Zeo

Whether we like it or not, the holidays are quickly approaching — which means it's time to get our gadget gift guides in gear! My Must Haves list for November certainly got the ball rolling, but you're probably wondering where to start when it comes to shopping for those "hard to buy for" people on your list? Well look no further, because starting today until Christmas, you'll find helpful gift guides on GeekSugar for everyone on your list. And who better to kick things off then the most important woman in our lives — our mothers!

In my opinion, achieving a sense of general well-being includes three vital components: incorporating a balanced and nutritious diet into your lifestyle, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep. Not surprisingly, most people are lacking in one or all of these areas, which is why I am thrilled to tell you about this new device that acts as your personal sleep coach — because we all know if we don't get enough sleep, diet and exercise tend to be the last things on our minds.

Based on academic articles within sleep science and designed in conjunction with sleep scientists, the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach is a four-part system which includes a headband, a bedside display, an interactive website, and a seven-step sleep fitness program. Its purpose is to measure your sleep patterns and give you tools to help improve your sleep by educating you on how you're actually sleeping. It's not some magical sleep doctor in a box, but it is pretty cool.
