The American Sleep Research Institute (ASRI) is the only research facility targeted to meet today's demand for commercial/industrial testing of sleep-related products.

ASRI's biomechanical research focuses on the correlation between product design, comfort and sleep. Having selected the research criteria that suggestively defines quality sleep, ASRI biomechanically measures a product's performance. Through biomechanic research, it is possible to determine how effective a product is in regard to enhancing user comfort.

Sleep Stages 

• Sleep Latency: The number of minutes before the onset of a measurable sleep cycle.
• Sleep Efficiency: The percentage of time spent in bed versus the time spent asleep.
• Micro-Arousals: Rate per hour of measurable, but brief, changes during sleep to waking brain wave activity.
• Major Body Repositioning: Rate of major body position changes per hour.

The ASRI staff are experienced, qualified research technicians and are registered Polysomnographic Technologists. Pioneering the field of sleep normalcy -- ASRI is the sole authority in helping to define sleep quality criteria, through qualitative evaluation and biomechanical research.
