Many scientists and educators have already found uses for Zeo and SoftWave™ technology in research projects and in the classroom. Some of the resulting research has been published:

• Drake C, Gumenyuk V, Jefferson C, Kick A, Coaker M, Roth T. Extending time in bed in short sleepers: effects on objective sleep parameters measured in the home. Sleep 2010;33 (Suppl.):A113. Abstract 0322. [Download Abstract]
• Drake C, Jefferson C, Kick A, Roth T. The effects of caffeine given 0, 3, or 6 hours before bed on objective sleep parameters measured in the home. Sleep 2010;33 (Suppl.):A107. Abstract 0306. [Download Abstract]

Two abstracts from Chris Drake's group at the Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan report on novel data that indicate that ZQ (Zeo's single number summary of a night of sleep) is sensitive to the positive effects of sleep extension, as well as the negative effects of caffeine use close to bedtime. Both abstracts presented as talks in June 2010 at the 24th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.

• Maas JB, Fabregas SE, Kopynec RM, Haswell DR, Fortgang RG, Shambroom J. Putting sleep to the test: a collegiate sleep study. Sleep 2010;33 (Suppl.):A77. Astract 0221. [Download Abstract]

As a part of the largest objective measurement study of student sleep in their home environments, these data (from Cornell University) show the power of using objective measurements for sleep in addition to a sleep habits focused intervention for increasing total sleep time in a student population. This was presented as a poster in June 2010 at the 24th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.

In addition to these research studies, Zeo has been used for education in college and university classrooms such as Brown University in Providence, RI, and Stonehill College in Easton, MA.
