How did you sleep last night?

A single night of restorative, healthful sleep can make a difference in what you see in the mirror, notice in your mood and experience in productivity. Sleep is essential for the body and mind. It contributes to your overall health and well-being just like good nutrition and regular exercise. Sleep helps to restore our bodies, strengthen our minds, improve our mood and enhance our appearance and vitality. But sleep is tricky. So many things during the day and night can affect it, including what you eat and drink, what you worry about, your level of activity and even your routine before bed. Zeo is a new kind of educational tool and motivational program that helps you understand how you are sleeping, reveals habits and behaviors that may be helping or hindering your sleep, and teaches new ways that may help you get a better nights rest.
Zeo. The more you know, the better you sleep.

Sleep science and Zeo

Understanding the phases of sleep and why you need its restorative benets will help you get the most from Zeo.
Sleep is a dynamic activity with distinct and orderly levels of activity.
You might think of sleep as downtime, but your body and mind are actually quite active during sleep. There are distinct levels of activity and sleep patterns that relate to different depths of sleep, or sleep phases: Wake, REM, Light, and Deep sleep. Light sleep: A time for accumulating more overall sleep, Light sleep is signicant because getting more sleep is the best way to get the right mix of sleep you need to feel rested. Deep sleep: A time for physical restoration and growth, Deep sleep is when the body produces growth hormone for restoring muscle and building immunity. For more information on sleep and sleep stages, visit the Sleep Information Center at www.myzeo.com/SleepInfoCenter Scientists discovered that each sleep phase has different benets for the body and mind.

Sleep helps the mind and body recover from the wear and tear of the day, and promotes learning and memory.
Ken Wright, PhD. Director of the Division of the Sleep and Chronobiology Lab at the University of Colorado

Sleep requires both the right mix and amount to be restorative.

Deep sleep and REM sleep are the foundation of restorative, healthful sleep. Deep sleep naturally occurs more in the early parts of the night. REM sleep naturally occurs more in the morning. So if youre going to bed too late, or getting up too early, you may be compromising sleep quality.

About your sleep phases:

Wake: The length of time you were awake when you were trying to sleep. Some awakenings you wont remember. REM sleep: A time for vivid dreaming, REM sleep is considered essential for mental well-being and organizing memories to better remember and apply what you learn.

Zeo measures your unique sleep patterns.
Scientically-demonstrated for accuracy, the Zeo Headband uses SoftWave sensor technology to safely measure your unique sleep patterns through the electrical signals naturally produced by the brain. As you slip from lighter to deeper phases of sleep and back again, the Zeo Headband and Bedside Display work together to wirelessly track and store information on how you are sleeping. Zeo does not alter your sleep in any way.

The Zeo sleep graph

Throughout the night, the Zeo Bedside Display collects your personal sleep patterns and organizes them into a sleep graph. Time increases from left to right, while the type of sleep is indicated by the height of the bars. 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.

Wake with Zeo

With Zeo at your bedside, not only will you learn about sleep, but you can wake up more pleasantly. Zeo replaces your alarm clock, if you choose, and offers a variety of tones and two wake options.
1. Standard wake
The standard wake works like a typical alarm. Choose from ve tones unique to Zeo, which each begin with a murmur and increase in volume and intensity as necessary to awaken you. Note: If you typically like to sleep until the minute your alarm rings or if you like to snooze, you should choose standard wake.

Discovering sleep inertia

Forty years ago, the US Air Force and NASA tested the ability of pilots sleeping in the cockpit to wake up and immediately take ight. They found that even the most expert pilots made inexplicable errors. Scientists discovered that the mistakes were caused by the extreme grogginess of waking from Deep sleep. This impaired ability to transition from sleep to wakefulness was named sleep inertia. And the more sleep deprived an individual is, the greater the effects and duration of sleep inertia. This scientic discovery is the basis
W R L D

2. SmartWake
The SmartWake feature puts the technology of the SoftWave sensors to work searching for what could be a natural awakening point when it could be a little easier to get out of bed in the morning. Zeo will look for a moment when you transition into and out of REM sleep when the brain is highly active. When SmartWake is selected, Zeo will wake you within the half hour before the time you set for wake-up. Zeo will never wake you later than the time set.

Reap the rewards of a good nights sleep

So now you know Zeo. You have a better understanding of the sleep science at its foundation. And youre ready to use Zeo to make some fascinating discoveries about how you really sleep.
Its widely accepted that people who consistently get the sleep they need are more apt to feel alert, perform better and be safer. Indeed, the rewards of sleeping better include having more creativity and energy, a better mood and memory, and faster reaction time. Zeo coaches you to make the connection between how you live and how you sleep. Changes you choose to make could help you get a better nights sleep, an essential building block for a better day.

Lets review what a day with Zeo might look like.

A gentle song from Zeo invites you to awaken and start your day. A glance at the Zeo Bedside Display shows a ZQ of 56, higher than when you rst started using Zeo but 12 points lower than usual. You wonder why. Scrolling through your sleep information for last night, you see you were awake for 48 minutes and immediately understand that all that wake time disrupted the quality of your sleep and lowered your ZQ. You upload your sleep data to myZeo and ll out the Sleep Journal in just a few a minutes. Still online, you review your sleep trends to see if you can make the connection between higher and lower ZQ and the activities of your life. Here is where the power of understanding these links can really make a difference. In todays sleep coaching email, you learn about how yesterdays stress at work may have kept you up. It then provides a relaxation tool to try tonight to see how it impacts your sleep.

Zeo. The more you know, the better you sleep.
