Hey there Matteo, thanks for taking questions from the crowd. I'm somewhat of a sleep technology enthusiast, mostly because I've always had trouble sleeping (and getting reliable metrics on my sleep). I created a web site called http://sleepyti.me a few years ago to help me wake up refreshed -- which works pretty well -- and that's what led me to this question. Does your "sleep cycle" technology detect movement to wake the user up (similar to my Jawbone UP's "smart alarm,") or does it actually calculate the cycles based on time asleep? Or something else entirely? I'm not sure if one method is better than the other (heart-rate and/or REM detection would really be best), but I'm interested in the approach you guys took. Thanks in advance, and awesome work on your product! |

We have heard about sleepyti.me from so many of our backers that use it or have used it in the past. It's an awesome and easy-to-use solution. Would love to chat 1-1 about sleep technology and what you have learned so far.
The way Luna works right now is through piezo sensors that pick up presence in bed, movement, heart and breathing rate and we use this information to determine your sleep phase quite more accurately than most of the products in the market - specially when compared to accelerometer-based solutions.
The detection of sleep phases is used for several of our features - from sleep tracking to the smart alarm.
Thanks for your feedback! M
