I am only interested in monitoring sleep cycles, especially REM. Is this as good as any other for that?

Doesn't measure rem at all, per se, but you can infer that deep sleep is rem. they're scientificallyRigorous about thei sleep stage classifications. Anyone who tells you they can measure rem without measuring your brain waves with an EEG sensor is being intellectually dishonest. But you can infer, based on the lack of movement that is classified as deep sleep, that's it is rem sleep since the body goes into paralysis during rem. hope that helps!

Yes, the Beddit sleep tracker is great for tracking sleep cycles. I feel like it is very accurate and I like that it tracks REM, heart beat rate, snoring, when I have awaken during the night, how long it takes to sleep, etc. I wish that this device would give improvement tips specific to my sleep pattern versus what is currently offered which is generic sleep tips.

No, it's not even worth recording, very limited. Hope you find a good one for monitoring at a reasonable price.

D. Rein, I am debating purchasing one of these. I've really gotten into workout dvds and I'm tracking my calories without much success on my scale. I am hoping one of these can help me adjust my workout/eating to reach my goals. Which do you think would be better for me? I work a desk job so most of my day is sedentary. I'm also continuously tired and am excited to have something that tracks my sleep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

For me it personally does. I really dig it, it doesn't cause me anxiety when I get up. I really like it. I know you didn't ask but, the sleep tracking function is also very nice as well.

This records pulse rate and Spo2 only.It does not tell you depth of sleep.Depth of sleep can only be measured by EEG monitoring by sleep study in sleep lab.

No, I don't think it tracks your sleep, as a matter of fact, pick something else. It is confusing to use and not very user friendly.

Amy, That's not one of the "things" you can monitor and keep track of. I had a quick search but I'm not seeing any devices that will do this. Doesn't mean one does not exist, just I could not find it. Nigel.

I can't answer how accurate it is, but I bought it for my own sleep study on the recommendation of apnea forums. It seems to be right to me and I would recommend it to you for sleep study. Also I have read where other folks have done side by side comparisons and they say it is right on.

Not unless you can fall asleep in four minutes. There's an Auto mode, but it takes only three readings, and you have only a few choices for the delay, the longest being two minutes. Since they could have easily offered a one-hour option with a small software change, there may a reason they didn't. I wonder if the device isn't approved for use on a sleeping person.

Baby Monitor HD by SunshineApps is the app recommended by the WiFi Baby people and works well for us. The added benefit is that if you have a technical question or issue with the monitor's function with your mobile device, the tech help guys will be very familiar with the app and easily walk you through the correct settings, etc. I'm not sure how experienced they are with other software. Anyway, I can't imagine any other app working better, although maybe some others are cheaper. The WiFi Baby recommendation was good enough for me.

Yes, you can use it with different software enabling it to do anything. It will also record 24/7 with the original software. Be advised you will always see a light on, green during the day and many red ones during the night. Additionally, you can have it always on; but only recording for motion or alarm (external trigger) to conserve storage space.

Yes the REM meter gives off sound as well as lights when tripped. Also it had an alarm when temp changes.

I'm still working on that. Misfit should give more information on that. For example: if you sleep 8 hours is 4 hours of deep sleep pretty normal? That's approximately what I get. Misfit needs to improve the software. I turned on the wake up alarm out of curiousity and now am searching for a way to turn it off so it doesn't ring again the next day. I suppose if you clock 2 hours or less of deep sleep that should be investigated. Remember Misfit only reads motion. Maybe a person who turns a lot while sleeping is okay even though this will give him/her low hours of deep sleep. Worth researching how much REM sleep we need.

Yes it does. There are 4 different reports that it can generate. I generated the reports from several days for my Sleep Doc and he very much appreciated them. One of the days I was using another PulseOx monitor, and the results from this device were much cleaner than from the monitor.

Yes, it tracked it very well. Quite the eye opener. It tracks total time slept & deep sleep.

I have no way of knowing the exact answer. However, my sleep doctor accepted the results and cancelled a second sleep study. In addition, sleep software that I have for my cpap (bipap) allows me to hook this one up to it and accept it along with other studies recorded by the cpap machine----so they must think it's worthwhile. I believe it will tell you or encourage you that you better or better not take care of your apnea and whether to get the full blown sleep study.
