I was wondering if anyone has some feedback to offer on the Axbo waking system. There seems to be some very promising research backing this device up, but I would still like to hear from users before placing my order.
Official Axbo website, English version
The Axbo was mentioned briefly in some really old topics, but I thought it deserves a thread of its own.
Any input much appreciated!
Interesting product, I just read the specifications. What is attractive was the fact that you can map out your sleep cycle which could help you find the best time to practice WBTB or WILD.
One thing I didn't find in the literature however was the ability to wake you when you were in REM.
I just bought an aXbo and last night was my first trial of it. I'm lovin' it.
But I didn't buy it to wake during REMs. From my understanding it actually is meant to wake you after REM. It monitors your movements, so it won't wake you up when you're in the no-movement time. I bought it especially because I'm tired of being woken up in the middle of dreams by alarm clocks and hoping this one wouldn't.
Last night I set the alarm for 8 o'clock maximum and it woke me up at 7:43. I had just ended a dream and was somewhere on the limb between sleep and vigil.
Supposedly it gets better with time, after the clock learns my sleep cycle, but for first trial I was positively surprised, because it worked perfectly although my sleeping cycle is nothing short of unusual...
