When it comes to sleep, there are so many vaiables in play every night . While Xavier and Sjors make good points, even expanding the number of nights, or number of people the way they're suggesting would just give us more & better anecdotal evidence. I can't tell you how often we get E-mails from our customers who say something like "I tried the bars for a week, and I definitely slept better, but not really sure if they helped or not..." When you find something that works (or a combination of things), stick with it. Don't overthink or overanalyze it. that's what keeps people up at night :-) Great stuff! sean Hi Greg,

]]> Comment on Does sleeping in 90 minute intervals help you feel more rested? by Nico http://blog.wakemate.com/2011/04/05/743/comment-page-1/#comment-44584 Nico Sat, 30 Apr 2011 12:54:04 +0000 http://blog.wakemate.com/?p=743#comment-44584 I tried to leave a comment on a previous post about polyphasic sleep, but when I submitted it, I got a message saying comments were closed for that post.. weird. Anyway, first: +1 for the polyphasic sleep support feature. Second, I was very disappointed the other night when I went to bed late, woke up early and then the Wakemate app told me it wouldn't upload the data because it was less than 4 hours of data. Hence, I lost that night's sleep data, which is really bad, because when I don't get much sleep is probably the time when I want to optimize my bedtime the most, but if I can't track those days, I can't do anything about it.

That's on top of the $8 that you guys are charging. I was given no shipping options or shown any prices other than the ones I was charged by Wakemate and I put in all the details I was supposed to - what's going on guys? So now I'm down $120 for what started out (in December 2009) as a $50 product. I’m in Australia and I’ve just been charged $50 to ship this thing to me via OPAS.

You'd have to try this on at least 4 people, half of them using a (convincing) fake. Quality of sleep really depends on your state of mind so I would imagine a massive placebo effect with anything that claims to improve sleep (except perhaps anesthetics, knocking yourself unconscious or 3 day sleep deprivation).

This was not meant to be a statistical analysis, just some anecdotal evidence of my experience with the product. We will be improving the compare tool to allow for much better self analysis. We also have some things in the works and as we further analyze our database we will be providing more scientific and statistically significant insight on our findings.

A 40% decrease in time to fall asleep should be pretty significant over 7 nights, but you cannot really draw conclusions without knowing at least the standard deviation or see a broad pattern of the distribution.
