Has anyone else used this app? It's fucking magic

It tries to wake you up when you're sleeping the lightest so you don't feel like shit when you wake up

I installed it yesterday and slept from 1AM to 5:30AM and it woke me up at like 5:35AM and I felt fucking fine. This shit is crazy. I crashed hard later of course due to lack of sleep but still.

I've been using it for three months. It's cool as fuck, especially going back over past nights and seeing when I've gotten good and bad sleep.

> tfw average is like 6.5 hours a night
> it's consistently low throughout the week, from like 2am to 8am, give or take
> skewed by weekend sleep-fests of like 4am to 3pm

The intelligent snooze function is cool as fuck as well. I still feel drowsy when I wake up, but that's more because I get fuck all sleep CONSISTENTLY.

>>
>>55086084
Yeah sorry, I was being cheeky. There's nothing wrong about working, but I'm completely against forcing yourself to wake up. My first priority about any new job I'm applying to is that I start at least at 11 AM or so.
>>
>>55086130
I wake up at 8 for an 8.30 start. Living two minutes from work is great. I'd be fine with it if I just went to bed at a reasonable hour, so the problem for me is less to do with the start time, and more with me just refusing to fix my sleeping habits.
>>
>>55086130
This isn't really forcing yourself to wake up. You can still get enough sleep but wake up at a better time.
>>
>>55086219
...by forcing yourself to wake up
>>
>>55086233
It's within a 30 minute period that you choose (you can change the time period but 30 minutes is recommended). If I miss 20 minutes of sleep and feel much better when I wake up then it's definitely a net gain. The point is you are almost awake when the app wakes you up.

Does it work if you're sleeping in the bed with another person?

>>55086414
>>55086385
It's a one month free trial.
>>
>>55086542
>Sleep Cycle works well for two persons sharing bed using microphone motion detection. Sound decays exponentially with distance, this means that sounds generated by your partner will have a much lower volume than sounds generated by you. In addition to this, If both users use Sleep Cycle then the two devices will automatically connect to each other over Wi-Fi. Sleep Cycle can then detect where in bed a sound originates from with an accuracy of 30 cm (1 feet), translating the analysis into an extremely accurate sleep analysis for both users.

Haven't tested this myself though. My Mum hasn't been here for the last week.

Thanks again

>>55085988
I use an alarm to wake up, but his sentiment is right. I remember reading somewhere that you should be waking up "naturally". Naturally, in this case, meant completely on your own. Anything less and you were supposedly forcing yourself out of sleep too early.

I don't think I buy it, because the amount of time I sleep without an alarm can vary between 4-5 hours and 11 hours depending on the night, and there's no way that kind of variance can be very good, but the general principle of letting your body manage its own recovery seems sound.

As for OP, Jawbone does that with the UP band and it's significantly better versus smartphone apps, which generally only work by sensing vibrations on the mattress. activity trackers (that you can wear to sleep) can differentiate between things like light sleep and deep sleep more accurately.

In other words, welcome to like 2010 or something.

Ive never used a fancy app

I have my phone alarm to wake me up at 7:30am every morning.
I use this sleep clock calculator
http://sleepyti.me/

Usually I get ready for bed at 10:00pm, and am in bed by 10:15 to 10:20 to hopefully fall into sleep around 10:30
I know the times for ok sleep cycles when I stay up late, which are midnight and 1:30.

It truly is crazy how manipulating your sleep cycles you feel so much better.

I also use Flux and Twilight. When I know I am about to go to sleep, I crank them on to kickstart my circadian rhythm. When you see what looks like the sun going down, it tells your body to get ready for sleep.

Its been really helpful to keep my sleep in order.

Go to bed at 21:00 and you'll wake up at 5:00 or 6:00 naturally (after getting some used to it).

You can actually easily make the transition by not sleeping one night, and then going to bed early the next day.
>>
>>55089655
Read the description.
You lay it next to you in your bed. Then it measures your movement. If you move very little, you're probably in deep sleep (bad time to wake up), if you're moving more, you're likely in light sleep (OK to wake up).

Not due to silly apps, but I go to bed an hour earlier, and read for an hour. An hour of lying down gives you a chance to adjust your bedding to get comfy, not too hot, not too cold (hopefully) and relaxes your body.

You can also get up, go to the grocery store and scan the barcode from the bottle you told the app to scan to turn off the alarm, and be back in bed asleep within 3 minutes.

Med fag here, want to wake up refreshed and in a good mood? Get these and set them to turn your lamp on 30 minutes before your alarm goes off

I've been using sleep as android for a while now and it's great.
It wakes me when I sleep the lightest and I configured it so I have to do a captcha kind of thing to make sure I don't fall back to sleep.
In the two years I've had the app it seems to be regularly getting updates too.
Initially I just downloaded some .apk somewhere but this turned out to be the only app I've ever bought.
