There is no shortcut. Just get the fuck out of bed when your alarm goes off. No excuses.

EDIT: It does help a lot if you use an app on your phone which uses the movement sensor to detect when best to awaken you in a 30-60 min window. I use Sleep as Android because cloud backup, but I'm sure others are as good.

I'm a fan of Sleep As Android. Mostly I just love the slowly increasing volume thunderstorm in the distance alarm. Very mellow to wake up to. I also like the math catchpa to turn off the alarm.

I used to feel that pain. Here's what I do:

• Sleep for android
• Phone plugged in across the room
• QR code scan required to deactivate (no snoozing! just get the fuck up)
• QR code I have to scan is in my bathroom
• Wake up 1hr 20min before I need to walk out the door
• Coffee before leaving

Using this system gets me up without snoozing till the absolute last fucking minute every fucking day (seriously how did I live that way so long?! This is so much better), which gives me way more time to wake up and do activities before I depart.

I started the cup of coffee before my commute a year or 2 back (used to wait until I got TO work because free coffee) and I have never had my eyes droop since. I think the coffee was the biggest factor but I am so happy with the other changes I had to share.

TL;DR

Coffee before you commute, Sleep for Android QR scan changed my mornings for the better. Going to sleep can fuck off

Edit: Messed up the wording for the app. It is Sleep As Android

I like Sleep with Android. It appears gets better and better. Great for droids.

edit: Sleep as Android but sticking with Sleeping with Androids.

There's an app called Sleep as Android that tracks your sleep and adjusts your alarm clock within a choosen timeframe based on your phase of sleep. Never really worked for myself but other people seem to love it.

Try Sleep as Android

It has "captcha" feature for alarms. I use the one that requires me to get up and scan a QR code somewhere in the house, but that's not the only option.

You don't need to track your sleep if you don't want to, just use it as an alarm clock even after a trial period ends.

Sleep for Android does this for Android (duh). Aside from sensing using the accelerometer/gyroscope it can also use ultrasound sensing with the phone placed next to the bed.

It has a ton of other additional features such as logging and showing charts over your sleep history, playing lullabies, helping induce lucid dreaming and even using Wi-Fi connected lights as a sunrise simulator instead of using an alarm.

I have a QR code taped to my bathroom mirror. My phone's alarm won't turn off until I walk my tired self down the hall and into the bathroom to scan the QR code. Then, you're already in the bathroom, so you can just start getting ready.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en

Has math problems, QR scanning, NFC scanning, and a few other methods to keep you from just slapping the snooze button. Pretty nifty. Oh and it will track your sleep cycles and wake you up at a good time.

An sich keine blöde Idee, die Schlafdauer so zu timen dass man in einer Leichtschlafphase aufwacht... aber das fundamentale Problem bei dem Ansatz ist halt, dass man nur schwer die Kontrolle darüber hat wann genau man einschläft.

Ich empfehle den umgekehrten Ansatz: Nicht die Einschlafzeit anpassen, sondern die Weckzeit.
Da gibt's echt gute Apps für, ich nutze sleep as Android. Klingt auf den ersten Blick wie eine weitere schwachsinnige Lifestyle-Optimierungs-App, aber die bietet wirklich einen reellen Mehrwert.
Man legt sich das Handy mit auf die Matratze, und durch Mikrofon und Lagesensor merkt das Gerät wenn man gerade im Bett herumwühlt (also gerade nur im Leichtschlaf ist). Man stellt dann zum Beispiel ein dass man geweckt werden will, wenn irgendwann zwischen 6:00 und 6:30 eine Leichtschlafphase festgestellt wird. Auch wenn man dann netto vielleicht mal 20 Minuten weniger schläft als man eigentlich könnte, kommt man deutlich besser aus den Federn.

Sleep as Android has the same function, as well as other features like making you solve math problems or scan a QR code to turn off the alarm. I have a complicated relationship with the snooze button so that last piece is super helpful for me.

Sleep as Android

It does other cool things like track your sleep state via motion and try to wake you up outside of REM. Record snoring.

Or alternatively, just install Sleep As Android - it's possibly the best consumer sleep monitoring system out there. The new version has a sonar system which means you don't even need to put the phone on your bed anymore. Oh and Sleep automatically integrates with your smart lights and other home automation systems, so it can dim then lights at night, simulate the sunrise etc.

