If you own an iPhone or a phone powered by Android, you might have heard of the "Sleep Cycle" app, which is supposed to work by monitoring your sleep and making sure it wakes you up when you are at your lightest point of sleep - which will leave you feeling much more awake than you would if you were awoken from a deep sleep. Of course, the question that comes to mind is: Does the Sleep Cycle app even work? The answer to this question is simple: It absolutely works, as the way in which your body moves will differ depending on the sleep cycle you are in, and the app tracks your movements to know when you are in deep sleep and when you are in lighter sleep! The app costs only 99 cents, and if you ever feel more tired than you should after a full night of sleep, you should certainly consider using this app - after all, as long as you use it correctly, it might be just the trick you have been needing to help you feel more awake! You will have to use this app with your phone plugged in, as the screen cannot be shut off during the night in order for the app to work (which is an inconvenience, of course - but this inconvenience is easy enough to deal with if it helps you wake up feeling more refreshed!). You will set the alarm for a certain time, and the Sleep Cycle app will wake you up within a 30 minute window of that time - whenever you hit a point in your sleep when you are finally in "light sleep." Once your phone is plugged in and the alarm has been set, just set the phone face-down near your head, with the top of the phone facing you (you can slip it under a corner of your sheet if you want, to keep yourself from knocking the phone off during the night), and you will be all set to sleep! In the morning, the Sleep Cycle app will wake you up when you are in your lightest state of sleep, and this will help you to start the day feeling rested and refreshed!
