Eight Sleep Mattress
This smart bed claims to track over 15 factors about your sleep. It monitors everything from your REM sleep to your deep sleep to your breathing and heart rate. Connect it to your smart home so your Nest thermostat can cool the house down when you're sleeping hot or your alarm will go off when you're in a light sleep, supposedly making it easier for you to wake up. You can even pair your smart lights with your sleep schedule. And when you're awake, ask Alexa to tell you how you slept. Now, when will that artificial intelligence be able to program us some sweet dreams?
What could happen if something goes wrong?
Any bed that monitors your heart rate, breathing, and movement could allow people with access to that data to determine when you get up in the morning, when you go to bed at night, or even when and how often you have sex.