There are apps like Sleep as Android which track your sleep and are supposed to gauge when you're through a sleep cycle so it can wake you up when you're in a light sleep stage. It's worked for me pretty well, although I don't take a ton of naps.

Also if you have a Galaxy phone it's fairly easy to set up an alarm that requires you scan a NFC sticker to shut it off. I have my sticker in the kitchen by the coffee and the coffee set to be made by the time my phone is going off.

Works pretty well.

I use Sleep as Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en

Basically, you put your phone on your bed while its plugged in, and it feels the vibrations of when you're tossing and turning, so it knows where you are in your sleep cycle. You give it a time you want to wake up, but if it notices that you're in a certain sleep cycle, it'll wake you up up to 30 minutes early, so you're not in too deep of sleep.

Link to app This is the app, it uses sonar to detect your body movements to tell what type of sleep phase you're in and assesses your quality and duration from it! I am a student so making sure I get enough sleep is important to ensure my quality of work is maintained!

There's an android app which gives you a QR code for you to print off and tape to your bathroom mirror or something. Then the alarm doesn't switch off until you get out of bed and scan the QR code with your phone. It also uses GPS so it doesn't happen if you're not at home (that would suck).

edit:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Just this. AFAIK similar functionality is baked into iOS (along with blue light elimination, like f.lux), but since I do not own any Apple devices, I can't comment more.

Now, I do not know how it will work out for you if you're not sleeping alone. I'm single, noone beside me to disrupt the sensor and apps calculations. A smartwatch must be a solution, maybe?

Now, assuming you sleep alone, Sleep as Android is already configured almost perfectly out-of-the-box so all you have to do is enter the time of the alarm, initiate sleep tracking and put the phone on the bed with you. Simple as that. Based on the amount and the intensity of your movement the app will know the sleep phase you're into - deep sleep (ideally this phase should never be interrupted) or light sleep (this is when your body is almost awake and ready to wake up, even if you don't "feel" it). There's also REM phase, but let's forget about it for now.

Basically, to wake up without feeling like you've been just crushed by a bulldozer you need to 1) sleep long enough, for me it's no less than 6 hrs, and 2) be gently woken up in the middle of a light sleep phase. The app does the 2nd part, part 1 is up to you, but even when you don't sleep enough you still wake up feeling much better compared to what could've happened if you slept 4 hrs and woke up in the deep sleep phase.

Any more specific questions? Shoot em here or PM me, I'll gladly try to answer all of them because honestly that tiny price of what the dev asks for the full version was probably in the top 5 investments I made in my life so far.

Sleep As Android is the best Alarm Clock if you are remotely interested into analyzing your sleep-habits and if you can't wake up CAPTCHA Pack for Sleep as Android can fix that

There's an app called Sleep as Android in which you can choose from a selection of wake up challenges. It has some math with configurable difficulty, NFC tag scanning and even barcode scanning.

I have it set so that it let's me snooze 3 times before I have to get up, walk downstairs and scan the NFC tag before it shuts up.

I use Sleep as Android app to wake me up. It can track your sleep and wake you in the best moment, so you will not feel as much tired.

It actually works pretty good and I am able to get up relatively okay even if I can sleep only 4 or 5 hours a day.

Also, I did set up NFC sticker on my mirror in bathroom. That way, if I want to turn off the alarm, I have to get up and actually go there to scan it.

I personally find "Sleep as Android" much better. It has CAPTCHA style alarms that make it harder to sleep in. eg, maths equations, or scan a QR code in your bathroom...

Plus it integrates with Tasker, if you happen to like tinkering around with your phone.

Sleep As Android

Sleep As Android is an alarm app that uses phone sensors or any Android Gear to sense what stage of sleep you're in. Your phone is left on your bed or on your nightstand and collects data to learn what your usual sleep cycle is. It then uses this information to wake you up at a time that causes minimal damage to your sleep cycle. You can set a "Smart Period" for an alarm that tells the app to wake you up no earlier than (e.g.) 30 minutes before your alarm is set to go off.

Sleep As Android is $5.99 but a 7 day long trial can be extended one day by watching a 30 second long video. The app often goes on 50% sales every few weeks.

As a student who often feels tired in the morning and can never seem to get a good sleep schedule going, this app was incredibly helpful for me. The app is compatible on nearly all Android phones as it has a selection of usable sensors.

This app is absolutely 5 stars in my book, and I rarely see it on this subreddit. I highly recommend all of you to at least try it out for 7 days.

I started using Sleep for Android to track my sleep and as an alarm. It has a feature that requires you to solve a captcha to disable the alarm. Using it not only killed my over sleeping after a while. Just having to use my brain first thing when I wake I feel much more awake and alert. Its been a life changer!

edit This is the app

I've got one in my bathroom I have to scan to turn off my alarm in the morning. Check out Sleep as Android.

The app can be set as an admin, so you can't just close the app to bypass the alarm. Turning off the phone will only work if you leave it off for long enough, and at that point you're missing work. Easier to just head to the bathroom and scan the tag. By then, my Hue lights in the bathroom are on, I can pee and start my day!

There are absolutely alarm apps that will do this. If you're using Android, check out Sleep As Android. It has some of the more creative ways to keep an alarm engaging for someone like me who can be very hard to wake up.

I use an alarm app that refuses to turn off until I hold the phone by an NFC tag, which I put in my shower stall. That almost always works— if I've dragged my ass to the shower, I might as well get in, and once I'm showering I wake up pretty reliably.

Edited to add: the app is "Sleep as Android"

Thanks for the fantastic post. I would like to add the system I use to get to bed and get up on time in case others struggle with that like I did.

I highly recommend the app Sleep As Android it took me years of tweaking before I was finally able to set up a system to beat my stupid brain and get out of bed with 1 alarm no matter what. I did it using that app.

Here's what I did to wake up for work without issue for years without fail:

• Learn about sleep intervals www.sleepyti.me and aim for them to avoid waking up during a REM cycle.
• Sleep As Android
• Phone plugged in across the room
• QR code scan required to deactivate (no snoozing! just get the fuck up)
• QR code I have to scan is in my bathroom
• Wake up 1hr 20min before I need to walk out the door
• Coffee before leaving if you find your eyes drooping on the road. These days I don't drink caffeine until after 9:30am if at all.

I applied the same technique to getting to bed on time, which is actually equally as important to getting up and establishing a good circadian rhythm:

• My alarm goes off at bedtime and being unable to turn the alarm off unless I go upstairs forces me to go up to my bathroom.

• Since I am up there anyway I usually decide to brush my teeth and take out my contacts and engage in the rest of my evening routine.

• Since I have a book to read sitting by my bed, I am usually not averse to just hopping in bed and achieving my bedtime goal.

If I want to get the right amount of sleep I have to do this at 10:00pm! which is insanely difficult for a person who used to like to stay up until at least 1:00am and damn the consequences!

The system works great for me. Hope it helps someone.

Edit: Fixed www.sleepyti.me link

Sleep as Android will do you one better and wake you up when it detects motion within a predefined period, hopefully waking you out of light sleep so you don't feel groggy.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

There's an app called <em>Sleep as Android</em> (I don't believe theres an iOS version) that tracks your sleep patterns, can record audio that breaks a certain volume limit at night to see if you talk in your sleep or snore, and also has a Lucid Dream function which does exactly what you're talking about. After you've used it a few nights and it has picked up on your sleep patterns, it'll say a message like you're talking about. I haven't had success with it personally, but I've also never had a lucid dream at all. I would give it a shot, as it doesn't require you wear headphones or listen to white noise for a long time while you sleep.

I've heard good things about Sleep as Android if you're still interested (unless that's the app you were complaining about, lol).

There is a paid version of the app as well, but the free version should be fine. It also appears there is a "2 week trial" of the paid features.

P.S.: Google Play has a refund policy as well for paid apps, so you could sort of treat that a a "free trial" I guess.

I know that you were asking for a way to do this using Tasker, but if you don't find a solution, I use Sleep as Android everyday. I absolutely love it.

You don't have to, but you can also set your phone on your bed at night. The app will wake you up when you are in your lightest sleep phase (by monitoring the accelerometers).

For example: set alarm for 6AM. It'll wake you up between 5:15 (or whatever time period you choose) and 6AM. I have mine to only go of when I scan an NFC tag that's next to my shower in the bathroom.

