Features
editSleepBot included two main features: "sleep debt estimation" and "smart alarms."
- SleepBot's "sleep debt estimation" claimed to estimate how much sleep debt the user has incurred.[3]
- SleepBot's "smart alarm" feature used the device's accelerometer to dectect whether the user was in non-REM sleep and attempt to wake them up.
