Rise and shine! For breakfast, I had a leftover pancake, microwaved egg (a little experiment that worked out quite well!) and summery raspberries. Plus coffee!
How did you guys sleep last night? I have a new product to tell you about that tracks your health while you sleep!
There’s something kind of strange and exciting about getting a report about what your body was doing while you were asleep! EarlySense Live sent me their new Live Health & Sleep Monitor that you don’t have to wear — it goes right under your mattress while you sleep. The extra sensitive monitor measures your heart rate, breathing, stress levels, and sleep cycles all night long and sends you a detailed report via its app in the morning.
I find this all so interesting! Note that I was reading in bed for about 15 minutes before I fell asleep, so that alters my Total Sleep Time and Time to Fall Asleep just a bit. I am glad I was out of bed 0 times during the night! It would have been eerie if it said 3 and you didn’t remember getting up! I think overall it looks like I have pretty good sleep cycles. My heart rate and breathing looked good too. I am curious to see how these change based on activity, alcohol, big meals, sickness or other factors. The app allows you to take notes on lifestyle factors so you can track trends. You can also set this up for remote monitoring for an additional monthly fee, so if you have a child or an older person who you are monitoring, the reports and night alerts can bring peace of mind. This sensor is ideal for anyone who has the need to track sleep-related health.
Thanks to EarlySense Live for sponsoring this post.

Woah, so many sleep technology devices coming out! This one sounds really cool, but sometimes I don’t want to know how I’m sleeping. It will totally effect my mindset for the day! I’ve been loving summer raspberries, too!
KathEats says
I hear you on that!
Kelli @ Hungry Hobby says
That’s pretty cool! Love that it is remote!

Hey! Can you give the details on the micro-egg? Just curious – always looking for tasty/speedy breakfast tips!
KathEats says
I cracked it into a little bowl, gave it a stir with salt and pepper, and microwaved (watching very carefully!) for 30 seconds and then 10 second intervals until it was cooked through.

OMG, Kath! That’s such a cool idea. My fitbit tracks sleep, but I can’t remember the last time I got that much, lol. Even on the weekends, I feel like I’m go-go-go (and my dog must not be as nice as Gus!). Does your Apple Watch track sleep? Did you find the two compatible?
Also, I saw some very exciting news on your insta story yesterday! Wedding planning is going so fast!
KathEats says
I am not sure if the Apple Watch has sleep apps, I’m sure it does! But I don’t think I’d want to wear it all night.
and yes – so exciting! Wedding post updates tomorrow : )
Linda @ The Fitty says
Which fitbit do you own? I have the surge!
Jenny says
How does it measure stress levels?
KathEats says
I’m not entirely sure, but I think it’s a combo of heart rate and breathing changing.
Suzanne Holt says
These machines are crazy! It’s now officially on my bucket list to get one. And yes, good thing times-out-of-bed was 0!
Pam B says
Hi Kath!!! My two dogs sleep with me, so would this device pick up on their heartbeats too??? Just wondering. Have a great day, hugs!!!
KathEats says
I think they would have to be lying above the sensor! You place it under your shoulders. You can use it if you have a partner on the other side, but I don’t know about dogs.
Pam B says
OK, something to think about. Thanks!!!
Jessica says
This is amazing. I’m jealous you get so much sleep. I live in Germany where we don’t have air conditioning and it makes sleeping really difficult. I’d be a little afraid to learn my sleep info. Looks like a great product. Congrats on the upcoming wedding, btw! Jessica | www.roomforgelato.com

marti @fitwithheart says

Katie says
Wow this looks interesting! I can’t believe you manage to sleep from 9:30/9:45 to almost 8am! Jealous over here!!!
Christina says
So jealous of the amount of sleep you get! My internal clock is soooooo early!! ?
