Customer Reviews of SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch
Customer Review: Works Perfectly For Me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been plagued with sleep problems for as long as I can remember. No matter how tired I get, I cannot fall asleep on my own, so I am reliant on prescription medication. I've actually gone as long as five days without sleep, trying to get to sleep on my own, but by then I am so exhausted I can't take it anymore so I give in and take the pills. Right now I'm on Seroquel and Amitriptyline for sleep and depression. I take 800MG of Seroquel and 100MG of Amitriptyline. Even with the medication, I sometimes have trouble falling asleep.
Because of my sleep issues, I had previously never gotten into a good sleep routine. I was going to bed and waking up at different times, sleep was restless and sporadic. I had also developed some poor sleeping habits, such as falling to sleep with the television on, etc. Getting good sleep was a nightly battle which I continuously lost .
I was browsing the internet looking for some help or advice and I came across a site selling a SleepTracker® watch. I'm not really sure HOW the watch works, but I can tell you that it's changed my life. I am now going to bed at the same time every night and waking up on a regular schedule. The SleepTracker watch has been a true godsend.
One of the things I like most about the watch is that you can set an alarm time for when you want to get up and set a time window, such as 30 minute or so. The watch waits until the right time, within the window you set, to wake you up and the results are feeling refreshed and well rested. The watch also keeps track of your sleep via a software program, which is something helpful when discussing your sleep issues with your doctor - although you need to keep track of your sleep and almost awake times in a notebook because one of the flaws of the software is that you can't print out any of the information or reports. Again, this watch has changed my life and has helped me to develop better sleep habits.
In addition to the watch, I have completely changed my sleep routines. I no longer eat heavy meals before bed, the television stays off, and I play a variety of relaxing CD's meant to aid sleeping. My favorite CD thus far is called H2O. It's a mixture of water sounds with very relaxing music. I set the disc to repeat and enjoy a full night of restful sleep.
Despite all the good things that the watch and new habits have had on my sleep, I'm still dependant on medication to get me to sleep. I hope that someday I'll be able to break free from this cycle, but it's possible that I'll never be able to go off the medications.
I wanted to post this here for others that may be having similar problems. The watch isn't perfect, and if you're a sound sleeper you might not hear or feel the alarm (it beeps and vibrates). I am in no way affiliated with the company that makes the watches, I'm just a satisfied customer.
I hope this information is useful for others and I'd love to hear back from people regarding their sleep routine. Also, if anyone else either has, or gets, the SleepTracker watch, I'd like to get some feedback on that as well. I also HIGHLY recommend the CD "H2O" which is available from the solitudes website, and possibly in some stores. I know that Bed Bath and Beyond sell the CD as well.
Thanks for listening, and hopefully this post will help others.

Description of SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch
Sleeptracker Pro WatchWake up feeling refreshed with the SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch. By tracking your body's natural sleep rhythms and sounding your alarm during optimal almost-awake moments, this watch helps you avoid being jarred from a deep slumber. And the watch also lets you download your sleep data to your computer so you can decide what lifestyle choices help you rest easier.
 The SleepTracker Pro offers sleek styling and an easy-to-read digital display. View larger. |
 The SleepTracker identifies almost-awake moments that occur as your body cycles through the five stages of sleep. |
How SleepTracker Works
When you wear the sleek, stylish SleepTracker on your wrist like a regular watch, internal sensors detect subtle physical signals from your body that indicate whether you are asleep or awake. This allows the SleepTracker to identify the almost-awake moments when it will be easiest to rouse you.
During the night, your body goes through a series of sleep cycles comprised of five different stages. The average adult will experience four or five cycles each night, that include light stage-one sleep, slightly deeper stage-two sleep, heavy stage three, stage-four "Delta Sleep," which is when your body rebuilds itself, and REM sleep, a unique stage during which people dream and experience significant physiological changes. Pinpointing the moments within each cycle when you are naturally closest to waking makes this alarm system truly unique.
Depending on your schedule, you can set an alarm window to last for up to 90 minutes. Since your alarm sounds at the moment during the preset alarm window when you are most alert, you will wake up refreshed instead of groggy. World travelers, business associates, busy parents, and students with early morning classes are particularly likely to enjoy the edge this gives them during the first hours of every day.
Monitoring Your Sleep Data for a Healthier Lifestyle
By using the mode button to select "data review," you can review a chronological list of the previous night's almost-awake moments. The unique "Data A" reading indicates the average time between your almost-awake moments. This reading can help you know how soundly you are sleeping. A longer Data A reading than normal may indicate a particularly restful sleep, while a shorter Data A reading and an increased number of almost-awake moments may indicate a restless night.
Taking a look at what you did prior to bed on those restless evenings can help you better understand how your waking life affects your sleep patterns. Activities such as smoking, late-evening exercise, and eating a big, spicy meal can significantly impact your night's rest and your Data A reading. The Pro model offers an expanded 12-hour window of sleep data collection.
Software included with the Pro model helps you keep track of these lifestyle factors. Simply use a USB connection to transfer sleep data from the SleepTracker watch to your computer, enter any factors you want to track, and the details of your nights become available for quick and easy comparative reviews. This helps you see the serious sleep benefits of small lifestyle adjustments.
The Only Watch You Need
The SleepTracker's innovative almost-awake technology can be set to wake you with a vibrating alarm, a ringing alarm, or both at the same time. Featuring a sporty, sophisticated look that helps it do double-duty as an everyday watch, the SleepTracker has an easy-to-read digital display with time, day, and date readouts. Also offering a GLO back-light for easy nighttime reference, and water-resistance, the SleepTracker is ready to take on your busy days and help you achieve restful nights.
