itting coffee, waking up became easy for me.

This feels like an over-engineered solution to a problem that's easy to fix:
switch to decaf. There's a reason you feel horrible in the morning, and it's
not because of "sleep inertia!"

My caffeine intake is basically nil, but I still often feel drowsy when I wake
up, especially from an alarm. It's usually when I haven't sleept enough, but
sometimes if I've been sleeping roughly enough, waking up from my alarm leaves
me very drowsy.

Sleep is very complicated. Just because dumping caffeine fixed your drowsiness
doesn't mean it'll fix everyone's.

Maybe my comment came off too strong, but I'd not be surprised (especially
given the audience for the WakeMate) if a majority of WakeMate users have a
daily intake of caffeine adversely affecting their sleep cycle.

Another way to put it is this is premature optimization for those folks.

I don't drink coffee. I don't drink tea. I don't drink soda. I consume 0
caffeine and as a student I get my energy from good sleep. However, I've
realized that more sleep does not necessarily mean I wake up refreshed. I've
self observed with myself that if one day I sleep 7 hours or 8 or 5 and feel
well rested and then I try to repeat that, I don't produce the same results.
This is an excellent product that addresses this sleep issue and your comments
are really not justified.

Exactly. I'm in the middle of trying to let my wrists heal from RSI, and I've
noticed that my sleep quality isn't consistently good. Deep sleep seems
necessary for healing to occur. I'm looking for something that will let me try
out different sleep tweaks (less ambient lighting/no caffeine at all/exercise
in morning/exercise in afternoon/various diets) and see which ones are
actually effective for me.

Hopefully Wakemate fits the bill. I'll wait for the initial reviews to come
out. I'm excited about the future of health afforded by devices like these.
