What is the Muse sleep monitor and how does it work?

The Muse sleep monitor is a device designed to track and improve the user’s sleep quality. It works by monitoring various physiological signals throughout the night, such as brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and movement, using advanced sensors. These data points are collected and analyzed to provide insights into sleep patterns and cycle durations, including REM, light, and deep sleep phases. The device often pairs with a smartphone app which allows the user to review their nightly data, observe trends over time, and receive personalized tips to enhance sleep quality. By understanding their unique sleep patterns, users can make informed adjustments to their habits or environment to promote better rest.
