Hi all! Brian, creator of the Raw Data Library, here. You didn’t really think I’d create something with as much potential as the Raw Data Library and leave it at that, did you? Oh no, I’ve taken the RDL and used it to initiate a grand pet project of mine. Let me introduce you to [...]

When Zeo launched in 2009, you all started to tell us about what you expected. Specifically, you raised the issue of data privacy. You wanted control over your data and the ability to play with it, all without uploading to our servers. And the Comments Kept Rolling In We heard a lot from you in [...]

When you get a Zeo, you also get a Sleep Wheel, a little tool that shows one’s age-based range and average for ZQ, different sleep stages, and total sleep time. We specifically created the sleep wheel to help you contextualize all the data you see every morning; otherwise, it would all be just a bunch [...]

It seems these days that everyone knows something about ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Teachers swap stories about dealing with ADHD students, parents debate the pros and cons of medication, and health organizations like the National Sleep Foundation warn that people with ADHD are more likely to have sleep problems, such as an inability to [...]

A few weeks ago, we posted a clip sent to us from Zeo user Noel Hanna up on Mt Everest. If you haven’t watched it (or it’s been a while) check it out again: Did you notice his breathing? It was pretty quick and shallow, wouldn’t you agree? What’s likely going on here is that [...]

FYI: Zombieland was right. Columbus: Did you know that Sleep Deprivation is the number one problem in America? Wichita: I think it might be number two now. Tallahassee: (laughs) Number two… In this (and many other ways), Zombieland hit the nail (or Zombie?) on the head. The good news is that the world is finally [...]

Here at Zeo, we get frequent love notes on how comfortably Zeo measures brainwaves (aw, shucks). We also get frequent notes–often attached to the first one–requesting direct access to those brainwaves. Well, the wait is over. We’re done playing hard-to-get. Today, we’re proud to release an alpha version of the Zeo Raw Data Library! Where [...]

Polyphasic sleep refers to the practice of sleeping (or napping) multiple times during a 24hr period instead of getting all your sleep at once (a.k.a Monophasic sleep). We recently picked up on a fascinating post mentioning Zeo from the “Polyphasic Sleep” Google Group and asked the author, Oki, for this guest post as a way to launch [...]

The recent announcement that Mt Everest now has 3G wireless coverage certainly got many people talking, especially about the role of technology in connecting previously remote areas (I stumbled across a number of snide remarks to Verizon’s “Can you hear me now?” tag line). However, surprisingly little was said about how this relates to mountaineering, [...]

Didn’t we just do this? It feels like just yesterday that I was writing about how we can all fall back effectively or Derek@Zeo was warning us of the dangers of springing ahead. Time does fly… but lucky for us, we get two attempts at 2am this Saturday night/Sunday morning. And this year, we have [...]
