SMARTSLEEP REVIEWS FULL
The Philips SmartSleep Connected is one of the more expensive sunrise clocks on the market, but you get a great deal for your money as this device packs in the features.Īs the name suggests, the SmartSleep Connected comes with full digital control and has a SleepMapper app (iOS and Android) so you can control the lights, schedule different alarms, and choose the light and sound patterns for your wind-down and wake-up routines. Philips SmartSleep Connected review: Features Overall, the design of the Philips SmartSleep Connected is intuitive and streamlined, but it does pay to spend a little time with it in order to make sure it works for you. We guarantee you won’t be late for work with this! If you are very hard to rouse in the mornings, there’s also the PowerWake alarm, which is difficult to ignore with its traditional alarm clock sound and flashing lights. Program the Philips SmartSleep Connected and your chosen sound will start off gently and gradually get louder. We also love this device’s selection of sound – choose nature sounds, similar to those found on the best meditation apps (opens in new tab), or pick ambient music or FM radio to wake up to or drift off to. You can also customize how long your ‘sunset’ and ‘sunrise’ light lasts as well. Other useful design elements include a gentle one-tap snooze and choice of eight wake-up sounds, four relaxation sounds and lights with four sun themes that vary in intensity and have 25 brightness settings to play with. This display also adjusts automatically to the light in the room, so there’s no bright glare, or you can switch the display off completely if you prefer. The Smart Touch display enables you to control the sounds and light with a light press of the buttons. But beyond the looks, it’s also designed to be easy and intuitive to use. With its sleek circular shape, the Philips SmartSleep Connected is a great-looking device that should suit most bedroom decors.

When it is able to provide better accuracy for the times you leave the bed or turn over during the night, I think it will be a valuable tool for people who are seeking out a better night’s sleep. I think the RestOn Sleepace smart sleep monitor is easy to use and provides good info on your sleep cycles.
SMARTSLEEP REVIEWS SOFTWARE
I’m guessing that the software needs to be tweaked. The Indiegogo comments for this project include people complaining about some of the same problems. Apparently I’m not the only person experiencing some inaccuracy issues. Maybe having a sleeping partner in the same bed can effect the collected data. One night it said I had turned over 61 times! If I turned over that many times how could I have a good sleep score? I’m not sure how it detects when a person turns over. It said I turned over many more times that I know I did. And each night it said I turned over a LOT. One night I got out of bed 2 times and it didn’t detect either time. For example, for my perceived restlessness it suggested that I adjust the room temperature to make it cooler and not to eat or exercise before bedtime.Īfter using the Sleepace for several nights, I have to say that I’m not sure about the accuracy of some of the data that it collects.
SMARTSLEEP REVIEWS HOW TO
If the app detects sleeping problems, it will provide suggestions in the app on how to improve sleep to get your nightly scores to a higher level. My heart rate and breathing were in the normal range and I didn’t have any apnea episodes. The monitor showed that I slept well each night. The Sleepace is thin enough that I barely noticed it was under my fitted flannel sheets. I hate wearing things on my wrist and always found them to be annoying.
As you continue to use Sleepace, the app will keep track of your sleep scores so that you can go back and view trends. I used the Sleepace for a week and found it to be much more comfortable to use than other sleep trackers that I’ve tried.
