so it’s not cheap! Think again, this sleep tracker watch does do something rather special.

As with most things, the occurence of sleep cycles differs between individuals. patterns are also affected by things like diet, drugs, exercise, stress, sleep deprivation, age and gender etc.

The key to waking up bright and refreshed is to wake during a light sleep cycle (stage 1 of the cycle). This is just what the Sleep Tracker watch does.

The Sleep Tracker watch is worn like a normal watch and is aimed at anyone who would like to wake up bright and breezy and ready to face the day. It is especially useful for people who frequently travel across time zones such as business people who need an edge wherever they are, and quickly. For busy mums who need to wake easily and fresh and many more.

Most people know the basics of how we sleep using a continuous round of different sleep states. What the Sleep Tracker watch does, is to find those moments in your cycle where you are ‘almost’ awake and will wake you at the optimum time for you close to when you need to get up. What this means is that you are much less likely to wake like a bear with a sore head!

When you set your alarm for a certain time, your alarm clock does not know whether you will be a deep sleep cycle or not. It would be quite a feat if it did! Therefore, when you alarm goes off and you have been in a deeper sleep, this is why you wake up like a sloth and snap at anyone who dares talk to you!

The Sleep Tracker watch was the subject of a research study by a major US university and they found that this watch was as close to as effective as their very expensive sleep lab equipment in gathering the same type of data, i.e. detecting movement while sleeping during a light sleep stage. Obviously, this comparison Would make the Sleep Tracker watch a valuable asset in some cases for the medical profession and would be much less expensive than sending people to sleep clinics for evaluation.
