Who's behind binarysleep?

This is the most common question people have. Binarysleep was created by Andrew Korbel, RPSGT. Sparked by the nonsense seen on some of the other sleep related websites he launched the latest alternative for sleep technologists. There is no corporate entity behind binarysleep. This site is neutral ground. What fuels the site are the core principals of Community, Education, and Expression.


Community- This site is here to foster a closer more organized sleep community. Because there are so very few public schools teaching sleep, the majority of "education" for techs comes from private corporations. These private companies are inherently (and understandably) looking out for their best interest first, your education second. This outlook pulls apart the sleep community.

Education- A very important function. Given the current lack of formal and required education for sleep professionals, this site seeks to culminate multiple tools and resources for furthering everyone’s understanding of sleep. Qualifications for becoming a sleep technologist are so unregulated, it's imperative that we support new techs with a source for free education. An ongoing feature of this site is registry preparation. Quizzes and a "live chat" are available to registered users (in the forum section).

Expression- Given the nature of our business, and the long nights (often alone) it seems imperative that a suitable form of expression be available for us. We firmly believe in your Freedom of Speech! Express yourself with many different "smiley's" or give people an idea of who you are with the many "avatars". Rest assured that your post will not be deleted if you say something mildly objectionable. We insist you post with respect, do not violate copyright law, and do not commit libel. We are committed to ensure a comfortable medium for expression. Because the anonymity of the internet seems to bring out the nastiness in us all, we do require you to register to post (anyone can view posts however). This helps keep the content appropriate. Additionally we log IP addresses should we find it necessary to take more extreme action.
