Sleep Cycle alarm clock
Do you want to wake up feeling rested and relaxed? If yes, this intelligent alarm clock is right for you.
While people sleep, they go through different phases, ranging from deep sleep to light sleep. The phase you are in when your alarm goes off is critical for how tired you will feel when you wake up. Since you move differently in bed during the different phases, Sleep Cycle uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to monitor your movement and determine which sleep phase you are in and wakes you in the lightest sleep phase – the natural way to wake up feeling rested and relaxed.
Highlights:- Analyzes your sleep and wakes you in your lightest sleep phase
- Nightly detailed sleep statistics and sleep graphs
- 15 carefully selected, high quality, alarm melodies
- Sleep notes - see how events such as drinking coffee, eating too much or having a stressful day affect sleep quality
- Export sleep data to Excel for detailed analysis
- Available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
