Sleep monitor & bedside speaker for iPod, iPhone & iPad

It knows when you are asleep, can measure your sleep pattern and wakes you up at the lightest moment in your sleep cycle, so you feel more refreshed and alert.

A non-contact sensor within Renew SleepClock measures your breathing rates and movements. It's accurate, comfortable and reliable. Simply dock your iOS device and download the free app to begin sleep monitoring.

Use the app to monitor your sleep patterns each night and see how efficiently you are sleeping. You can review data daily, weekly and monthly and also compare against your age/sex.

So, how does it work?

The Gear4 Renew SleepClock works by measuring your body movement and breathing using a very-low power radio wave. The radio wave is transmitted by a sensor positioned behind the unit's front panel. It transmits the radio wave and then listens for the reflected signal from the surrounding environment. As you move, you create a small change in the reflected radio wave, and the detector inside the SleepClock is sufficiently sensitive to determine that change. In general, the more you move, the bigger the change in the reflected signal.

The changes in reflection are then fed to a software programme which analyses the patterns of change to determine whether you are likely to be awake or asleep. In quiet sleep (or deep sleep) it is likely that most of the change is associated with simply your breathing patterns; by looking at the breathing pattern we can then determine if a person is in deep sleep.

The sensor is also designed so that it only responds to changes which are caused by objects closer than 5 feet away (in other words if someone opens the door on the far side of the room, that will not be detected). However, if you sleep with pets or children who might be lying on or near you, their signal can be mixed in with yours. However, for a standard double bed with two adults sleeping on separate sides, there is minimal signal picked up from the second person due to the designed range of the sensor.
