But why would you want to send this information to someone else? If you desire such gadgets, it would be far cheaper to buy a timer for your light switch and/or coffee pot. <br /><br />Personally, I go to sleep better with a little noise in the background. (Keeps my mind a little occupied so I'm not thinking about what I need to accomplish tomorrow.). I set the 30 minute sleep timer on the TV and I rarely am awake to hear it turn off.<br /><br />The only benefit I can see for this product would be for home sleep studies for someone with sleep apnea or some other severe sleep issue for which they were seeking professional help.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-16630367800059157432015-01-30T09:03:49.936-08:002015-01-30T09:03:49.936-08:00Why should I have to turn out my own lights and st...Why should I have to turn out my own lights and start my own coffee? <br /><br />I deserve to have the most comfortable sleep climate! <br /><br />What's that?
