Sleep monitor like Zeo?

Post by ohwhatanight » Tue Mar 03, 2015 7:50 pm

I had a Zeo a few years ago and thought it was wonderful. I learned a great deal about my sleep patterns and was able to make necessary adjustments to get a better night's sleep. But since they went belly-up, I haven't been able to use it and wondered if anyone else has come up with a sleep monitor as accurate as the Zeo. Any recommendations? I figure the $.99 smart phone apps aren't going to cut it and I don't know if something you wear on your wrist will be as accurate as the headband was. I look forward to any feedback you all have on things you have tried.

Thanks in advance.

I've been using the ResMed S+ monitor and have had good success with it........they cost about $150 but I got mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond with the 20% off coupon so it ended up being around $120. I have accumulated four months of data on the system now, and as far as I can tell it seems to be very accurate. I have awoken from a dream and taken note of the time, then in the morning I look at the data and sure enough it showed me in REM state at the time that I woke. I have always had sleep latency and the machine shows the same thing.........takes a long time to fall asleep..........so, granted my observations are only anecdotal, but all the data I am getting off the machine seems to match up well with what I am experiencing with my nightly sleep patterns and experiences.

I have also been able to print out my S+ hypnogram and then correlate it to SleepyHead graphs, and learned that most of my Hypopneas are occurring in bunches during the time that the S+ is indicating I am in a REM period, which makes sense to me that I have more "events" during periods of REM sleep.

I've got a zeo, and I use it every night.

sometimes, I even look at the data.

maybe it's cuz mine is the bedside unit? I don't know if the android ones are still working, Jay?

That is a seriously cool concept. Although I don't know how much more stuff on the head and face even Darth Lady is going to be able to take.

If you have the Bedside Model, see this thread to get it up and running: Zeo Viewer.
The mobile unit is more difficult, but some successes have been reported here.

For people using a nasal or full face mask: on the Neuroon the cut-out part for the nose seems pretty low, possibly in conflict with the top of the mask.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

As rough and sketchy as the data from my Misfit Flash is, it gives a big bang for the buck!
Of course, I bought mine when Best Buy had them for $25 at Christmas.
I never expected non-contact info to be so good!
I would consider a Resmed S+, but we're still living in a tiny house, with a micro bedroom.
No room for anything besides what's already shoehorned in.
