Post Screenshots Of Your Results

English

I thought it would be cool to have a place where we can continually post screenshots of our nightly/weekly results. I am always fascinated when I see people talking about not getting more than 30 min of REM or the fact that I seem to get 30 min or less per night of deep sleep, which is uncommon.
 

So, sign up for imageshack or photobucket and posts some screenshots so we can all marvel at how poorly or how well you sleep/dream ;)

I will post some interesting trends of my own sleep in a proceeding post. For now, here is last night:

Here is a graphic all of the weeks I've used Zeo.  If you look closely you can see I've improved my score over the last couple of weeks, pretty drastically.  And my REM numbers are pretty awesome.  I guess you can tell I prefer the dream world to the real world.

Here is a typical night for me. I am a 35yr/old male in Southern Ca. I vigorously exercise 5 days a week. It looks like I have good deep sleep but I always have the small orange spike right at the end of my first group of deep sleep segments. Anyone else have this? Any insight into a cause???

Post yours! It will be really interesting to see how they compare…

I'm 37, and in L.A., btw.  Relatively fit, relatively normal ;)

 

Do you get over 2 hours of deep on a regular basis, brillo? I normally average around 40 minutes, which feels SERIOUSLY lacking.  I've recently spiked up a few days for over an hour, but I'm really curious how common 2 hours or more a night is.

 

(Too bad this forum doesn't have more traffic at this point so we could compare graphics with more people. Hopefully people will contribute more in the future.)

Nice to meet you. 40mins average does seem a little low. Do you feel better through the day as a result of the recent nights of over an hour deep sleep? What factors seem to correlate to these nights?

 

I average just shy of 2hrs/night for deep sleep. I notice for me it seems correlated with hard exercise (for example, the day I posted I had 2 hard workouts, weights & cycling and had over 2hrs deep sleep).

 

A trick I learned when I was a full-time athlete was to take a hot shower just before bed and then sleep in a cold room (70degrees max). Someone at the Australian Institue of Sport had the Aussie athletes doing this, so Ive done it ever since. I think the temperature queues help launch your body into the deep sleep state. 

Hey guys-- thought I'd add to the comparison with my two cents. I'm a 31-yr old male in NY, and my first night with Zeo resulted in the following results:

 

Here's mine from my second night using Zeo. A bit...chaotic, I know. Early days.

Sleep

I sleep like a dead person, never remember dreams, typically sleep through all five alarms in the morning without hitting snooze and am mildly interested in the science of sleep. The Zeo unit is very interesting to me. It seems pretty accurate as near as I can tell.

I always wake feeling terrible regardless the amount of sleep. I am generally if not always irritable and have trouble with "normal" brain function for the first hour at least.

Hi there. First, you should be able to enter the same link you posted above into the "Insert/Edit Image" dialogue box and it should work. See the image below for details. You will see the image appear right away, before you submit the post.

Anyway, your sleep graph looks very normal. I can't imagine why you aren't feeling refreshed in the morning. I would definitely look to daytime environmental factors. Is your occupation very manual/physical? Do you ingest or inhale any pollutants or toxins? Do you experience lots of stress? How's your diet? I suggest maybe getting some stereo headphones (not earbuds) and listening to binaural beats or some relaxation audios at bedtime. I wonder if you are entering sleep in a tense state. These are just some thoughts. I feel for you. Good luck.

Steve the sleep scientist at Zeo says it's uncommon to go directly from deep sleep to REM sleep without passing through light sleep. Also, you are supposed to get more deep sleep early in the night and more REM later. I break most of these rules, and also never get more than 10% deep sleep in a night. But, I consider myself a "Sleep Jedi", in that I sleep well and feel great almost without exception. It doesn't matter if I am at home in my bed, on the couch, or in a hotel.

Hypnogram

I think I suffer from sleep apneoa, and I've been imagining that I need to get more deep sleep, but I actually sleep around 1.45 in deep sleep per night already. What kind of lifestyle do you lead to get this kind of pattern? Do you eat/drink/take anything special? Would like to know more if possible?

I like the idea of being a 'sleep jedi': do you do any meditation? 

 

Here's my graph btw: I want to stop waking up in the middle of the night!

Okay, I'd like to play along. I've signed up for my Photobucket account - but how do you get those screenshots in the first place?

I figured it out. Here ya go:
