But rather than get something that may perhaps be restricted towards needing a gadget outside the standard things a person would have, why not a shirt to monitor those sleep patterns? The Somnus Sleep Shirt stands to change the face of sleep monitoring without much adjustment. Nyx Devices offers a shirt that contains thin and flexible respiratory sensors that can measure a wearer's breathing patterns when they are in bed. There is an attached small pocket as well at the bottom of the shirt called the Sleep Logger that powers the sensors of the shirt. The device likewise transmits the gathered data to the Nyx website for analysis when the device is plugged in to charge. The device is still in the testing phase and will reportedly be priced under $100.