Sleep as Android lets you do this. Long click on the alarm inside the app and you can select "Turn off next" or something (I have different language).

Also the notification that appears before the alarm go off has a option to turn it off too.

That's an app.

I use Sleep as Android myself, but there are plenty of other apps able to do similar things (math problems, scan captcha/NFC, move phone a certain distance...)

Se me permites a sugestão, eu não tenho grandes problemas com os vizinhos mas tenho um pouco de tinido e já há uns anos que adormeço com ruído de fundo. O que faço é colocar headphones com som de chuva ou algo do género que me embala até adormecer.

A vantagem é que não só bloqueia o ruído de fundo como também me distrai dos meus problemas em alturas que ando mais stressado.

Há uns anos atrás andava tão stressado que não conseguia adormecer e desde que experimentei isso nunca mais tive grandes problemas em dormir.

Pontos extra para poderes ter vários sons de fundo diferentes. Quando me canso da chuva costumo colocar este ruído de fundo que me embala muito bem até adormecer.

Pontos extra-extra instala a app Sleep As Android que, para além de ter montes de sons para adormecer, tem o melhor despertador que já vi, faz tracking às horas e à qualidade de sono e ainda te dá dicas para dormir melhor quando deteta problemas no teu sono. 5/5!

One on your phone. For android, there's one called Sleep As Android that has a bunch of different "you gotta do this to shut off your alarm" options. Simple math, complex math, etc. I'm sure there are others, but this one has worked for me.

I use a custom QR code that I printed out and taped to the wall in my washroom. I cannot shut off my alarm without scanning that code, so by the time my alarm is off I'm standing in front of my bathroom sink with the lights on, and it's more hassle to sneak back to bed than to just get on with my day.

SleepAsAndroid

Non-blaring gradually rising alarm + smart period

Example: 7am concrete wakeup time, can set so around 6:55 begins slowly getting louder to the sounds of say crickets or seagulls, or ocean waves, or a storm, etc (natural sounds)

In addition can set so if between 6:30-7 it detects you are in light sleep will trigger the alarm early so that you don't get woken up during deep sleep

If you have Phillips hue you can get an app for Android called sleep as android not only does it do a sunrise alarm, it monitors your sleep and makes the alarm go off during light sleep, so you're not woken up feeling groggy. It really is a game changer, and much like writing down everything you eat makes you conscious of all the calories it saves sleep stats so you are more conscious about getting enough rest. The best thing is it's free - though I liked it so much o purchased the upgrades!

Your phone should have a programmable "which days do you want the alarm for?" setting.

I use this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

Too many settings to go into, loads of options for types of alarm "answer a maths question, fill in a dreamdiary" etc. It's rad.

woke up today with a sleep cycle alarm app and the blinds open and i feel super refreshed even though i got 1.5 less hours of sleep than yesterday. i'd recommend you guys try one too if you aren't already the one I used is sleep for android though they were a bunch to try from on both android and ios i think. also less than a week left till the semester starts sigh

Sleep as Android allows you to use Spotify as an alarm which I find works well to mix things up. It just resumes from the last song you were listening to, so if you use Spotify everyday you should get a good mix without any extra work.

I have an sleep tracking / alarm app that requires you to scan a QR code to shut off the alarm. I put the code in my bathroom so when I go to turn it off... well, I'm already up so I might as well shower. Take a cold shower when you wake up too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

If you're looking to get on a normal schedule, try setting the alarm a few minutes earlier every day. First time at 2:00pm, then the next night at 1:45, then 1:30, etc until you get to the desired time. Avoid any food 3-4 hours before you go to bed. I slightly had this problem (going to bed at 1:00, wake up at 10) and now I'm on a constant schedule of waking up at 6:00-7:00 every day feeling good.

I used to wake up, feeling dopey as fuck, most of the time. Sometimes I'd be ok, but others I was dead to the world -- and I felt that way all day. As it turned out, the problem was one of timing -- I'd be getting approximately 6.5 hours of sleep per night, meaning I was always waking up in the deep sleep part of a sleep cycle.

I have an alarm app on my phone (Sleep as Android [1], specifically) that uses the microphone and accelerometer to guess when you're in the shallow part of a sleep cycle, and wake you up (up to 20ish mins earlier than your alarm, if need be) at the optimal time.

