Ozlo Is Turning Your Sleep Into Data Gold, You Tired Bastard

Right, so Ozlo — yeah, those cheeky bastards who made those Sleepbuds that *kinda* worked before dying mid-snore — are at it again. They’ve decided that just helping people sleep isn’t enough of a racket. No, now they’re building a bloody sleep data platform, because obviously, what the world needs is more people measuring how crap their rest is.

Apparently, these geniuses have cooked up some new hardware that tracks when you’re drooling into your pillow and when you’re having one of those 3AM existential crises. The data then gets pumped into their fancy cloud system, where the company can slice, dice, and monetize it six ways from Sunday. Because what could possibly be better than having your insomnia logged, graphed, and analyzed by people who think “sleep” is a business model?

The plan, they say, is to turn this personal sleep-tracking crapfest into a platform — one that companies, developers, and health nerds can plug into. So yeah, expect everyone from your GP to your mattress to start knowing exactly how much you suck at sleeping. It’s all about “building a sleep ecosystem” blah blah transformative insight into rest patterns, or some other buzzword-laden bullshit designed to sound like science when it’s really just “collect your data, flog it later.”

In summary: Ozlo wants to own your bedtime and probably sell your dreams back to you as a subscription. Brilliant. Next thing you know, they’ll charge you extra to dream in HD.

Signoff: Reminds me of that time I tried to automate my own sleep schedule with a cron job. Woke up three days later in a caffeine-induced coma and the server rebooted itself just to spite me. Some things, my dear sysadmins, should just be left the fuck alone.
