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.
The Eight sleep coach analyses data and provides tips and observations to help sleepers make better bedtime habits.Wearable sleep aids may be perceived as intrusive by some consumers. Zatarain assured that the sleep coach does not require any wearable devices and can simply disappear 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 established in 2014. It has tracked millions of sleep nights, processed 500 terabytes health data and is expected to be the largest global sleep lab by the end.Eight predicts that smart mattresses will replace traditional mattresses in the next decade.. Although this advancement in sleep technology may help consumers understand and create balanced sleep schedules for themselves, there are studies that caution 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 people might be reluctant to wirelessly link their mattress to an app from their smartphones.. 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 not only records data but also provides sleep tips. It also allows consumers to see how they sleep relative to others in their community.. Coaches use location, gender, age, and other identifiers in order to help sleepers relate with the habits of their peers, so they can determine 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.
The purchase of the Smart Mattress starts at €89. Eights Sleep Coach App comes with your Smart Mattress.
