Sleep Cycle: Your Ticket to a Better Night’s Sleep
Who needs a $3000 Tempur-Pedic mattress when a $1 iPhone app can give you a better night’s sleep? Sleep Cycle is a high-tech alarm clock that, using the iPhone’s accelerometer to sense your movement in bed, will wake you up in your lightest stage of sleep. Set the alarm and, within a 30 minute window, it will sound a peaceful noise when it calculates you’re in your most active sleep state. The app also provides a graph of your sleep movement and some handy slumber statistics.
After having used this app three nights in a row, I can personally attest to its effectiveness. Even with only three or four hours of sleep a night (busy week at work), I wake up in the morning feeling fresh as a flower. Or maybe that’s just a side effect of the “Forest Glade” wakeup tune I chose.
