OK, I admit it - I DO sleep with my iPhone (Sleep Cycle)
Tags: iPhone
I can admit it now - I actually do sleep with my iPhone. I didn't in the beginning, but my wife once caught us in bed together. I was just reading a book with Stanza, that's all. Then, while we don't watch TV in bed very often, we started having trouble with our TiVo remote in the bedroom controlling the TiVo downstairs so I bought DVR Remote so I could control the TiVo with my iPhone via my wireless network. So that was another excuse for my iPhone and me to spend more time together.
The final straw, though, was this week when I loaded up the Sleep Cycle alarm clock. I generally don't need an alarm clock but this thing tracks your sleep cycles and displays them in a very cool graph so you can see how well you've slept (a bit more accurately than just how you feel the next day.) It has been fascinating to watch the effects of the stress of some major home renovations, client issues, and the occasional glass of wine. Sleep Cycle works by sensing motion in the bed with the very sensitive iPhone accelerometer. Of course in order for it to work the iPhone has to sit on the corner of your mattress by your pillow. It is amazing how accurate it seems to be.
So yes, I have been sleeping with my iPhone. And I'm not going to stop!
