Not content with taking over our every waking hour, Apple is coming for us while we snooze

NOT content with being the centre of our attention during waking hours, Apple has set its sights on our sleep too.

It has snapped up sleep tracking company called Beddit, which tracks snoring and disrupted sleep.

Beddit claims to improve your sleep using a monitor which can sense your movement.

The app is connected to a strap you place on top of your mattress and detects breathing, temperature and noise.

Snorers will be in for a rude awakening as the app tells you exactly how much grunting is going on during twilight hours.

It’s a vital purchase for Apple, which doesn’t have a sleep tracking function on its Watch yet, unlike rivals Fitbit or Jawbone.

Beddit’s app already works with iPhones – but the two reviews on the Apple store are far from glowing.

One disgruntled customer wrote: “Completely inaccurate and stopped working completely with iPhone 7.

“Same problem as others. Inaccurate readings (saying I was getting less than two hours sleep a night), manufacturer never got back to me with my requests for help and refuses to connect to iPhone 7 at all.”

Another added: “Worked well for a month, then deteriorated quickly. First it started saying things like it took me eight minutes to fall asleep and immediately after falling asleep I left my bed for an hour and a half.

How does Beddit technology work?

The technology is based upon a scientific principle known as ballistocardiography (BCG), a non-invasive technique for measuring the mechanical activity of the heart, lungs and other body functions.

Each time the heart beats, the acceleration of blood through the circulatory system generates a mechanical impulse that can be measured and analyzed.

Throughout the night, Beddit tracks each individual heartbeat and respiration cycle, or breath.

Beddit’s advanced analysis and machine-learning algorithms adapt differently to each body type and provide detailed sleep data, according to its website.

“To put this in perspective, I have a single bed and there isn’t a feasible way for me to sleep on it without being over the sensor!

“Then it started saying that id snore 95 percent of the night one night and 0% the next, heart rate graph shows just one point for an entire eight hours of sleep.”

Beddit costs £129.95 and already syncs up to the Apple Health app.

Apple hasn’t confirmed whether there will be a branded sleep monitor coming to our beds anytime soon.

But its known to absorb companies into their own brand, often using their technology to improve products they already have on the market.