Dunno if it'll work for you, but it's worth checking out.

Sleep as Android for sleep tracking.

there's Samsung Health but I'm not sure how does it compare to Google Fit since I don't use either of them, and I don't even know if Sleep as Android is compatible with any of them, heh.

The one I use is Sleep as Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep), but I have a feeling it might be on iOS too and just called Sleep.

It works fine, and has lots of settings to play around with (length of flexible wake up periods, increasing alarm volumes).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en_US

Its got captchas to turn off your alarm, I do the "multi captcha" with math problems and I have to shake my phone for like a minute or so...you can adjust the difficulty too. For a bit there I just got better at sleep math and would fall back asleep. If you set it on medium or hard though, it'll wake you up...you might hate your phone for the first 20 min you are awake, but it works.

Try Sleep as Android, within the tons of functions, you can set an alarm to notify you when it's the best time to go to sleep.

well. good to know you can even safeword unconciously! Not a bad thing really. yeah you could use a second safe word... but like you said that is problematic. Can i suggest a longer term solution?

Have him wake you up anyhow. even if you safeword or tap out, have him go ahead and wake you up gently.

it sounds like your body is in sleep mode.. and your body is uncocously trying to stay asleep. I'm guessing you hit your snooze a fair amount as well?

by waking you up anyhow... your going to teach your body that "safewording" doesn't let you go back to sleep... in fact it leads to you being awakened fully anyhow. be very thoughtful about this, since there could be grumpy moments. but the key here is to wake up, sit-up, talk for a moment about how you safeworded, and it is ok, you will just need to try again. the kind of conversation you can't sleeptalk your way through. lol.

Another thought. there are "sleep" timer apps that try to gently wake you up by monitoring your movement in bed. they try to guess where you are in your sleep cycle and wake you gently. this is the one i've used for this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

basically the way we do it is... let the app wake us up "gently" then I could let my partner start to snooze off again and then intiate sex. this way i know she isn't in a deep sleep... its worked for us. since its a distincitve wake-up that it uses that is diffrent then the usual alarm, it signals to her that I am going to be initiating something in the net few minutes. we don't do it often, but when we do, when the gentle alarm sounds she will roll on her side and curl up so i can get the access i need to start things off, all while stil asleep.

I use sleep as Android and have a QR code in the bathroom so to stop the alarm I have to scan that QR code. And when you are inches away from the shower you just can't get back to bed.

I use Sleep as Android. It's got a lot of features including different kinds of wake up tests and gets updated frequently. The pro version is also discounted atm

I was wondering the same so I did some sleep tracking with a smartphone, time sleeping per day averaged to same number of hours (over few day window) with weird precision, regardless of taking naps or not, sleeping earlier or later etc.

At least for my N=1 experiment with subject being me, the answer is definitely yes.

That doesn't guarantee it will be the same for anybody else.

Sleep as Android if you are on Android is also quite good. (Although I stopped using it since I have to use a dock to charge my phone)

How in the world is Sleep as Android not on this list? I've been using it for a few years now and it's worth every cent. Love being able to track how much and how well I'm sleeping. I also make use of an NFC tag to dismiss my alarm.

What kind of phone or app requires you to enter a user specified password to turn the alarm off? The app I'm familiar with, Sleep as Android gives you options like math or a dream diary, but not a PIN or password. Though NFC or QR codes are options.

That's the reason I use a sleep cicle app on my phone. I am still surprised how good it works. :)

€: Am using sleep as android

It has a bunch of optional features, so it doesn't fit your "simple" requirement but I've been using this app for about 6-7 years now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

> Sleep for Android

I think you mean Sleep <strong>as</strong> Android. This is an awesome app. It can tie into wearable devices to track sleep and also for alarms. This way I get a vibration on my watch. If I don't respond to the vibration, then it will start an audible alarm that slowly increases in volume. This makes for a peaceful wake up in the morning and a stealthy alarm during the day.

