#4Is there an app or device that can reliably determine if you are in REM and signal you so you can become lucid? Does lucid dreaming affect the recovery you get from sleep?

There's a device with app which can reliably determine if you are in REM: https://dreem.com/.
I have sleep apnea and bought it in order to keep track of the quality of my sleep.

Saw them at CES 2020. Scary. Data broker for your brain activity. Avoid at all costs.

What do you do with the data? After knowing the quality, how do you improve it?

But it doesn't send a signal so I don't think it will help the poster.
Tracking REM sleep seems to be fairly easy. My Xiaomi wristband seems to reliably detect when I go into REM, even though the device is very cheap.

Agreed. This one was a better title:
> Scientists communicate with people in lucid dreaming state

Out of curiosity : how do you know it reliably detects it?
I have a polar watch that also tracks my sleep and presents it in a nice plot. I have no way to check whether that plot is a good representation of my night, or whether they just randomly put in a few blocks and mark them as REM.
I don't mean to imply that I don't trust the device or anything. I'm just saying I have no way to verify how reliable it really is.
