Better Sleeping Technology IV

Here is another reason as to why you should have a good night sleep (A new study offers new clue to good memory.) While it is interesting to have college students trying to remember different items after a good night sleep, it probably also negate the fact that most older people ( I mean older than college students), while sleeping as long as they want, have sleep patterns of lesser quality. Somebody recently asked me what technology could also be included in this "Better sleeping technology program". Well for one, it seems pretty obvious that some of this technology include acoustic devices evaluating the resonnance of one's room, mechanisms for storing and dating noises made during the sleep, light collecting devices for evaluating its influence on waking mechanisms, cameras evaluating the flora in your mattresses (are you allergic to them, do you sneeze because of them and wake up because of it ?), cameras evaluating your movements over night, sensors evaluating temperature and humidity. Evidently, all this information would have to be recorded on a noiseless computer.
