how useful is the sleep monitor? i assume that most people won't change how they sleep just because of a monitor, right?

I feel like is wasn't accurate at all. I would go to bed at 12-7.. It was saying I was only getting 31/2 hours of restful sleep and 4 hours total sleep. I didn't agree.

I'm still working on that. Misfit should give more information on that. For example: if you sleep 8 hours is 4 hours of deep sleep pretty normal? That's approximately what I get. Misfit needs to improve the software. I turned on the wake up alarm out of curiousity and now am searching for a way to turn it off so it doesn't ring again the next day. I suppose if you clock 2 hours or less of deep sleep that should be investigated. Remember Misfit only reads motion. Maybe a person who turns a lot while sleeping is okay even though this will give him/her low hours of deep sleep. Worth researching how much REM sleep we need.

Well there is no ON or OFF button so the monitor goes into a sleep mode when there is no video feed. It still may consume power while in sleep mode but not much. Another way to turn it off is to isolate it from the power source. I hope this helped.

There's no problem with running the device 24/7. I've done it for about a month and have had no problems. Just set your monitor to sleep when you're not using the computer.

To be honest, I'm too sure. I always make sure to turn off my screen before I close the case up. I know you have to go into you settings and accessories to turn on that feature but I don't think this product triggers auto sleep.

Not necessarily...the way it works is that the monitor goes on "sleep" mode, and when it hears a sound from the child, it turns back on...the screen and the sound. So it will stay off as long as the child is quiet.

The sleep functions only when u activate it, no it isn't a one time set up. Unfortunately every time u use the sleep function u have to remember to set it, then again the functions isn't always used and it would a pain in the ass. Think about it every time u listened to music it would go turn itself all the time once it reached the time set for right? Hope I was able to answer ur question.

D. Rein, I am debating purchasing one of these. I've really gotten into workout dvds and I'm tracking my calories without much success on my scale. I am hoping one of these can help me adjust my workout/eating to reach my goals. Which do you think would be better for me? I work a desk job so most of my day is sedentary. I'm also continuously tired and am excited to have something that tracks my sleep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I always have the sound machine on when baby is asleep. Because I can hear the sound machine via the monitor, I know the monitor is working. I can still hear the slightest noise baby makes.

Yep. I use that feature every night. Once you set the sleep timer though, don't touch other buttons. If you set it and then mess with volume or whatever, the alarm might go off because the other buttons seem to change the sleep timer over to an alarm instead. Just hit play and then press the alarm button twice and it will be a 30 min sleep timer. Not truly sure if it's random but it does play different songs every night. It just might be in order, not random.

Yes it does. There are 4 different reports that it can generate. I generated the reports from several days for my Sleep Doc and he very much appreciated them. One of the days I was using another PulseOx monitor, and the results from this device were much cleaner than from the monitor.

I always have the sound machine on when baby is in bed to sleep and I am using the monitor. There is no way one could confuse the baby's noises with the background whir of the sound machine.

It should still provide power to the mouse while in sleep mode. As long as your computer itself is turned off, it is powering the USB ports, even though your monitor may be dark. The computer itself is still "on."

You will have to lift the monitor on and eff each time. I just keep it at a comfortable standing height and keep a bar stool close by to sit on and still maintain my eye level. If you want something that more easy to switch several times a day, you will haev to get a push button operated one, that be more expensive.

I was an Indiegogo backer of Beddit and as of now I would recommend you save your money. I paid $100 for something that tells me when I went to bed and when I woke up? Really? So far that's all the information I get. Well, I do get an average heartrate during the entire night. Not sure how I would use that information. Unless it registered zero, then I might take some action. Beddit has a LOT of work to do on this.

It is designed to work with Media Center. And it can act as a pointer (mouse) so it can be used to turn off the computer (as you would with a mouse) but it cannot turn on a off computer. In my case, it can awake a sleep computer, but not a hibernating computer.

The display doesn't tell you anything about your sleep, but it does all of the rest. I would recommend writing out your own nutritional assesment for about 3 days to see the average amount of calories you take in. After that you can set your own "mental" goal of how many calories you would like to burn in a day. The subscription was good for changing your goals because they were also uploaded to your armband and you would get alerts from your display when targets were met. If you can somehow get a free trial membership or even pay for one month to go online and really set your goals and targets, I think it would be beneficial. It is rewarding to get that instant feedback when you meet your calorie goal for the day. But to answer your question, yes you could do without the subscription. Keep in mind that you will have to write your info down at least every two days because although the display holds several days of info, without the subscription you can only view the previous day's info in addition to the present day.

did it just go off until you woke up? Might help to put a baby monitor in your room and his so you can assist for a bit.
