btw Sabre fans... this was the kind of stuff I was talking about with an owner that will spend money to improve the team in different ways.
a cheap-skate will not spring for something like this (or a scouting staff)
Wow. That's impressive technology. I mean, there are days where the guys just won't be able to get the right amount/quality of sleep, it's just in the nature of the beast. But the third period stats is amazing. This is why a lot of guys end up addicted to cold medications and Claritin and the like, ups the reaction time (lots of goalies end up with this one). It's a dangerous path to go down.
Years ago when I was poor I tried to make some cash doing medical testing. I was going to test some sleep drugs but they wanted me to wear a device like that for a week first to make sure I had a normal schedule so they could accurately test the drugs. After wearing it for a week I was told my schedule was too varied for them to test me. The watch that I wore for the week was 3 times the size of the one shown on HNIC.
It was funny, I was working with a guy who just moved here from Russia and he kept yelling at me to take it off because he thought they were giving me doses of radiation.