If you have an android phone and are interested in this go download Sleep as Android. Tracks your sleep and wakes you up during light sleep, along with a bunch of other stuff.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I used to feel that pain. Here's what I do after trying a lot of stuff:

• Learn about sleep intervals Sleepti.me and aim for them to avoid waking up during a REM cycle.
• Sleep As Android
• Phone plugged in across the room
• QR code scan required to deactivate (no snoozing! just get the fuck up)
• QR code I have to scan is in my bathroom
• Wake up 1hr 20min before I need to walk out the door
• Coffee before leaving if you find your eyes drooping on the road. If not my recent delve into when to drink coffee says around 9:30am.

Using this system gets me up without snoozing till the absolute last fucking minute every fucking day (seriously how did I live that way so long?! This is so much better), which gives me way more time to wake up and do activities before I depart.

I started the cup of coffee before my commute a year or 2 back because my eyes would be drooping on the road. Coffee gave me that extra kick I needed back then. I no longer need the pre-work cup, but it did help back then.

There are a billion different possibilities here, but as someone who has struggled with this his entire waking life, here are the things I've found work pretty well.

• Work out in the morning, trying weight lifting or sprints over long cardio
• Get enough good sleep. Use an app like Sleep as Android to see if it's a problem worth greater investigation
• Consider supplementing Vitamin D ( I take > 6000 IU in winter)
• Consider supplementing B Vitamins. I'm pretty sure this is what 5-hour energy does.

You could always try using an app like Sleep as Android which is set to record noises made in your sleep! It should be reasonably effective, I remember it from when it was used in the post with the probable intruder. If it could pick something like that up, it can probably get your dog.

Personally I'm testing white noise at the moment, as a way to prevent my mind from thinking about a million things, when I want to fall asleep. I'm using this app but I imagine there are tons of others to generate white noise with your phone. Just remember to put the phone in flight-mode, so you won't be woken up by notifications of a new facebook message.

Sleep as Android - watches for movement on your bed during the night to record the quality of your sleep - also detects when you're already sleeping lightly (ie, not in REM sleep) and can set off your morning alarm to wake you up as gently as possible.

Yes, and the Samsung health app can't even begin to touch it. I've been using it for a few years now. Watch integration is great.

The one I'm looking at has a 4.5⭐ rating, over 10 million downloads and is editors choice so I'm going to say "no."

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Google Fit on its own does not track sleep. It does accept input from other sleep tracking apps however. Sleep as Android is a popular one.

Sleep as Android does this for free.
It does support using e.g. bracelets for heart rate detection, but they are not required. You can use either motion detection (placing the phone on the bed) or ultrasound (placing the phone next to the bed).

Ci sono app che ti permettono di avere un approccio brutale alla sveglia, tipo Sleep as Android.

Puoi impostare che per disattivare la sveglia sia necessario risolvere un'operazione matematica (scegli tu la difficoltà) o – ancora più hardcore – scansionare un codice QR.

L'idea del codice QR è che te lo piazzi in bagno davanti al lavandino e, una volta che sei lì, ormai ti lavi la faccia e ci sei.

Sinceramente non sono un gran fan di sistemi del genere, ma conosco persone che ne hanno tratto beneficio, quindi boh :)

Install Sleep as Android as your alarm clock. Have it wake you up at the desired time. The app uses the phone's gyro sensors to track your sleep cycles and wakes you up a little earlier if that's when you are in light sleep and less likely to be groggy.

In the app's settings, select the option where in order to silence the alarm you have to scan a specific barcode. Take the barcode from your shampoo bottle and make that the barcode to scan. This way you are guaranteed to be in the shower every morning. Just remember to take off your clothes.

You are welcome!

A subtle feature of the Nexus 5 that I really like is that it can gather accelerometer data without holding a wakelock. So, for example, when tracking my sleep with Sleep as Android, there is no extra battery drain. Or again, in the latest version of Tasker, there is a really neat "Motion Detection" option that stops Tasker's regular checks (location, cell near etc.) until "significant motion" is detected, which should also save some battery.

I've been using Sleep as Android for years. It's fantastic. The optional "captcha" feature to turn off an alarm is a lifesaver in the morning when I'm sleepy, and the sleep tracking works well. It's also good just for normal alarms.

I use Sleep as Android and it's great. Has a lot of options for alarms and can track your sleep patterns plus a lot of other stuff.

I hate jarring alarm sounds. They seem to put me on edge for the rest of the day.

