Currently I have the code running on a RasPi3 to gather biometric data at night. I'm using an old Android phone with a Voice Activated Recording application to identify the timing of nightmares. I've written a script to parse the VAR output to correlate and graph the nightmare events for analysis. I've done some work to get a VAR app ([svar](https://github.com/Arkq/svar)) running on the RasPi itself, however I've not figured out how to get it to record properly so for now I'm still using the Android app. + +I did implement "timed vibration" functionality in the interim, however it's not been very successful. + +**Q: What's the best way to secure the band for sleep?** +**A:** The stock wristband is uncomfortable during sleep, and this was also the case for the other wristbands we've tried. I've constructed a ~40mm wide plastic collar for the main unit of the band out of a piece of soft 1mm thick plastic, lined it with duck tape for softness, then secured that against the skin of the ankle with a dollar-store elastic wrist-support. So far this has worked well. + + + + + +
