Skeptical it can glean all of that without EEG, let alone without heart rate.

Check out some details in the second blog link.

Of course a sleep clinic with a lot of sensors will give you much better results.

The analogy would be a massage chair vs masseuse. Different price/convenience tradeoffs.

Heart rate can be discerned remotely using infrared cameras [1] so that would be doable.
