@athc23 Yes they are covered and cover many more aspects of sleep such as leg and facial movement, epileptic activity and snoring but the downside is people sleep differently when in an uncomfortable bed attached to a gazillion wires with a camera watching them. I this also provide long term data and charts that can be cross referenced to medication and lifestyle changes.

If the sleep fairy would slip into my bed, i’m sure after a little while I’d be getting one seriously good nights sleep

I don’t know if they’re covered by insurance, but I know people who go to sleep labs AND have a zeo. Sleep labs are expensive. Even if your insurance pays it won’t pay for more than a few days of monitoring. I know a guy who uses the zeo to fill in the spaces between sleep lab appointments. He loves it. I’m thinking of getting one.

Are sleep studies in traditional sleep labs covered by insurance? If not, is this alarm clock more effective?

Hi Charbax –
My name is Derek and I work for Zeo. One of Zeo’s features is called SmartWake, which does exactly what you suggest (well done!). The difference between Zeo’s SmartWake and wristwatch versions is that Zeo uses your sleep phases instead of movement.
Great question. Let us know if you have any other question on twitter (@Zeo) or facebook (/myzeo).

It would also be better and more confortable if the detector could be built-into the pillow.

They should do this: wake the user at the perfect time right after the end of a sleeping cycle. This way the user isn’t woken up in the middle of a sleeping cycle which makes the user more tired during the whole day. So for example, one should set the wake-up time as the latest point it should wake one up, but it may wake one up 20-30 minutes earlier if it calculates that it is healthier time to wakeup right before entering into another deep sleep phase.

Ahh, another great video
Seems quite interesting, but I’ve seen kind of wristband/clock that wakes you up when you have perfectly slept hmm.
