Sleep is important, very important to people. If you sleep too much or too little, you know about it the next day. Yet, how much do you know about your sleep and how what you do in the day affects how your body recharges? Probably not much, beyond common knowledge like alcohol, caffeine and doing too much or too little activity affects how a person sleeps. The OURA is a ring that monitors you during the day and as you sleep to give you information on what makes your sleep better or worse.

People don’t sleep much anymore. There have been many studies that show this, as well as those that claim we sleep too much regardless of the number of hours. Maybe the problem isn’t the amount we sleep, but the quality of the zzz’s we are getting. An issue that Sense wants to correct.

Sense is a gadget currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. It is a two-piece device. One is a sphere that monitors the environment for movement, sound, light and other elements, provides white noise or sounds on request, and functions as an alarm. The second is a tiny “pill” that clips onto your pillow to monitor your own movement through the night, and when you slip in and out of REM.
