Mobile Applications Provide Personal Sleep Analytics

We're becoming used to the idea of analyzing our personal behavior through applications like Nike+ and Run Keeper. Now take it from running to the opposite extreme, monitoring yourself during sleep, with WakeMate and Sleep Cycle.

Wear WakeMate's wristband before heading to bed and the iPhone application will track, analyze, and even score your night's rest. Depending on a preselected 20 minute window, you will be woken up at an optimal point in time, hopefully leaving you feeling more alert and energized. Another more affordable application, Sleep Cycle, uses the built in accelerometer to monitor movement while you sleep. Through micromanaging our exercise, eating habits, and now even sleep, perhaps we will live healthier lives.
