How? How does it track your time asleep?

...magic?

It's got a 3D motion sensor. I guess if you stare at the ceiling and don't twitch a muscle while you're trying to fall asleep, it may not track your time asleep that accurately.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

-t, YES, I plotzed over that tee a day or so ago!!! And I burbled and dragged DH to the computer, hollering "Want, take, have! Birthday in two months! Me, me, me!"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jennifer Love Hewitt is on Conan talking about vajazzling.

I had forgotten that was a THING. She brought out one of the stickers she uses. It was a sparkly peace sign. She said a lot of women do it.

I do not do it. Can't imagine doing it. But my feet aren't yet summer ready.

I think if I vajazzled, my DH would experience instant boner-loss from laughing so hard.

but what if you move around in your sleep?

Jilli asks what I was going to ask.

Yeah, no good for me then. I mean, I am *trying* to fall asleep after all, so usually lying there pretty quiet. But I turn in bed a lot, whether I'm asleep or awake.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would assume that the developers (if they are worth their salt) programmed it to deal with people's actual physical movement patterns while sleeping, rather than assuming that people lie still. I could be wrong, of course, because I sometimes forget how stupid people can be.

I may be overly cynical at the moment.

I'm reading an article for a class project. It was assigned by a faculty member. It is not...good. Like, I am making grammatical marks (and that's ignoring the nigh-unreadable style). I was hoping that it had been written by a student. Looks like not so much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think that's kinda the point, that if you're tossing a lot in your sleep, you're not getting deep sleep, maybe? When it fails for me is when I lie still reading before falling asleep, but once asleep, it's pretty accurate. I can set its (my app) sensitivity to calibrate it to how I move.

You have a point.

eh, I'm not a good sleeper.

I envy my husband. Sleeping is his superpower.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sleep Cycle on the iPhone is similar to Electric Sleep, sounds like. It gives me a little depth of sleep vs time graph, which I like.