Here you go

Sorry, I'm using 'Sleep as Android', and most probably the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

I wake up at 7am, and so the alarm rings anytime between 7 am and 30 minutes beforehand (custom time setting), depending on how awake I already am (the phone motion sensor detects that). Also, the alarm rings at a really low level, and then gradually increases in volume over 10 minutes (another custom time setting). It's a really gentle wake-up for me.

The paid version costs $3.99, one-time. I don't think I have the paid version, but am not sure of how to check that on my phone.

I highly recommend the app Sleep As Android it took me years of tweaking before I was finally able to set up a system to beat my stupid brain and get out of bed with 1 alarm no matter what. I did it using that app.

I recently applied the same principle to getting to bed on time, which is actually equally as important to getting up and establishing a good circadian rhythm. Being unable to turn the alarm off unless I go upstairs forces me to go up to my bathroom.

Since I am up there I usually decide to brush my teeth and take out my contacts. Since I have a book to read sitting by my bed, I am usually not averse to just hopping in bed and achieving my bedtime goal. If I want to get the right amount of sleep i have to do this at 10:00pm! which is insanely difficult for a person who used to like to stay up until at least 1:00am and damn the consequences!

The system works great for me. Hope it helps

Eu uso uma aplicação (Sleep as Android) para controlar os meus ciclos de sono/despertar/meia dúzia de outras coisas e hoje reparei que dá para ver uma série de estatísticas sobre os vários utilizadores. Como a dimensão da amostra em Portugal até é relativamente grande (48358 utilizadores) achei que os resultados eram interessantes (valem o que valem, claro) e que gostariam de ver também...

Sleep As Android is probably the app you're referring to. I use it sometimes.

I can definitely say that the sleep tracking and what not is not integrated into Android. Though I wouldn't doubt that Play Services tracks movements, etc and sends all that data to google (I mean, the Play Services ask for like every permissions possible..)

I use Sleep as Android (Play Store link). It has several failsafe settings like math puzzles and such, extensive snooze settings and the option to try to wake you up while in light sleep (within a given timeframe).

I tried integrating it with Tasker using intents a good while back, but eventually reverted back to manual operation. Haven't tested recently, but I think I read it actually has official Tasker support now!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep get sleep as android and set a captcha. Some of the more effective ones are the qr code and nfc tag. You set the app to the qr code or nfc tag and put the relevant item somewhere far away from your bed. The alarm can't go off without you scanning it with your phone. There is also math and a bunch of other things, but I've realized that sleepy me can do arithmetic pretty well now, so much so that I don't even realise I've turned off my alarm.

EDIT: also something to try is to get really fucking bright ass light. You can either set it on a timer (those ones that you get for plug points) or switch it on yourself. The light is important because it triggers biological events that are important for your Circadian rhythm.

Make sure you are properly hydrated before you go to sleep as dehydration makes you groggy. You need more water than you think, because you will sleep for 8 hours, perspiring with no fluid intake, and depending on circumstances you will lose 200-1000 ml of water. Also, have a glass of water as you wake up. First thing you do is you down the water.

and the last thing I can suggest is have good sleep hygiene. No electronics for a while before bed, absolutely zero artificial light in your room. I've read that even one blinking LED can drastically reduce sleep quality. Same goes for noise. Make sure you aren't too hot or cold.

That is pretty much everything I know about this subject and I hope you can find something in there of use

It looks similar to Sleep as Android which is an app I swear by. There's also an iOS alternative which is SleepBot I think?

The way a lot of these work is that you lay it on your bed as you sleep and it measures how much you're moving through vibrations in the bed. If you're moving then you're in lighter sleep, if you're completely still you're in deep sleep.

The best thing though is that these apps have an alarm clock that wakes you up at a point within a window (you can set how long, mines set to 20) that is your lightest sleep. It genuinely works as well. I've used it for about a year and a half now and literally never wake up groggy. I highly highly recommend it.

If you're using Android, the app "Sleep as Android" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en) is a great one too :) It's kind of an all-in-one package with different options for turning off alarm (solving math problems with adjustable difficulty, picking out an awake sheep in a herd of sleeping sheep, shaking the phone, or scanning a QR or bar-code which I've found pretty effective :) For example you could scan the bar-code on your toothpaste so that every morning to turn off the alarm you have to go into the bathroom and scan your toothpaste.

