We know about a good night’s sleep, but do you know that it is equally important to get a good morning’s wake up too?
Waking up in the morning feeling quite dizzy and still tired can ruin your day. It is really how we wake up that sets our mood for the day. But your sleeping habits and even the time you set your alarm to go off in the morning can affect your sleep quality and wake up feeling. To have optimal sleep and wake ups, the WakeMate is the gadget to look for. WakeMate is an actigraph cellphone accessory that connects to your iPhone/ iPod Touch much like how Nike for iPod accessory works. The WakeMate monitor the user’s motions and then derives the circadian rhythm and sleeping patterns. It also analyzes your sleeping pattern throughout the night and measures how good your sleep was based on a sleeping index. It can then advise you on what your optimal sleeping time is and ways to get better sleep.
The waking up process is configured by setting a 20-minute window of waking up where the WakeMate will trigger the alarm. For example, you need to wake up at 9:00am, you therefore have to set WakeMate to set off the alarm at 8:40am-9:00am. The reason behind this is that an optimal wake up period happens once every 20 minutes where you will feel energized and sleep inertia (grogginess) is at its minimum.
Say hello to better sleep and mornings with WakeMate.
