WanderSleep

About

Amazon Halo, the health wearable that included sleep tracking, was discontinued in January 2023 after two years — users lost access to all their health and sleep data. Withings sleep data is shared with third-party 'partners' under its privacy policy. Sleep apps built for neurotypical bodies have no concept of ADHD circadian phase delay (typical sleep window 2-5am, not 10pm-6am), ME/CFS post-exertional malaise triggered by oversleeping, fibromyalgia non-restorative sleep that accumulates sleep debt even with adequate hours, or PTSD hyperarousal sleep architecture. The 8-hour myth is documented — sleep needs vary by genetics, age, activity, illness, and medication. WanderSleep is local-first sleep intelligence that tracks the patterns in your actual sleep, correlates with your medications and environment, and never exports your sleep data to anyone.

Features

• ADHD circadian phase delay: 2-5am sleep window tracked without pathologizing late sleep
• ME/CFS post-exertional malaise: rest calibration, not 'sleep more' pushed without context
• Fibromyalgia non-restorative sleep: cumulative debt tracking even when hours look adequate
• PTSD hyperarousal architecture: fragmentation tracking, nightmare logging, safe rest planning
• Medication correlation: what's affecting your sleep, when — local analysis only
• No 8-hour myth: your baseline, your pattern, your goals — not normative comparison
• WanderHealthy integration: sleep in full health context with lab results and medication
• WanderAir integration: CO2, PM2.5, temperature correlation with sleep quality
• No data sharing: Amazon Halo model explicitly rejected — data stays on your device forever
• Historical pattern surfacing: 'your sleep changed when X started' — your own archive

Evidence-Based Design

This product's design is grounded in peer-reviewed research and validated practice.

• ADHD is associated with a 73-minute average delay in circadian phase (sleep onset 2–3am), directly contradicting the 10pm–6am normative sleep window most apps enforce. Van Veen et al. (2010). Delayed circadian rhythm in adults with ADHD. Chronobiology International. PMID 20397902PubMed: 20397902
• PTSD is characterized by fragmented sleep architecture and hyperarousal — metrics not captured by mainstream sleep apps that measure only total sleep time. Germain (2013). Sleep disturbances as core symptoms of PTSD. Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience. PMID 23930457PubMed: 23930457
