Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker Review

In this day and age, too many people are getting too little sleep. As we all know, getting the right amount of sleep is extremely important for one’s health. It keeps you alert, gives you energy for the day, and even promotes and overall feeling of wellness. Studies have shown that sleeping well has an astounding array of benefits, from improving grades and creativity, to even extending life expectancy! Yet, we consistently undervalue something that is so easy to do.

The worst part about our society’s lack of sleep is that children in particular are catching less and less Zs. By some estimates, up to 1 in every 4 children is not getting enough sleep. In most cases, their parents are not even aware.

Some studies suggest that even 30 minutes less sleep in school children can have a negative impact on their grades. Given the importance of a good night’s sleep, any parent would surely like to know whether their child is sleeping at night or playing on their iPad. This is where the Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracking System comes in.

First Look

The Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker is a sleep tracking device that debuted at the global electronics and consumer technology trade show CES in 2015. It’s designed to help both you and your family develop better sleeping habits while also monitoring your home’s air quality. This is a sleep monitor with the whole family’s best interest in mind.

Design

The Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracking System has a design that we love, and your kids will probably love too. It comes with a central hub called the hugOne base monitor and two small battery-powered sensors called mini hugs. The hugOne is a sleek-looking sensor that you can easily place anywhere in your household, including high volume areas like the living room or entryway.

Its design is modest yet inviting, with a luminous ring on the top and a soft, colored glow on the bottom. The hugOne monitors your home’s air quality, illuminating the top ring when your air requires attention. You can also program the hugOne with your customized sleep schedule, and it monitors each of the mini hugs in your house. Once you program a bedtime, the bottom portion of the hugOne produces a colorful glow to let you know it’s time for bed.

Each of the mini hugs are pleasantly designed as well. They are tiny white squares that will go unnoticed tucked under the sheets on the corner of your or your child’s bed. The mini hugs also glow in response to the individual’s sleep patterns, and come in a variety of colors so everyone can have their own. You can purchase up to 4 additional mini hugs in different colors and styles depending on the size of your family. Overall, the Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracking System has a modern, inviting design that the whole family will love.

How it Works

There are a range of sleep trackers on the market, some of which can be confusing to use and difficult to understand. The Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracking System is eloquently simple. You start by downloading the Sevenhugs app, which will allow you to track and personalize your family’s sleep patterns over time. Next, you program the hugOne to glow at bedtime – whatever time suits your family.

It will then light up every night to notify you that it’s time to go to sleep. Next you place the mini hugs under your bedsheet in the corner.

The final step is easy – sleep! The mini hugs will monitor your family’s sleeping patterns using algorithms that enable them to determine when you and your family members are sleeping, and identify how long you spend in each sleep cycle

Sleep cycles are very important. There are 5 different stages of your sleep cycle, each lasting around 90 minutes. The first 4 cycles are you non-REM or NREM sleep. It is during NREM that you drift off and slowly pass into your deepest sleep.

Stage 5 is REM sleep, where most of your dreaming takes place. It’s the last cycle before you wake up. This is why you often wake up in the middle of a dream, or feel as though you were only just dreaming.

Have you ever noticed how some mornings you wake up and can’t seem to get your mind out of snooze mode? That is probably because you awoke during a deep sleep cycle, which is actually harmful to your overall sleep quality and health. The mini hugs and hugOne work together to learn your sleep cycle and ensure that you wake up in the morning during the proper sleep stage.

Ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed? That’s because there are good ways to wake up as well as bad ones. Studies have shown that being woken suddenly, such as the case with alarm clocks, is harmful because it inevitably disrupts whatever cycle of sleep you were in.

It is much better to wake up naturally in response to light so your body is able to gracefully rise from your sleep cycle. This is why the Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker is designed to connect to your smart home and gradually increase the lighting when it’s time to rise and shine. This feature is automatically customized to the room of each member of your family.

Features

Although it seems simple in nature, the Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker has a lot of advanced functionality. Its most admirable feature is how automated it is; it’s literally as simple as sleeping. The whole system will do all the work for you.

Beyond the advanced sleep tracking methods we already covered, it comes with a number of other useful functions that the whole family will benefit from. The mini hugs send signals to the hugOne as your child falls asleep, but once they are sleeping, the monitor will only record data. This gives the minihugs incredible battery life. They can last up to 6 months with proper use. The app will tell you when the battery is low, and changing it is simple.

The Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker is not just a sleep tracker. It will even monitor your home’s indoor air quality, temperature and humidity. It uses an advanced Volatile Organic Compound sensor to monitor air quality and alerts you when the air quality requires attention. By working with your thermostat, the hugOne will adjust the temperature and humidity in every room in response to each person’s sleep cycle to further improve their sleep.

All of this information is tracked with the app, which can offer suggestions based on your family’s sleeping patterns over time. With the Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker, there is so much more than meets the eye.

Why Does It Stand Out from Other Sleep Trackers?

There are a few key reasons that the hugOne stands out from the competition. The first reason is that it is the only sleep tracker specifically targeted to families. The founders all have children themselves, and designed the product with family health and well-being as the first priority. You can have peace of mind knowing that your children are getting the sleep they need, and the corresponding app will help you continuously improve your family’s sleeping patterns so everyone benefits.

The second reason is its multi-functionality. The hugOne isn’t just tracking your sleep, it’s also monitoring all of the environmental variables that can affect your sleep. Instead of just identifying problems, it’s actively working to make your sleep more restful.

Third, unlike so many sleep trackers, there is no need to wear any electronics while you are asleep. You don’t have to worry about charging or synchronizing anything. The Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker takes care of everything, so you can focus on what’s important – your family.

Is the Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracking System Right for Me?

There are other sleep trackers on the market with vastly different styles and functions, so it can be difficult to pin down which is right for you.

The Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker is absolutely the best sleep tracker for families. It is the only sleep tracker designed specifically for families, is incredibly easy to use, multi-functional, and very non-invasive.

But the beauty of the Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker is that it can benefit anyone. The Sevenhugs hugOne Sleep Tracker makes it easy for anyone to consistently achieve a better sleep, whether you’re a household of one or of six.

Despite all of these benefits, the HugOne is not really any more expensive than competing products. Normally we recommend that people only buy into these high end sleep trackers unless they truly have a need for the advanced functionality. But when it comes to the hugOne, there really is nothing to lose.
