I was considering buying this product, but I'm concerned about the safety of it, especially because there's a sensor around the head. Is it completely safe? Is there any research that you can show that has tested the safety of this product? Is it at all possible for there to be a link between this product (or the technology that it uses) and brain cancer? Please let me know! Thank you! Hi!

Amazing design! Some suggestions: I have woken from a dream and noticed that ZEO recorded light sleep at that moment. So obviously, ZEO missed that REM phase. Maybe there should be a calibration feature in zeo. The calibration feature individualizes the neural network of the zeo. Adding an accelerometer will detect motion and throw out motion artifacts. It will provide the zeo neural network with more data. Wonderful product! Amazing design!

We are have some crazy polyphasic sleepers use Zeo as well - http://blog.myzeo.com/sleeping-round-the-clock-a-polyphasic-experiment/ - they try to sleep in 4-5 naps across the day instead of once at night. They are yelling about our monophasic/sleep at night perspective too - and some of them have hacked ways to get at the data too. Thanks for your comments and Merry Christmas! James,

The fact that ZEO has not taken into consideration that people may have unusual sleep schedules makes me want to avoid purchasing a ZEO. On an unrelated topic, my CPAP also thinks that an end of day is at noon. I also use Outlook and it thinks an end of day is at midnight. I'm sure these issues and more frustrate anyone who works night shifts. Any relief of stress you can give us night shift works is greatly appreciated! Thanks, James I too am a night-shift worker.
