Collect your own sleep data

Study your sleep from the comfort of your bed.  The Zeo.  Has anyone seen this thing?  You wear a headband to bed and it measures your sleep by monitoring your electrical brain signals.  The bedside computer lets you analyze your sleeping and suggests ways to make it better.  LOL!!  I don't need to spend $249 on this thing to tell me having kids and a dog is disruptive to my sleep.

I think it would be cool to play with it a few nights.  I definately think a kid interested in the brain or electrophysiology would love this piece incorporated into their science lessons at home.  But for daily use, that's a gadget I picture Fraiser and Niles using!  Haha

Maybe I'll have to get this for my husband, since he is stalling on using his referral to the sleep clinic!

Great idea!  And come to think of it...... this thing could be cheaper than my "copay" on my insurance plan!!  ha

I'd love to play w/something like that.  Kind of remnds me of the metabolic tests you can do to determine how many calories you truly burn at rest etc.  There is a cool product you can get that attempts to duplicate it but it's pricey.

Indirect calorimetry I think is what I was going for.

Oh this would be fun!! Just finished watching a show about dreaming on NOVA. I cant imagine that for 250 this gadget get anywhere near the amount of info you would get at a sleep clinic.
