=How the Zeo Works=
The Zeo uses a headband to monitor brain waves and transmits to the information to a base station, or to supported phones or tablets. The Zeo determines what sleep stage you are in with reasonable accuracy. From this, the Zeo gives an overall score to your sleep (ZQ), as well as recording how long you sleep in each sleep stage. The app provides reports on your sleep history and can automatically upload the results to the web for more detailed analysis.
