How does Sleepwave track sleep?
Detecting movement is essential for accurate sleep tracking, as the amount we move in bed indicates how awake we are. By transmitting an inaudible sound wave from a phone’s speaker and listening to the reflections with its microphone, Sleepwave accurately detects motion, enabling advanced estimation of sleep stages.
Can animals hear the tone?
Similar to human brains, animals are naturally inclined to notice moving objects or changing sounds compared to those that remain static or fixed. Sleepwave plays a constant, pure tone that is very quiet, significantly reducing the likelihood of an awareness response.
Why is there no sleep score?
Sleep is complicated, and we don’t believe it can be reduced to a single number. Sleepwave provides you with data, tracking and trends so you can see your sleeping patterns and find what does and doesn’t work for you. We can’t tell you if you’ve woken up feeling great, only you can do that. Whilst against conventional wisdom, who says you can’t feel great after only five hours of sleep?
