I rarely meet a person that says they sleep well for the most part. As life gets busier and even people that tend to be problem free, it’s no guarantee you will be snoozing right when your head meets the pillow. To remain healthy, you need to get proper rest and if you are already are suffering health issues, they may exacerbate any condition, so you need to be in tune with how well you sleep and what you can improve and/or change. The problem with the latter is you can’t monitor yourself when your brain is resting, and having someone watch you……well, that can up the creep factor 🙂
Beddit fixes that by providing a monitoring system that sort of tells on you when you can’t tell on yourself! Nothing that makes you uncomfortable, so no wires or stickers that in it self would encumber anyone. All you have to do for installation, is literally put it under your sheets, so the product blends into environment. No alterations needed.
What Beddit can Share with you:
The Beddit monitor is a system all in it’s own. It monitors your heart rate, respiration, sleep cycles, to sleep times. You will know if you snore , how much you move while sleeping and it can even tell if you awoke for a “potty break”. The system also comes with a “smart alarm” and can be used by other family members. Its not like you have to buy one monitor for everyone, but it may make it easier if you want to keep monitoring and improving your sleep.
Retail Price Point: $125 via Beddit directly and in both colors. It’s $149.99 but on sale $138.99 at Best Buy (right now) and you can pick between a black or white colored monitor. You can also find the system at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $149.99 and it’s only available in white, but keep in mind the coupons the store has that may help enhance your savings. Amazon has the product for $139.87. Saving money helps me sleep better, so see what store works for you best.
Warranty: One year manufacture warranty and check-out the pamphlet for more information.
How Beddit Communicates with you:
It’s as easy to understand as it is to use. Beddit uses Bluetooth to communicate and provides you with daily tips. Our sleep patterns change where one week you may be moving and flipping, and other times you may not be getting that deep sleep where you reach full rest. Allergies can cause congestion, so you will also know your breathing pattern and if you snored. It’s Apple Health supported on iOS8 and Android friendly too. All the information is gathered and easy accessible. You can even combine family data or just focus on the members in your family not getting proper rest. You just download the app and go!
Verdict:
It seemed too simple that I was unsure of the product. Hey, easy things scare me! This is not a medical device and will not diagnose you, like if you suffer from sleep apnea, but look at it as a tool. You don’ just feel someone’s forehead and guess the degrees of their temperature. You use a thermometer and this is how I viewed the Beddit system after getting it out of the package and familiarizing myself with the product. It’s a sleep meter and it’s going to tell me information that I can share even share with my doctor. I already knew I did not sleep well but most times I was puzzled as to why I woke up so tired after doing the math of how long I slept. Well, I move a lot in bed. More than I ever imagined. I definitely burn calories by flipping from one side to another and each time I am woken up, I again have to start all over with my sleep stages. I suffer from asthma and it seems when I cough while sleeping, it tends to again disturb my sleep. My Husband said there are times I have snores or just a rattle going when I am sleeping but it’s not an everyday thing. Well, I was able to get confirmation that I do snore and especially after a stressful day when my breathing is not at optimum. Great information and easy to share. The Beddit system can even pick-up my snore and know the difference between that of my Husband’s (yes, he is guilty too) because it has a built-in microphone. I was surprised how much information I could gather and I knew my breathing gives me issues but a huge one is when I roll flat on my back and that is what is causing the coughing. My chest movements were cataloged and I have adjusted even the pillows I use. Having a smaller pillow now to keep me from going flat on my back made a big difference. I don’t suffer from that deep fatigue I would wake up with and sometimes I woke up more tired than when I went to bed. I would have not known this without the Beddit system and it’s that DIY insight I needed. Beddit is not a doctor but it’s the “other me” I needed for the times we can’t watch ourselves. I do recommend it and even for those in your family that sleep well. You can improve your rest and this means the next day you may just wake up being a better you!
