Ever since Christmas I’ve been playing around with this fairly new iPhone app. It’s called Sleep cycle alarm and basically what it does, is registering your movement during sleep, and wakes you up at a time within 30 minutes prior to your set time, when you are most awake.
After some time using it, I must say it’s working very well! Every time I’ve woke up with it, I’ve been feeling more awake then when using my regular alarm. All tough this might be my subconscious tricking me, I don’t really care. It feels better to wake up, and I get graphs of my sleeping patterns, which are always great fun.
Below you will see a collection of graphs with the sleep statistics from 27 December until today. These represent how I have slept during this time, and according to the latest statistics on my phone, I sleep an average of 6 hours and 46 minutes every night.
I can highly recommend anyone with an iPhone having problems feeling tired and agitated when getting up in the morning, to try this app. Just remember, you have to use it for at least 3 days for the app to properly register your sleeping patterns and wake you up at the best possible time. In the beginning it will wake you up precisely at the set hour, but after the initial registrations, it will start waking you up earlier.

Did you tape the phone to your head.. or do you keep it your boxer? :)
Hehe, that’s for me to know and you to find out? :p Nah, I keep it next to my pillow, so it registers all movements, seeing as that part of the bed moves up slightly with movement. The accelerometer is the one doing the work registering everything.
