Eight, a sleep technology company, launched a new app feature to help its Smart Mattress users get better sleep. It was added to its existing tracker on June 20th.
Alexandra Zatarain, Eights founder and Jessica Dolnick, Affiliate Manager explained how sleep coaching helps to improve sleep tracking so that you can enjoy the 360 smart experience. Zatarain added:
Although sleep trackers offer a lot of information, users really want more. The sleep coach is more user-friendly and more actionable.
Unlike sleep tracking devices, the Eight sleep coach analyzes data and uses it to provide sleepers with tips and observations that might help themdevelop healthier bedtime patterns.Some consumers may find wearable sleep gadgets to be obtrusive, but Zatarain assured me that the sleep coach doesnt require consumers to wear anything and it disappears in your bedroom.She explained that you simply sleep on the mattress, and when you awake, your sleep coach will be there to give you some information about how you slept.
SLEEPING WITH TECHNOLOGY
Eight was founded in 2014 and has since tracked millions of nights sleep, processed 500 terabytes of health data, and is expecting to become the largest sleep lab in the world by the end of .According to the people at Eight, smart mattresses will completely replace standard mattresses within the coming decade. This advancement of sleep technology might help consumers understand and develop balanced sleep schedules, but there are some studies that warn against too much tech in the bedroom.
Research shows that excessive screen time and binge-watching TV before bed can lead to insomnia. This is why:some sleepers might be hesitant to wirelessly connect their mattress to an app on their phones. Dolnick and Zatarain say that creating a smart bedroom will improve sleep. Zatarain explained to me that our product is smart and uses all the technology. This allows us to give information about our customers‘ sleep to them with improved functionality.
Dolnick and Zatarain said that they believe that Eight will continue to grow and will be better able to understand the sleep patterns of people. The new sleep coach feature will also help them to do so.The Eight sleep coach records data and provides sleep tips, but it also lets consumers know how they sleep in comparison to others in their demographic. The coach uses location, age, gender, and other identifiers to help sleepers relate to the habits of their peers so that they can see where they rank.
Eight claims that sleep technology can help bad sleepers, such as those who have poor nighttime sleep habits, to identify and make changes. Zatarain said that there is so much more that can be done and that tech has a great impact on the lives of people.
