How Does It Work?

According to inventor Lee Loree, the SleepTracker monitors the many “almost awake” moments that you cycle through each night. These moments are elusive, usually lasting less than 20 seconds. During one of these waking windows, you may move around, sit up to look at the clock, then drift quickly back to sleep. You probably won’t even remember having been awake.

By monitoring your sleep cycles, the SleepTracker finds those perfect moments and gently wakes you when you’re most alert. The result? You wake up refreshed instead of groggy.

To use it, you just set the watch for the time that you want to get up. The SleepTracker will then awaken you during an “almost awake” moment within 30 minutes before that time.

Product Evaluation

I’ve tested the SleepTracker for over six months now. My conclusion? In short: It works.

I know this sounds strange, but it’s changed the quality of my waking life—especially my precious morning hours. My pilgrimage from bed to teapot to meditation cushion has been far more seamless and unruffled.

I like this device so much that I am reluctant to let anyone borrow it. Our other Sounds True test subjects reported similar efficacy (and want their own).

One unadvertised benefit that I discovered is that after using the SleepTracker at the same wake up time for about nine days, I began to wake up naturally BEFORE the alarm!

The SleepTracker is not perfect. Two of our other “guinea pigs” and I found that the watch worked exactly as expected about 9 out of 10 consecutive mornings. Thankfully, when the SleepTracker doesn’t find a perfect “almost awake” moment (about 1 out of 10 times), it will always sound off at your “target time” just in case.

Sounds True Verdict

The SleepTracker watch will be welcome by those who want to awaken each morning in a gentler, more refreshing way. Discovering higher levels of spiritual awakening, however, are totally up to you. ;)

THE BOTTOM LINE is that Sounds True gives a thumbs up to the SleepTracker—and if we see enough interest from you, we will recommend it in an upcoming catalog.
