Why SLEEPTRACKER® works:

The Key to Waking Up Refreshed
Why is it so hard to wake up to a normal alarm clock? Because a normal alarm clock can't detect where you are in your sleep cycle - a continuous cycle from deep sleep, to brief almost-awake moments, and back to deep sleep again. Occasionally, your alarm may catch you at an optimal, almost-awake moment and you wake up feeling refreshed, but usually you grope for the snooze button waking up tired and groggy.

• No two people have the same sleep cycles, and nobody has the same cycle twice. Many factors can influence sleep cycles, including diet, exercise, medications, drugs or alcohol, stress, sleep disorders, and sleep deprivation. Age and gender can play a role, too: women tend to sleep more soundly than men, and as we age, we sleep more restlessly.


• A typical sleep cycle has five stages and takes 90-110 minutes. During Stage 1 of your sleep cycle, you sleep lightly. At Stage 2, your sleep gets progressively deeper. At Stages 3 and 4, also known as "Delta Sleep," you sleep most heavily; this is when your body rebuilds itself.


• Stage 5 of sleep, also known as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, is marked by extensive physiological changes, such as accelerated respiration, increased brain activity, rapid eye movement, and muscle relaxation. People dream during REM sleep.


• In the first third of the night, Delta sleep stages last longer than REM stages. As the night progresses, Delta sleep diminishes in length. By the last third of the night, Delta sleep usually ceases, while REM stages lengthen.

Clinically Proven By a Major US University
A recent study evaluation reveals that SLEEPTRACKER®, the world?s only sleep-monitoring watch, is nearly as effective in gathering specific sleep data as advanced sleep laboratory equipment. When comparing SLEEPTRACKER to lab tests, the watch successfully detects moments of restlessness during sleep 91 percent of the time.

The evaluation study was independently conducted by Douglas W. Puryear, MD, FCCP, D. ABSM, director of Sleep Disorders Centers of Pulmonary Associates in Midlothian, VA. The primary purpose of the study was to compare SLEEPTRACKER with advanced sleep laboratory equipment in the proper detection of movement events while sleeping.

"The popularity of SLEEPTRACKER had led many sleep researchers to inquire about its ability to monitor sleep events based on movement," said Lee Loree, developer of SLEEPTRACKER. "This new evaluation study only furthers what we already knew about the product ? that it is effective in measuring the movements associated with a light sleep stage, helping thousands of people across the globe wake up feeling more refreshed."
