It wants to destroy my marriage with a sleep leaderboard and nightly drinking.

    Jeez. An apple-infested, AI-powered bed with cloud-acces that monitors your most private moments and shares them with the world? And that also costs money not pays you?

    But when I’d ask them if I could just sit there and watch them sleep, suddenly I am the weird one?

    The author is one of the reasons they can sell that crap. Why do people always only learn by experience?

      Smart people learn from their own mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes ot experience of others, stupid people never learn.

    I take my beauty rest seriously. So seriously that, after months of testing, I bought my ludicrously expensive Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra review unit.

    Imagine telling on yourself this hard

      Yeh her ability to waffle is annoying. They oversaturated every point repetitively and pad it with crap.

      I nearly choked on the protein bagel I’d been shoveling into my gob.

      Short story they bought a ridiculous priced bed to give them data…and it gamified their sleep and gave them dodgy info…not a surprise.

      Article takes 10 paragraphs to explain, and is entitled the bed needs to shut up. Ironic.

    If your snoring is that problematic you probably need a sleep study and a CPAP machine, not a $5,000 bed making you drink.

      Yes but unfortunately it’s the only one that is coded to strip paywalls instead of archiving the page as-is

        Except it’s also been found to change page content, so it’s not really archiving the page as-is, either

        archive.ph also works to strip pay walls.
