I just got a Fitbit and it's been tracking my sleep. It is LIFE CHANGING when you can actually see how many hours you slept and how good or bad your sleep was. I definitely need to invest in a light alarm clock and def need to be religious about the wind down phase.

One thing that works well for me is brushing my teeth right after my last meal, which is usually 2-4 hours or so before bed.

That's very true medically. Dad did that and with good genes lived to 99.

Am a natural night owl so tend to drift off the AM, night schedules; but a bit of promethazine, 10 mg. safely jolts me back into Day/night synch.

& treats the allergies too.

MAYBE But the question we psychs and medicos have to ask, is how do you know it's accurate and measures what it claims to do?

We are naturally skeptical of such claims. too much quackery and Nootropic stuff about. Frankly it'd take a lot of medical training and experience to be sure. And reddit frankly, is "ads gone bad" place, too.
