My Delta Sleeper SR1 should arrive next week. Looking forward to improved sleep.

It arrived and I wore it for two consecutive nights. I noticed no benefit from it. I would not recommend it to anyone else. I wasted my money, you shouldn’t.

Make certain you have a fully charged battery and that you placed it correctly.
My experience over the past week (subjective and Oura ring measured), which I reported previously:
- Quicker to fall asleep.
- Quicker to fall back to sleep.
- Far shorter periods awake during the night.
- More deep sleep.
- More REM sleep.
- More sleep.
This has kept up. Modest improvements, but far more than I’ve realized with the Somnee or Elemind.

The SR1 was placed properly and the battery was brand new.
I rarely, if ever, have trouble falling asleep. I exercise between 2 and 3 hours a day, doing cardio and strength training exercises. So I am tired by the end of the day.
I typically go to bed between 9:30p and 10:15p. I wake up multiple times during the night to pee. I’m 75 have and BPH. I go back to sleep quickly each time I waken during the night.
I am wide awake between 3a and 4a. On a rare night I might make it to 4:30a. So that is when I begin the day. This has been my sleep experience for many years.
According to my Garmin Index Sleep Monitor, which I where nightly, I get lots of deep sleep but my REM cycles are short. And, of course, I don’t get 7 hours, ever!
Perhaps your experience is a placebo effect, which is great when it works. For me, the SR1 was just another gadget that I wasted money buying. Not the first time I’ve done that and definitely not the last time either!
Nah - Huberman just says he hasn’t talked to Attia in a while, but that others he knows (perhaps more driven by Bryan Johnson more than anything) have stopped or paused rapamycin. And as David Fajgenbaum says “it can’t be based on any human data, because there isn’t any”…
And even the animal data keeps getting better and better.
I suspect the biggest issue is there is no simple way to measure if rapamycin is helping you. More a problem with the current tools / measures, than the an issue with rapamycin.
If you follow the research closely and read it here at this site, you know that virtually all the research over the past decade has been extremely positive; far, far better than any other drug out there. Rapamycin is still the most powerful, well-validated longevity drug out there…
Not that it will work for everyone, but its the best bet we have out there.

Yes it is.
I think they ought to test old people, before and after rapamycin for several months. Old people’s blood work tends to be out of whack. What you would see after rapamycin, from my experience, is a trend towards normalization.
In young or healthy people it would be hard to track as the benefits for them would not show up until years later matched against other people in their age group.

Only by testing old people, and I mean 75 years and older, will we be able to see the results of rapamycin in a reasonable amount of time, maybe years instead of decades, especially in areas of brain function and things like sarcopenia.
Sorry, I appreciate Dr. Stanfield’s study, but it is too short, underdosed, and has too few participants for it to be of any interest to me.
Somebody, maybe tech billionaires, should step up to the plate and finance a reasonable study.

Meanwhile, in the wearables market:
Wearables are no longer just counting steps or measuring heart rates—they’re also starting to bring diagnostics and healthcare services directly to consumers. Oura’s latest “Health Panels” feature lets ring users schedule a 50-biomarker blood test through its app, while WHOOP users can now purchase lab tests, schedule appointments, and receive results also all within the app. Alongside its own blood panel offering, Ultrahuman is evolving past patent challenges with “Vision Cloud," allowing users to upload any blood test result and receive AI-enabled personalized guidance in return.
In parallel, at-home devices are making their way into new places altogether: Withings now offers a toilet-mounted urine scanner that tracks hydration and nutrients, while Kohler’s latest smart toilet camera analyzes waste for gut health insights. These innovations embed health monitoring more seamlessly into everyday routines—giving consumers unprecedented visibility into their health. But to fully bridge the gap between consumer health insights and clinical decision-making, innovators must work to build the infrastructure that brings personalized data into the hands of providers. A fully connected care experience, from your wrist and your toilet to your doctor, may be just around the bend.

You can also buy lab tests (probably the same ones the wearables are selling), without a doctor’s order, but without insurance paying from Labcorp, Quest, Walk-in-Lab, Life Extension and probably other sites. I have done this regularly to get periodic assessments of my health. If you can afford it, I think it is highly worth it.

Maybe. Happy to take it a win.
Again, maybe. I had some questions and called the company. I left a message the first time, then rang a second and the guy picked up the phone.
I found him helpful and knowledgeable about the technology,
Call won’t cost you anything but a little time. He might help you to get the device to work for you.
Thanks for the advice.
In the event you didn’t see the thread that talks about options for getting labs, just wanted to share that Good Labs is drastically less expensive than if you buy labs from Quest. Fitnomics is another great low cost source but they require a membership.
Great to know this. Thanks!!!

His solution: a better night’s rest. In April, Gestetner cofounded sleep technology company Orion with his father and two of his father’s former business partners, Blake Johnson and Scott Cohen. Today, they make a sensor-activated mattress cover that gathers data (like body temperature and heartrate) and uses AI to regulate the mattress’ heat and maintain an ideal temperature all night long. The cover is currently available for pre-order and will be available for purchase this month. This week, the startup closed a $17.5 million seed round from investors including Mucker Capital, Browder Capital, Second Sight, and more.

EDIT:
From the owner:
- Extremely quiet, significantly quieter than an air purifier or AC
- 24 inches tall
- Every 6 months (to fill the tank)
- Very leak proof!
I will be talking him to more, and will update with anything noteworthy
I’m looking forward to seeing how this compares to eight sleep (and Chilipad)
I’ll think out loud incase anyone winds up finding the answers.
I don’t see it on their website, but I’m interested to see how tall the tower is (it’s more slender than Eight Sleep, but ES is short and not visible when you walk into the room and this looks like it might be pretty tall)… too bad they didn’t make one that could go under the bed like Chilipad.
I’ve never had a leak with ES, but apparently their newer version 5 is considerably more leak proof. I’ll want to know more about Orion’s anti leak technology (I assume this means it can but not likely?)
ES is considerably quieter than Chilipad, which is why I chose it. I’d want to know about how it compares to Orion.
I use ES without the subscription and would want to make sure Orion could be used in the same way.
You almost never need to fill ES with water, but Chilipad needed it constantly. Expected frequency with Orion would be good to know.
I see it gets colder and hotter than ES.
I keep my ES unzipped in order to keep my bed soft, but Orion has a firm or soft option, which is definitely an upgrade.
I found this on insta… interesting…I wonder what this is all about. I messaged them and will come back here if/when I get answers.
EDIT:
I missed this in the article but it describes the patch
I’m not sure how this can work long term because my room is wildly different summer to winter.
“Their current product works like this: customers get access to a bandaid-like wearable patch to sleep with for one night. The sensor embedded in the patch gathers information about the wearer’s body temperature throughout the night. That patch is then used to pre-program their mattress cover for when it arrives at their door. Once on the mattress, the cover has sensors that actively monitor biometric stats like heart rate and breath rate. Based on those stats and the body’s ideal temperature, small water tubing within the mattress cover is activated to cool the body down”

Thanks for peeling these sleep techs apart. Why are they all subscription based? Is there any which you invest in once and be done till it deprecitates or degrades?

This is what I want. I’m refuse to pay a subscription for a mattress
