Sleep And Relaxation Apps
Sleep Cycle App
It monitors and synchronizes with your sleeping patterns by using the accelerometer inside your phone. After placing your phone beside your pillow at night, the app will monitor your sleep movement throughout the night by plotting them on a graph which will show you how well you slept through the night. The graph over time can also show you how significant events and changes can affect your sleeping pattern so you can make adjustments if need be.
It also has an alarm system which is designed to wake you up just at the right time by working with your sleep rhythm and movements. For example, if it feels you’re now experiencing a light sleep phase it will wake you up. This feels better than just being jarred from a deep sleep with a noisy alarm and you have to force yourself to get out of bed and your brain will need an hour or more to catch up with the rest of your body.
It uses this data ease you into waking you up at the optimal time
