I'm not using this as a substitute for medical care -- really is in addition to, and as a bit of an every day reminder on habits & behaviors. Sleep studies themselves (I've done one; planning to do another) have issues, in that they're so different, conditions-wise, that they perturb your sleep significantly, which is the very thing they're trying to measure. So something like a Zeo should help to set a baseline for interpreting those results. Yep, for sure.

Not sure, however, about any self-prescribed device substituting for professional help. For years, I was sleepy all the time, but very skeptical of sleep testing. Since testing & diagnosis, I am the "poster boy" for CPAP, it has absolutely changed my life. My BP is way down, I'm virtually never sleepy, I get REM sleep all night long. The first night I used it, I had five years worth of dreams. (This is referred to as "REM Rebound", a phenomenon well known to sleep specialists.) If you haven't done so already, see a sleep specialist and get tested. I'm sure the folks at Zeo would say the same thing. Great points about personal monitors.

How are your feelings about the quality of the Zeo as a whole? I've considered things like it but wasn't sure how useful they are for gathering accurate data.

How are your feelings about the quality of the Zeo as a whole? I’ve considered things like it but wasn’t sure how useful they are for gathering accurate data.

First of all, appologies for using your blog to contact you. Hopefully you don't mind. I am a MSc in Management student on Edinburgh University in Scotland. My group and I decided to use Mozilla as a topic of our Organizational behaviour course assignment. Since we all watched (on a DVD) your 2008. appearance on Stanford executive meeting, we were intrigued with the chaordic model of management you mentioned. Therefore, we would like to ask you a few questions about the practical use of the montioned model, and about the culture that exists both within Mozilla and towards all those people who are volunteering to make Mozilla the best web browser. Please contact me on the e-mail address I provided. Best regards, Jakov Jandric Hello!

FYI, there's also a sleep wheel in the box with Zeo that allows you to compare your sleep with others' your age. It looks like you're ahead of the curve already. Let us know if you have any questions/concerns along the way (via traditional customer support, or on twitter or Facebook). -Derek@Zeo Hi John – Glad to see the great start.

Had been thinking about getting one too. Also love the ideas of personal sensors. I like the feedback loop that it provides -- esp. for exercise. Keeps one motivated. Looking forward to seeing your review of it over time and if its worth the trouble/investment in the mid-long term as the geek-factor wares out. Cool.
