   Nice idea. But I'm either being stupid or it's barfing - have completed all fields but getting an 'all fields required' error.

   They did take objective measures, via polysomnography. It's one of the novel aspects of this study. Interesting that perceived difficulty getting to sleep after gaming was greater than that recorded via the polysomnography.

    Yes blue light inhibits melatonin release, although to my knowledge there is still very little reliable research on in-situ, naturalistic use of devices on sleep. Agreed that this is a small sample; however the use of both subjective and ob

    I agree it is a small sample - although not uncommon for psychology studies. I'm going to see if Dr Kyle (who wrote the post) can hop on here to give us his view.

    Looks great! Lovely idea. What feedback have you got about pricing so far?

    Thanks so much! Sounds fascinating - what's your service called? Would love to see how you've approached that challenge - I know for us it took a lot of iterations!

    We decided 'Sleepio' way before .io domains were available!

    Nice idea - we would need to connect the headline explaining the programme with the Prof more clearly, but that's pretty easy. Will work it up, thanks!

    Thanks, but I actually think we need to be even clearer. It should be obvious what to do without reading anything. And if high-functioning HN users are making that error, your average Boots customer almost certainly is. Unfortunately there

    We built the main sessions in Flash first because it was the quickest way to discover what it was that we were building! So the Flash version has been around longest and is the most stable (and currently the slickest). Once we were confide

    Thanks for taking the time to look at it and give such thorough feedback. The name thing is the one thing that always seems to delight people; it's indicative of the care/attention we pay (hopefully) to the user throughout the programme. To

    Yep peer referral is the most powerful driver - you've echoed the view of pretty much every sleep sufferer I've interviewed! The Boots partnership was in part to try to build that trust (and therefore value).

    You've inadvertantly highlighted a UX failing of ours - that's not actually a sign up form! We ask for your first name so you can meet The Prof; another thing we're wrestling with, how to introduce that (non-standard) experience in a clear

    Yes, we'll need an umbrella name. But right now it's more important for it to be immediately obvious what the problem is that we can help with, since we rely on self-diagnosis, (the user is actively looking for a sleep solution either onlin

    Thanks. Can I ask why?

    by phames 14y ago

    Understood. Fair point. We've taken what are the clinical standard measures - and some indeed feature counterintuitive questions. And you're right, one of the main issues with 'insomnia' is an unreliable sleep pattern. We don't want to know

    Thanks for the suggestion - it's something we've considered; the issue with our tests to date has been getting the minute-to-minute fidelity with a circular interface (plus it's actually quite hard to drag something accurately in a circular
