Wake up naturally with the Sleep Cycle app

Got an iPhone? Try downloading the Sleep Cycle application and slipping your phone under your pillow before you go to sleep. This clever bio-alarm clock analyses and graphs your nightly sleep pattern so you can check exactly how you’ve been sleeping.

Simply name the time bracket you’re happy to be woken within, such as between 7am and 8am. It will then awaken you when you are in the lightest sleep phase within that period, rather than jolting you awake from a deep sleep. It’s a far more natural and gentle way to awaken, rather than with the obligatory blaring alarm clock, and you’ll feel more rested as a result.

Sleep Cycle is already a huge success, having achieved No. 1 paid app status in Germany, Japan and Russia. For more info visit lexwarelabs.com/sleepcycle, or download it from the Apple iTunes store.
