How? How does it track your time asleep?

Jilli asks what I was going to ask.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, my problem with the sleep is that if I put it on one setting, I'd have to believe I'm thrashing about all night and getting like, three hours sleep. But if I put it on the other setting it say I get ALL the sleep, when I know I've woken up in the night. So I haven't been using it for that, lately. Of course, mostly it's just been depressing me with how little I walk during the week. (weekends I'm usually good, unless it's a super lazy "I slept in late and didn't get dressed until 3pm and maybe didn't leave the house" sort of thig)

Yeah, my work from home days do a number on my stats.

What?? My boss's old job had a rule that you couldn't take a bunch of Fridays off. That seems so crazy! Have other people heard of such a thing?

I suppose if there are tasks that tend to fall on Friday it could be problematic. A few years ago my bosses let me burn off a huge amount of comp time by not working Fridays in the summer unless something urgently needed to be done.

I haven't seen a rule, but I've been places where it was discouraged to take your vacation time that way. I think it basically comes down to pettiness. Like you're getting away with something working four day weeks when everyone else has to work five! (And, you know, take two weeks off in the summer or whatever.)
