Useful but how practical is this?You have to set it to sleep mode firstly...who the fark knows when they are going to fall asleep?That is what the sleep function on the TV is for.Surely it cant be that difficult to scan through the show and find out where you fell asleep?

I always fall asleep to the tv,cant get to sleep without it

You attach a wrist sensor to your arm.... It senses when you fall asleep. This function isn't a timer like on your TV.

I know that, it sensors when you fall asleep based on movements and what not.What about the guy that watches tv and is completely motionless
Again I say that surely it cant be difficult to just find the place in the series where you fell alseep lol
