Unfortunately, it appears that the sensors are currently out of stock as of the date this article was written. Philips warns that the tracker's overall performance could be negatively affected when using the sensor past the recommended three-day limit. Replacement smart sensors cost $30 per pack, which is inconvenient when it comes to keeping them stocked regularly. These sensors are placed behind the ear and connect to the headset. The SmartSleep, however, requires two replaceable sensors. Various other sleep trackers I've looked at in the past have sensors installed within the device itself, reducing any additional costs. Before we go over the entire process of using SmartSleep, I'd like to address the device's lack of integrated sensors. Upon completed setup, you can start tracking and analyzing your sleep quality. This is more of an inconvenience than a fatal flaw, however. SmartSleep, rather, must be connected to the internet before you can view your sleep data or have any of it synced to the cloud. They are then able to synchronize this data with the cloud.

In these cases, data is transmitted to internal device memory automatically via Bluetooth during the night. Various sleep trackers available display sleep data without requiring an internet connection the next day. The sleep tracker requires no constant connection to WiFi to collect data overnight. Once the device is synced to SleepMapper, the SmartSleep is ready for use. You are then prompted to create an account (only required upon initial setup). On the first time setup, the SmartSleep is connected to its SleepMapper app via Bluetooth. Some sleep trackers don't use these soft fabrics, resulting in an uncomfortable experience. SmartSleep also uses a soft material to cover the entirety of the device. This reduces the risk of the headband running too small or large. The SmartSleep isn't a one-size-fits-all device, and Philips did make some attempt to ensure user comfort by offering two sizing options: medium and large. I do have to give the SmartSleep's design some credit. If you simply can't sleep on your back, this may prove troublesome. These speakers are positioned on each side of SmartSleep and, according to some reviewers, cause discomfort that makes side-sleeping nearly impossible. Unfortunately, a problem lies within one of SmartSleep's more innovative features- the integrated speakers.
Philips doesn't state that the SmartSleep can be used only when users sleep on their back, and this isn't entirely untrue. Sure, it resembles a headband, but it isn't nearly as inconspicuous as that term might suggest. The SmartSleep is advertised as a "deep sleep enhancing wearable headband" but to call it a headband seems indescriptive. While many wearable sleep trackers are also worn on the user's head, I've always found this unpleasant. What did surprise me, however, was how unimpressive the SmartSleep's design was. I was initially unaware that Philips had a line of sleep tech but considering their status as one of the technology industry's giants, I shouldn't have been surprised. The Final Verdict on the Philips SmartSleep.
