Ask HN: How to measure and improve sleep quality?
Having recently read about deaths of Ryan Davis and Dave Goldberg, I wonder how we can monitor sleep quality, detect potential disorders and improve them. Most apps I've found seem crap, either requiring access to device phone number, or with poor reviews. From your experience, what worked best at measuring your sleep quality and identifying causes for lack of good sleep? (anything, not...

What I'd like improved about Mixpanel:
* lower pricing (love the free tier, and until now I had just one client went beyond it and afforded to upgrade)
* be able to send notifications on events. I got sick of the excuse that "you've actually come across a really important characteristic of Mixpanel's data structure. People & Events both apply to users' distinct IDs, and sometimes appear to be working in tandem (e.g., people profile activity feeds), but the two sections of analytics actually live in two completely distinct data stores"
* do simple enhancements / bugfixes. I've sent suggestions to support, they said Yes, great, and nothing happened. Gave up. Examples: prefill notify me test email with current user's email address; fix properties in live view which are filled with custom links -- mixpanel will open those relative to report, instead of new window.
Fedora Linux 21 Alpha released
Sorry/surprised to see the Metrics feature is enabled only for applications with more than one running dyno.
My biggest question remains "When should I enable a 2nd dyno for my app?" Even better, I'd like to say to Heroku "when this app is overwhelmed, enabled at most X dyno(s), and turn them off as activity decreases".

I've been using Fedora since... RedHat 4.2. The drop that filled the glass last week (using a nightly compose) was the new gnome3 behavior when coming back from turned off monitor to save power. Even though I disabled lock/screen saver/password, rather than just letting me continue where I was now I have to "slide" with my mouse the screen.
So I switched to Ubuntu. My first ever Ubuntu install. When asking about local time, it recognized the city where I was. Because, gee, I'm connected to the network. I learned how to use apt* stuff instead of yum&rpm, and I don't miss Fedora.
