WakeMate Sleep System
I am always fascinated by sleep systems and peoples inherent want to defeat sleep. I started in college with all night “Lan Parties” where we would have contests to see who could consume the most caffeine and stay up the longest. Then homework replaced my parties and long drawn out projects were my games. Once I graduated and joined the real world of work and worry, I still find it useful to conquer sleep. I have read many statistics of how the human body doesn’t really need 8 hours, or that you can break up your sleep cycle, or that you can sleep less and accomplish more.
I initially started following a system where the theory was getting up was a conditioned behavior. The idea was to train yourself to jump up at the sound of your alarm. Like any good habit, after a few days of sleeping in, my ability to jump up on subsequent days was completely gone.
After frustration my research lead me to a scientific way of waking yourself up. It is WakeMate. This system is based on an accelerometer worn around your wrist that communicated via bluetooth to your Android or iOS device. I researched it and read the reviews and finally bought it. The 30 day money back guarantee finally sold me on the deal, because if there were any problems, I’d ship it back and be right where I was when I got it.
Tonight is my first night of using it. I pulled it out of the package, charged the battery. I synced it to my Droid X, which people on the reviews said was not possible. It is possible and it worked seamless. I was able to log in to my account and was able to set all the settings. I am ready to go to sleep now. Everything looks like it is working properly. Now all that is left to do if push the sleep button once I finish this write up.
I am going to try and log my results with this system since my goals are to sleep less while having more fulfilling sleep. About 80% of my mornings are a fight with myself and my determination is starting to falter. Hopefully this system gives me the edge I need to avoid waking up during quality sleep. Wish me luck!!!
Cheers,
Mike
