Better than Ambien?

For just $199.00 you can buy a gadget that promises to fix your personal sleep problems. The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach is a wireless headband that monitors and records your sleep patterns. It tells you how much sleep you're getting, including deep, light and REM sleep. Then its online apps and email coaching help you analyze your lifestyle to find out what helps you sleep better, and what's keeping you up at night.

Middle of the night pee-ers, that includes you. The app will analyze your data and make Einstein-like suggestions such as:

Don't drink liquids two hours before bedtime.

Block out all light with a sleep mask.

Eat dinner one hour earlier.

Use a thinner pillow.

If I knew that it would tell me to have wild fantasy sex with Javier Bardem before bed, I may be interested. Otherwise, it's hard to get excited about strapping a gizmo (that doubles as an alarm clock) to your head.
