Comment on Sense – Wake up when it's right for you

Comments

Here is an interesting look at whether any of these sorts of devices actually work (in comparison to a real polysonogram): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-christopher-winter/sleep-ti.... The answer is: most of these things claim to be able to do a lot more with simple sensing techniques than they can actually do accurately.

If your room is too hot, sense will tell you

...in case your skin can't

if your room is too bright, sense will tell you

...in case your eyes don't

I have no usable vision but can sometimes tell if a light is on. I don't know if light effects my sleeping though so that feature could actually be useful.

Can it sense my wife's mood and flash a certain color so I know to make up the couch?

If your room is too noisy, sense will send the data for further analysis ;)
