Zeo: Hacking Sleep

I purchased a zeo.

I received it yesterday, have tried it once, and so far I’m impressed. It’ll be exciting to see how much data I can get out of it.

It was able to report:

• how long it took me to fall asleep (33 minutes)
• how long I slept, total (10 hours, 25 minutes)
• how many times I woke up during the night (6. Ouch. I only remember 3 of them.)
• how much deep, light, and REM sleep I got (plenty!)

The headband was comfortable and non-disruptive. I toss a bit, and slept on my sides and my stomach, and the headband didn’t budge.

My ZQ score was 114. Sky high, according to the pamphlet they included in the package. Apparently in my age bracket the average is around 80.

Interestingly, when I woke up, my subjective judgement was that I had slept “okay”.
