      This actually seems pretty cool: https://www.amazon.com/S-ResMed-Personal-Sleep-Solution/dp/B00NP52QE0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486478635&sr=8-1&keywords=S%2B+by+ResMed

      "It uses sonar, and those ultrasonic pulses can see straight through blanket (and PJ's) to monitor the movement of your chest as your breathe your way through the different stages of sleep."

      Note that a San Diego, California based company, ResMed purchased Zeo's intellectual property. Sadly, ResMed produces another of the cannot possibly (and doesn't) work bedside sleep monitors, the S+. It bathes the sleeper in microwave radiation and uses the Doppler-shift in reflected microwaves to detect upper body motion and respiration. Aside from bathing its user in microwaves, which seems somewhat contradictory to health-promoting, and having no idea what's going on inside the sleeper's brain, thus being more wrong than right, it is confused by anyone else who might be sharing the same bed. No thanks.

      So...who wants to be cooked while they sleep?

      I could use a base tan 😄

      Laura is so unbelievably afraid of radiation it's almost a phobia so that's a no go anyway

      Have you ever informed her that she is bombarded with gamma rays from the sun all of the time and there is nothing that she can do about it?

      Also, bananas have a naturally produced ion of potassium in them. Every time you eat a banana, you are getting a dose of radiation.

      On top of that, supposedly, Mountain Dew is also radioactive, sort of like a glow stick, or a minion.

        I used to work in the nuclear medical waste area of a hospital and in our training we learned that Americans do so much to shield themselves from radiation that it's become a health problem. Most Americans don't get a proper amount of radiation for maximum health.

          @StrongBad Morning! Idk why but I've been very tired lately. Same amount of sleep that I normally get.

          Just because your sleeping the same amount of time, doesn't mean your body is getting the same type of sleep you need. I found a Zeo band on ebay about a year back, sadly the things aren't produced anymore. Great info on your sleep patterns. https://www.grc.com/zeo.htm

          Hrm. That is a good idea. I should really analyze that and try to find a solution.

          There is a lot of research about what sleep cycle to wake up in. It the same concept that says a 15-20 minute nap will actually leave you more refreshed than longer ones. (Unless they fall back into the same sleep cycle.)

          The only real way to get good sleep is to go to bed and get up around the same time. Set your alarm, see how you feel, and start working backwards (or forwards) until you feel freshed.

          For me, it's not possible, but a lot of people swear by it.

          I've heard that you shouldn't need an alarm. You'll wake up when you've had enough sleep, when not sleep deprived.
          For most this means going to bed earlier an earlier until you wake up naturally at the desired time.

          I find this true for myself. If I go to be around 10 PM, I will naturally wake about 5:50 am, give or take 10 mins.

            More fall to sleep than go to bed. Go to bed and lay there awake and then the alarm is at the wrong cycle.

            Right, you have to train yourself to be asleep within 5-10 minutes.

            My wife is so jealous of my ability to do this. I'm more like 1-2 mins and out.

                That's how I am. Only use alarms when catching a flight or something.

                      LOL, don't know, but quite a bit more than we normally get. Enough that they said if we slept in the radiation room every night, we'd not be at proper levels yet.

                      It's why radiation poisoning makes you healthier at first. People intentionally go places to expose themselves to radium for the health benefits.

                          Yeah, and the cycle depends on when you fall asleep, and what happens during the night. So even if you could set an alarm, it would rarely be right. And if you have to wake up to an alarm rather than naturally, doesn't that imply that your body knew that it was not ready?

                            Depends on sleep patterns.

                            You can be trained to wake up in the right cycle.

                              I could use a base tan 😄

                              Laura is so unbelievably afraid of radiation it's almost a phobia so that's a no go anyway

                              I used to work in the nuclear medical waste area of a hospital and in our training we learned that Americans do so much to shield themselves from radiation that it's become a health problem. Most Americans don't get a proper amount of radiation for maximum health.

                              Speaking to the choir on that one, at least around here. I wish I could remember the name of that movie about nuclear power. A banana has more natural radiation than a generation plant releases in a year. And a beach in Brazil has a natural level of around 12. It's very sad that we don't have a clue of where the point is that your health starts to deteriorate.

                                @StrongBad Morning! Idk why but I've been very tired lately. Same amount of sleep that I normally get.

                                Just because your sleeping the same amount of time, doesn't mean your body is getting the same type of sleep you need. I found a Zeo band on ebay about a year back, sadly the things aren't produced anymore. Great info on your sleep patterns. https://www.grc.com/zeo.htm

                                Hrm. That is a good idea. I should really analyze that and try to find a solution.

                                There is a lot of research about what sleep cycle to wake up in. It the same concept that says a 15-20 minute nap will actually leave you more refreshed than longer ones. (Unless they fall back into the same sleep cycle.)

                                The only real way to get good sleep is to go to bed and get up around the same time. Set your alarm, see how you feel, and start working backwards (or forwards) until you feel freshed.

                                For me, it's not possible, but a lot of people swear by it.

                                I've heard that you shouldn't need an alarm. You'll wake up when you've had enough sleep, when not sleep deprived.
                                For most this means going to bed earlier an earlier until you wake up naturally at the desired time.

                                I find this true for myself. If I go to be around 10 PM, I will naturally wake about 5:50 am, give or take 10 mins.

                                That's how I am. Only use alarms when catching a flight or something.

                                This is definitely easier when your schedule is nearly infinitely flexible.

                                  This actually seems pretty cool: https://www.amazon.com/S-ResMed-Personal-Sleep-Solution/dp/B00NP52QE0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486478635&sr=8-1&keywords=S%2B+by+ResMed

                                  "It uses sonar, and those ultrasonic pulses can see straight through blanket (and PJ's) to monitor the movement of your chest as your breathe your way through the different stages of sleep."

                                  Note that a San Diego, California based company, ResMed purchased Zeo's intellectual property. Sadly, ResMed produces another of the cannot possibly (and doesn't) work bedside sleep monitors, the S+. It bathes the sleeper in microwave radiation and uses the Doppler-shift in reflected microwaves to detect upper body motion and respiration. Aside from bathing its user in microwaves, which seems somewhat contradictory to health-promoting, and having no idea what's going on inside the sleeper's brain, thus being more wrong than right, it is confused by anyone else who might be sharing the same bed. No thanks.

                                  So...who wants to be cooked while they sleep?

                                  Laura is so unbelievably afraid of radiation it's almost a phobia so that's a no go anyway

                                  Exactly, we're so worried about skin cancer, etc.

                                  Was skin cancer a huge problem pre 1980's?

                                            It must be genetic... Cause my family in generations past were farmers as well. Nobody died of skin cancer.
