.. I thought I just made a plurk but mobile ate it maybe? If it went somewhere it shouldn't have, sorry to whoever got it

I am just excited bc instead of being terrified waking up to alarms my fitness band just vibrates in a heartbeat pattern and gently wakes me up!!!

thats Cute

It's real nice! I set the heartbeat pattern myself but I am generally the type who is spooked to shit by being woken up and often wake up in a panicked state

Actually it tracks my sleep too and it tells me that I don't get much deep sleep at all

YES

fitness bands are fucking awesome for so many reasons. i was gifted one last summer when my roommate's mother got an apple watch and had no use for hers and i only didn't wear it when i worked at sbux because we weren't allowed to wear watches/jewelry, otherwise i don't take it off save for to clean it and clean myself

...well and charge it, but

does yours have a little celebratory animation for accomplishments

not a cute one but it does give me a thumbs up!!

mine's really simple (which is honestly good bc i very much do not need to be ATTACHED to my wrist (even though wrist-bound communicators are my Aesthetic) but like WHOOO

the first few days i was like

SCREAMING

i hated this silicone touching my wrist constantly but

i need to prove to myself that my 'heart issues' are actually a panic issue and also work on how much activity i do in a day at all bc of my asthma and not wanting my lungs to get weaker

so it's very good for that... but ESPECIALLY for understanding my sleep pattern??

and now i will haev significant data to give to a doctor to be like

hey i fucking need to be medicated for my anxiety because it is affecting my heart rate and my sleep patterns, i literally cannot get a full amount of deep sleep

content://media/external/images/media/13 to 16% deep sleep is fuckin abnormal

I honestly really need to get a vibrating alarm clock again

for years I used an old motorolla phone as an alarm clock and I was so sad when the clock eventually drifted too far to do that

tey always sleeps through their alarm/turns it off in their sleep so i'm wondering if something like this won't helpt hem too

i used to have an alarm clock that was just like, this vibrating ball??\

THIS GUY

it worked until it broke, but

it at some point just. stopped alarming
