Sleep may wary from person to person but typical is not more than 10 hours and if the device lasts that long on a fully charged battery, its purpose of monitoring a full night length is served sufficiently. I think the idea is nice considering that he are basing it on open source ideology. I am thrilled by the idea of being able to extend it. It should not be hard to add sensors to monitor heart rate for example. Just wondering if it is possible to make the hardware also modular - like add another thin strip (wrist band) for a heart monitor, etc. That will be powerful.
