GiftGuy owns a Zeo, and his ZQ currently ranges between 57 and 79…

Here’s a great gadget for that person in your life that is hard to buy for and/or has trouble getting enough sleep. The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach is currently priced at $250, was developed with leading sleep scientists, and lets you track your sleep at home. The company that invented and sells the Zeo is offering a 30 Day Risk Free Trial…

The Zeo is a personal sleep monitor that you wear on on your forehead with a lightweight stretchy band.  The Zeo monitors your brain activity provides data about the quality of sleep that you are getting.

The Zeo is NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE!!!  It IS a cool gadget that can help you understand more about the quality of sleep you are getting when you make changes to your routine.  For example, you might see that you have an average ZQ score between 50 and 60 when you first start (if you do not typically get high-quality sleep), but you might make changes in your life in the following and see how your score improves:

• Exercise!!!
• Number of caffeinated drinks per day
• How close to bedtime you have caffeine
• Eating sweets
• How close you eat to bedtime
• Alcohol consumption
• How many pillows you use
• The firmness of your pillow(s)
• Lighting in your room (e.g. if your digital alarm clock faces you or faces away from you)
• What time you go to bed
• How close to bedtime you watch TV
• Tobacco/nicotine
• Reading before bed (for pleasure or for business)
• Etc. etc.

You can learn a lot more at the Zeo Website…
