Sevenhugs HugOne
Do you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep
patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the
sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for
sleep patterns of children and adults.
HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of
smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and
other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.
● The benefits of HugOne include:
* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds
to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.
* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living
space.
* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred
nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.
* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed,
it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.
● The following are selected from customers’ comments:
I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the
sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.
—Robert Compton
● HugOne available for purchase includes:
I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base
in my house. All my family members think highly of it.
—Chris Hanawalt HugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep. If you want to get more detailed information,

A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us
to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine,who hita traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving
an ultimatum about beinglate on the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness
at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His supervisor was probably
already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes,the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room;everyone was
hard at work.Sam’s supervisor came up to him.Suddenly,Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How
do you do!” he said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job,which,I understand,became available
just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor“clamped off”a smile and walked back to his office.Sam
Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win,a laugh.
Humor is a most effective,yet frequently neglected,means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences,apologizing,saying “no”,criticizing,getting the other fellow to do what
you want without his losingface.For some jobs,it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects
so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians on television are
doing more today for racial and religious tolerancethan people in any other forum.
4. Why was Sam late for his job?
A. Because he was ill.
B. Because he got up late.
C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
