Can the Jawbone UP Help you Sleep Better?

How many times have you promised yourself that you would get in shape and live a healthier life for your New Year’s Resolution?  How many times has your phone or computer gotten in the way of that? I know games and movies certainly have gotten in the way every so often.

The new Jawbone UP integrates technology into a stylish wristband that will get you moving towards a healthier lifestyle.

Keeping with Jawbone’s tradition of fashionable products, the UP wristband’s got a sleek and simple look to it.  Using Bluetooth technology, all the physical activity that you do during the day is monitored and sent to the “LiveUP” app on your smart phone allowing you to track steps taken, calories burned etc. The UP’s not just a one trick pony, though.

The phone synchronization is standard in the new wave of physical exercise products.  However, what sets the UP apart from its competition is the commitment it has to enriching your lifestyle as a whole.  It pairs up with its app to create an interactive food journal for the user.

For example, it’s capable of tracking the amount of sleep that you get, whether it is deep vs. light sleep, amount of time awake or your overall quality of sleep.  So, get rid of that obnoxious ringtone you hate so much, and wake up refreshed with the UP’s silent smart alarm.  The UP’s sleep mode will wake you up as it vibrates on your wrist at the ideal moment in your natural sleep cycle.

With a choice of three sizes and seven different colours, there’s going to be no style compromise for even the most fashion forward individual.

This lifestyle changer will set you back $99, but you know what they say – you’re only given one lease on life.  So, I guess the only real question is.. What are you UP for?
