Gadgets surround us throughout our waking hours, and now they're coming to our sleep.
Through devices worn on the wrist or under a pillow, several companies offer services that track how you sleep and—if the marketing is to be believed—analyze the data to help you get a better night's rest.
On Thursday at the Demo conference in Silicon Valley, a new hopeful will present its sleep analysis system and launch a Kickstarter appeal to get it funded.
The device, called Bed Scales, consists of four to six sensors that sit under the legs of a bed and collect data on the sleeper's movements during the night. By sensing the amount of movement, the system can estimate the user's sleep cycle and, hopefully, wake them during a period of light sleep when they are more likely to feel refreshed rather than groggy. It also measures your weight change while you're sleeping.
