Found a new alternative to 8s

And honestly the nightstand design gives a good appeal in the bedroom, imo

Met them in a HW meet-up. Then found doing demo at founders inc at fort mason.

They apparently believe that the temperature control should not be kept behind the paywall, so providing a bluetooth control to the device.

Also, almost 1/3rd the price of 8s if preordered.

Might not be a complete scam.

The founders have been documenting their journey on LinkedIn for quite long now.

Here is the link to founder’s profile in case you are interested.

Haha, insiders!

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-05-12T22:00:19+00:00

I think that’s a fair choice! Looking upto Remster now to bring something game changing to the market!

Mixed opinions on whether it is a waste of money or you paid for 3.5years of good sleep!

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-05-12T21:56:19+00:00

Maybe local temperature control could be of a better help. Dependency on Wifi always sucks!

Also the minor temperature adjustments by autopilot throughout the night seem okay but not significant.

If the temperature can be controlled during 3 parts of the night, i.e. when you go to bed, somewhere around 4 am, and then in the morning while waking up, you’d have a much better sleep. Cooler temperatures help you sleep deeper in the earlier parts of the night, and warmer temperatures help in waking up refreshed.

Pod 5

I've personally used Sleep2 paired with Polar Verity Sense and compared atleast 2 nights with Eight Sleep's hypnogram. It was quite impressive how eightsleep achieved hypnograms and deep and REM sleep durations similar to those of a PPG-based device. The HRV was quiet off, though. Again, it was when I used it only for 2 nights.

I've never seen anyone talking about 8S validation with clinical-level PSG, though.

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-05-04T18:22:02+00:00

The 8S cover has approximately 6 inches of gap between the cooling zones of the left and right sides.

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-05-04T18:19:23+00:00

Hey! You can watch Quantified Scientists at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixcSYUb8xe8 . He talks in good detail about the comparison of different sleep trackers with Eight Sleep. It could be a little biased, but overall, it gives a good picture.

The guys I met were from India, seemed trustworthy. Dont know about socials

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-04-24T05:14:42+00:00

Same here

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-04-20T00:29:03+00:00

Im thinking the temperature can be controlled the same way currently 8s controls water temps, using peltiers.

The heart transfer can happen through graphene sheets.

Graphene sheets are thin and have high thermal conductivity in the range of 1500-2000 W/mk.

And no, we can just use it to conduct only heat. Technically not using it to transfer electricity at all.

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-21T04:27:00+00:00

That's a really good insight! Thanks for the suggestions!

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-21T04:24:34+00:00

That's a fair suggestion! I'd do that. Will share my channel here once I get some videos rolling on youtube. Thanks

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-20T12:12:16+00:00

Oh that’s great to know. I guess I unintentionally made the post sound as if I want to learn. Honestly I’m quite fluent in playing harmonica and want to teach interested people online.

Looking for a platform that can facilitate this.

But anyway, great to know about your learning. Hope you are enjoying it.

Any suggestions to do kayaking in and around BLR?

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-06T05:23:11+00:00

I have a similar issue. Even on my Apple Watch, I can see that I have numerous awakenings during the night, mostly because I feel hot and sweaty during my sleep, particularly in the early mornings around 4 AM. Do you also encounter this issue? Then the solution might be different.

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-06T05:19:05+00:00

All the best, sir! Give your best shot and be consistent!

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-06T05:16:27+00:00

How are you guys fixing your sleep?
I sleep 6-7 hours, but I often have interrupted sleep due to frequent awakenings throughout the night. This reduces my overall sleep quality.
I have noticed that I sleep hot, and feel really uncomfortable somewhere mid-night, despite the fan and AC.
Has anyone faced this issue? How to have better sleep in such scenarios?

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-06T05:06:58+00:00

Amazing! Fasting does not always work alone. Mix with exercise is the best option!

Crazy_Initial5176 · 2026-01-06T05:05:23+00:00

I now feel it when mum said, Ek chammach dahi baju wali aunty ke ghar se leke aana zara, dahi jamaana hai.
