Below we present a few helpful apps that will keep track of a person’s sleep cycles in order to ensure they are getting proper sleep and also they wake up in the morning feeling refreshed.

Sleep Cycle

Sleep Cycle app is actually a very nice twist on the already present alarm clock app on your smartphones. The app makes use of a user’s microphone and keeps track of their sleeping patterns. It only wakes up the user in their lightest sleeping phase without them feeling groggy.

A user can set a time window in which they like to be woken up. For example, the user can set the time window from 7:00 to 7:30 am. The app figures on its own the right time to pull a user out of their deep slumber. In order to snooze the alarm, it compels the user to press the phone screen twice.

Apple Bedtime

For those of you who want to have much greater control over their wake-up timings; they need to make use of the Apple Bedtime app. This app is available as a part of a user’s Clock app and works much like the previously stated Sleep Cycle app. The one major difference of this app is that t lets the user set the exact time for letting the app wake them up.

A user can set the specific days of a week on which they want their alarm to go off such s the weekdays or the weekends only. User can also select as to how many hours they like to sleep and thus the app will automatically let the user know of the time when they should hit the hay. In addition to all this, the app will also give users push notifications before their bedtime.

Pillow

Pillow is the best app for those people who want to be aware of everything that is related to the way they are normally sleeping. Just like the Sleep Cycle and the Bedtime app, this app also keeps track of a user’s sleep cycles and wakes them in their lightest sleeping phase.

The one feature that sets it apart from other such apps is that it provides the user to set up times for a different kind of mid-day resting cycles like the following.

Power Naps for 15 minutes
Recovery naps for 45 minutes
Full cycle nap for 120 minutes

In addition to this, the app will also give the user the following information during their naps.
