Glossary
Total Z (total sleep time) - How long you really slept last night.
Time to Z (time to fall asleep) How long it took you to fall asleep. Zeo measures this from the
moment you put on the headband till the moment you fall asleep and stay asleep for 10 minutes.

Whats your ZQ?

ZQ A single score that represents the quantity and
quality of your sleep. There is no optimal ZQ, but
check out the Sleep Wheel to see what the typical ZQ
is for your age.

The Zeo Sleep Graph

Note: Zeo is not intended for the diagnosis or treatment of sleep disorders including apnea. If you
suspect that you may have a sleep disorder, consult your physician.

Each night, Zeo visually displays your sleep patterns

in a graph. Time advances from left to right, while the
type of sleep is indicated by the height of the bars.

disruptions that last two minutes or more. You may not remember all the ones Zeo records.

night and takes place between the other phases and wakefulness.

refreshed, as well as for growing and immunity.

Signal dropout

Data is displayed in 5 minute average increments. For a closer look at your data, upload it to your
myZeo account.
Empty sections on the screen indicate a signal dropout, which can be caused by poor signal, not
wearing the headband properly, having it fall off, not being within the wireless range, an expired
sensor pad, or low battery power.
