WHAT IS SLEEPTRACKER ®? Why is it so hard to wake up to a normal alarm clock? Because a normal alarm clock can’t detect where you are in your sleep cycle — a continuous cycle from deep sleep, to brief almost-awake moments, and back to deep sleep again. Occasionally, your alarm may catch you at an optimal, almost-awake moment and you wake up feeling refreshed, but usually you grope for the snooze button waking up tired and groggy. SLEEPTRACKER® puts an end to that tired feeling.
ABOUT see the “Data Review” section on page 15.) IS SLEEPTRACKER? SLEEPTRACKER® is ideal for anyone who wants to wake up alert and ready to start the day, such as frequent travelers across time zones, business people looking for that extra edge, students with fluctuating schedules, or busy moms who need to wake up easily.
ABOUT THE SLEEP CYCLE When you sleep,your body goes through a series of sleep cycles. The average adult experiences 4-5 full sleep cycles over an 8-hour period.Each cycle lasts about 90-110 minutes and comprises five different stages, as illustrated by the chart on page 8. No two people have the same sleep cycles, and nobody has the same cycle twice. Many factors can influence sleep cycles,including diet,exercise,medications,drugs or alcohol,stress,sleep disorders,and sleep deprivation.
ABOUT THE SLEEP CYCLE (cont.) Stage 5 of sleep,also known as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep,is marked by extensive physiological changes, such as accelerated respiration, increased brain activity, rapid eye movement, and muscle relaxation. People dream during REM sleep. In the first third of the night, Delta sleep stages last longer than REM stages. As the night progresses, Delta sleep diminishes in length. By the last third of the night, Delta sleep usually ceases, while REM stages lengthen.

ABOUT THE SLEEP CYCLE (cont.) Remember that everyone’s sleep patterns are different, and everyone’s Data A is different. Almostawake moments may be frequent or occasional, sporadic or regular. A 20- to 30-minute Data A is not uncommon. Moreover, multiple almost-awake moments can occur within one sleep cycle. To best assess your sleep, look to see whether your Data A lengthens as you continue to use the SLEEPTRACKER®. An increasing Data A means you’re getting more consistent sleep.
REVIEWING YOUR SLEEP DATA (CONT). foods can all affect your Data A. After SLEEPTRACKER® records an almost awake-moment,it will not record another one for 8 minutes. This is to keep SLEEPTRACKER® from recording multiple almost-awake moments because you get up in the middle of the night. If you stay up for more than 8 minutes, SLEEPTRACKER® will record an awake moment every 8 minutes until you go back to sleep.
