I asked this in the Techcrunch comments but I'm thinking it will be more visible here: In terms of the iPhone app, how do they trigger anything without having to keep your iPhone on and in their app the whole time? Other than that I am sold.

#53Why doesn't the device just use wifi to call any number so that I could have it call my cell and wake me up?

Congratulations to the Wakemate team! I think you've helped me with my Christmas shopping.

#59Sounds really interesting. It's a shame it's not shipping sooner. I just had a 7 month vacation and getting my sleep pattern back to normal has proved nearly impossible.

I don't know about you, but I move around a _lot_ during sleep. Sure, if it only knows that I'm awake if I go to the bathroom or kitchen during the night, I understand the difference. Would be interesting to know how it makes the distinction, though.
In lighter stages of sleep this doesn't happen and you do move around.
