The fact that it is sold at Brookstone is kind of a turnoff for me, although the theory is interesting.

I am very happy to see these 2 types of technology come together. Frankly it's about time. I have said all along that you can't have a qualifying sleep related breathing event without measuring for sleep.

 

My one draw back is with Zeo. Have they worked out their bugs? Last I heard they were having trouble differing between wake, N1, and stage REM. You can't mark events while awake, and counting REM as n1 or wake could rule out quite a few events.

 

I am also disappointed that they are at Brookstone. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

for me, the fact that it's at Brookstone is a big turn-on ;)  i'm eager for these things to get into the hands of the masses and for the field of sleep technology to advance rapidly as a result.

Brookstone is for high end merchandise like accessories for i Pad, "Gift Ideas, Smart solutions", electonic games, alarm clocks,  bed items, massage chairs, personal massagers, ect., and now Zeo.  I think the more units sold the more data will be out there and the more they can do with all this data.

Yikes, another device that is electronic telling me all about my sleep patterns. That is all I need.

I can't purchase software and hardware for my RESMED CPAP (which I own) from the manufacturer to get readouts and here is another product that is technically unproven in the sleep apnea industry and costs pennies compared to the CPAP and I still won't be able to run it on my computer.

If a device this simple can do all it is suppose to do why doesn't the sleep industry use it?
