Gardner’s is happy to introduce a nifty little gadget to our product lineup: The REM-fit ACTIVE from Protect-a-Bed. This wearable device monitors activity, distances and most interestingly (to us anyway) Sleep Quality. The concept is simple, wear it at night when you sleep and it will monitor your movements and calculate the amount and quality of sleep you get. The device uses a free, downloadable app (Android or Apple) and connects to a smart phone or tablet via bluetooth. 

REM sleep is the important, restorative sleep that we need to feel rested and alert during the day and the REM-fit ACTIVE will track that for you.

REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep should occupy about 20-25% of your total sleep at night and will start around 90-120 minutes after your first fall asleep. During the course of one night, a person usually experiences four or five periods of REM sleep; shorter periods at first and then longer as the night goes on. The longest period of REM sleep generally occurs in the early morning, right before you wake up. Although the science of detecting REM sleep in an individual is fairly sound, the precise functions of REM sleep are still debated. It is, however, widely accepted that REM sleep is an important aspect of getting a good night’s sleep. Folks who are deprived of quality REM sleep can experience anxiety, irritability, hallucinations and difficulty concentrating. In short: If you don’t get enough REM sleep, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Making the REM-fit ACTIVE a part of your daily routine will help paint a complete picture of your fitness and sleep quality and may help you better understand and plan your routine in the future. Features of the REM-fit ACTIVE include:

  • Active Score – How active are you throughout the day? The REM-Fit Active gives you a score based on your activity, not just the number of steps you’ve taken.
  • Steps – Take every opportunity to rack up your steps REM-fit ACTIVE tracks your daily totals
  • Distance – REM-fit ACTIVE tracks distance walked/ran
  • Calories – REM-fit ACTIVE will calculate how many calories you’ve burned based on usage and exercise
  • Sleep Points – REM-fit ACTIVE will monitor your movements during sleep and calculate your time spent sleeping or tossing and turning.
  • Advanced watch – REM-fit ACTIVE also functions as a watch displaying the time, date and remaining battery life.
  • REM-fit ACTIVE uses a OLED display, a wireless sync to iOS or Android apps and up to 1 week of battery life. It’s worn like a watch or on a belt clip (included) and carries a 1 year warranty.

For people jumping into an active lifestyle (or those who are already there), this is a great little device to keep you organized, informed and on task. Stop by one of our stores and ask for more information and ask a sleep consultant to demonstrate one for you… we all have one and we’d be happy to show you how easy it is to operate.
