Wakemate

I'm not exactly what you call an impulsive shopper. In fact, most often than not, I would shop around, read reviews, make comparisons before I made a final purchase. However, I kinda bucked the trend today. I'm not sure why I did it, but I just had to get this.

Basically this little thing here tracks your sleep to wake you at the optimal time and collects data that can tell you how to improve your sleep quality. I always had trouble sleeping well at night. On average, I sleep only 4-5 hours on weekdays. No matter how tired I am during the day, I can't fall asleep until around 2-3am every night, and I get up for work at about 7am, dead tired. Although this thing is not gng to help me sleep at night, if it makes me less tired, its well worth the money. Not to mention I'm a sucker for statistics and data. I track my spending habits, my investments, my income, my workouts and being able to track my sleep somehow feels perversely exciting. Not sure if it really works, since its a pre-launch and there's no reviews.

Can't wait to get my hands on it. :)
