sleeptracker elite watch Sleeptracker Elite

We do a lot of inconvenient things to improve our fitness. We schedule time during our day to work out, we take icky-tasting vitamins and we choose steamed veggies over French fries (most of the time, anyway). But there's one thing we should all do that will improve our fitness and is actually a total pleasure: sleep!

The Sleeptracker Elite sleep-monitoring watch is designed to help you get a great night's sleep, every night. It detects movements attributed to light sleep stages and tracks up to 12 hours of sleep per night, which you can then upload and analyze. Using that data, you can then begin to figure out what lifestyle choices affect your sleeping patterns. Did you sleep really well the night after a morning workout with a light dinner? Did you toss and turn when you exercised at 5 p.m. and then split a pizza with your friend?

In addition to the tracking capabilities, the Sleeptracker Elite offers all the features of a normal wristwatch, including an alarm that will gently wake you with an alarm, vibration or both. And this week, you have the chance to win one!

To enter, tell us what helps you fall asleep quickly.

What helps me to sleep faster is exercising about 1-2 hours before my bedtime

I have struggled with insomnia off and on for most of my adult life. This has been, in part, due to depression, and, more recently, menopausal symptoms like hot flashes. I have always been hesitant to use a sleep drug for fear of side effects and becoming addicted. I have tried a few natural remedies, but nothing seemed to make a difference. When I heard about OxySleep ( HTtp://bit.ly/OxySIeep ), I was first of all impressed with the fact that it has a simple line up of safe ingredients which don't interfere with any of the medications I take. When I take 2 capsules before bedtime, I find that I am much more relaxed and can fall asleep more quickly and easily. Also, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I am able to fall right back to sleep. And, I like the fact that I don't feel groggy in the morning. After taking the capsules for a few nights, I decided to try one night without it. When I didn't take OxySleep, I didn't sleep well at all! I could definitely tell a difference! The results are subtle, but effective. It's a relief to be able to take something that's safe and helps me get a good night's sleep.

Deep breathing helps me fall asleep. This watch looks great, especially since I have a sleeping disorder that leaves me super tired in the morning called cyclical arousal disorder. It may help me figure out why.

My new years resolution was to improve my sleeping habits!! I want this! :)

Melissa 2-28-2011 @ 11:11AM

Honestly, what helps me fall asleep quickly is being intimate w/ my husband ;-)

Tamara 2-28-2011 @ 3:54PM

I agree- this helps me fall asleep as well ;D

I like to read a few chapters of a good book. It relaxes me and gets me ready for a great night sleep! :)

I find that reading before bed helps me to sleep quicker.

Just relaxing and learning to breathe slowly does the trick for me!

auntiemm 2-28-2011 @ 12:32PM

Being relaxed and warm is my "get to sleep quick" trick!

What helps me fall asleep best is progressive relaxation exercise. Starting with tensing and then relaxing muscles of feet, then feet and calves, then feet, calves, thighs, etc. until the whole body has tensed and deeply relaxed.

The only thing that helps me fall asleep fast is Tylenol PM, so having a sleep tracker may help me work on sleeping without pills.

Lisa 2-28-2011 @ 12:00PM

Reading my book in bed.

Polly 2-28-2011 @ 12:39PM

I don't know. I have not had a good night's sleep in a very long time. :(

Cindy 2-28-2011 @ 12:59PM

I try to visualize a field in Canada where a DVD is filmed that is peaceful and beautiful. I imagine laying out in the field on my yoga mat, resting. Unfortunately I tend to have insomnia off and on due to medical conditions. So a watch would be helpful.

Having the tv on, puts me to sleep just about instantly.

Mayumi 2-28-2011 @ 1:03PM

My husband and I give & receive gentle back-rub with each other. It helps us sleep better :)

I fall asleep really quickly when I am putting my kids to bed! The trouble is, that's not when I NEED to go to sleep - I need to stay awake and finish stuff around the house. When I try to go to sleep again later in the evening it's not nearly as easy.