If you put your phone in your bed with you it can try to keep track of your sleep so that it can attempt to wake you up when it thinks you are at the end of an REM cycle too :)

Sorry if it seems like I am writing an ad, lol.

Other than that there are other reasons you could be fatigued. Low iron levels maybe? Like cdubose said, it's probably a good idea to visit a doctor just to rule out any common medical reasons

I've always had a difficult time with sleep issues myself, and Sleep as Android has been a life saver for me! The best feature is that it detects your motion as you sleep and so will wake you up when you are in a light sleep phase rather than a deep sleep (when you're not moving). Waking up during deep sleep makes you feel so drained but I can sleep for 4 hours or less and wake up during light sleep and feel perfectly fine! It's awesome!

get Sleep as Android and put your phone on your mattress when you go to bed. It will monitor your movement with the accelerometer during your sleep and wake you up before your alarm time during a phase when you are moving (i.e. light sleep cycle), yes you might not get your desired max amount of time but still tons better than being woken up in the middle of REM sleep.

I used to have this issue, but I switched to Sleep as Android and have stuck with it for years without issue.

My favorite part about it is that you can make it so you need to solve math equations before you can turn your alarm off. As someone who is a little too willing to turn off my alarm and go back to sleep, it's been amazing.

Imam ovu aplikaciju mislim da i ona može snimati zvukove ali sam ugasio. Morat ću upaliti.

Šta je najgore ako me nešta pitaš, dok tako pričam u snu, ja ću ti odgovoriti i razgovarati s tobom

No. But with Android I'm pretty sure you can use Sleep as Android.

> - Spotify and Play Music integration or online radio alarms or lullabies

i use Sleep as Android, there are probably more out there.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=de

It's filled with lots of features i don't use, maybe a slicker app exists, i don't know.

Not to crap on all the great work you've done here. Might look into, Sleep As Android, does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. I love this app.

This will probably only be seen by OP, but whatever.

Go download "Sleep as android" off of Goolge Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

(There's surely many others who will do the exact same but this is what I use.)

It has many options for wake up Captchas , from simple math to my favorite, NFC/QR code scanning. To dismiss my alarm I have to go downstairs and scan the NFC tag by my front door.

If you don't want to use NFC, it can work with any QR code, just generate one, or use a random one, hang it in your bathroom, never oversleep again.

do you also drink alcohol "brew" before you sleep, you might not be getting the full nights sleep you think you are getting, especially if you have trouble waking

the app i would recommend is sleep as; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

you set it up before you sleep and leave it on your bed(somewhere where it will not be knocked off) and it tracks(using your phones sensors) your motion as you sleep, helping to determine restlessness during the night when you aren't fully asleep

it also does have an alarm built in that wakes you up gradually

also not related to android apps, i would suggest trying melatonin, a natural sleep aid that gives just enough of a drowsy feeling that may allow you to sleep a bit sooner then you normally would allowing you extra sleep time

Sleep as Android! It's been a life changer for me. Literally never woke up feeling grumpy because it always wakes me up in when I'm in my light sleep phase. I've also paired it with my Hue lights so it simulates a sunrise, and it automatically turns on the nightlight (red light so it doesn't blind you) if I wake up in the middle of the night. Even gives you advice based on your sleeping patterns and tracks your social jetlag. Very very cool app, can't recommend it enough.

Combination of three methods :

• The 4-7-8 breathing technique which is one of the only things I've tried which really works. 4 second inspiration, 7 second block your breath, 8 second expiration, start again.

• While I do this, I try to focus on a blank spot between my two eyes that gradually expands to occupy most of the space between them.

• Sleep as Android. Changed my life - and sleep cycle.

Sleep As Android

Similar to Alarmy. I use it for the QR Code Captcha to disable the alarm.

It also has Lullabies, Sleep/Snoring monitoring, Soothing Alarm Noises if you're into that.

Get a cheap Android phone (like the $19 Net10 LG,) and use Sleep As Android. It's far more accurate and has many more functions, including sleep cycle approximation w/ adaptive alarm time. It's a great app.

SAA only works from your body movement, but in informal testing by my gf and me, we've found it to be better at judging where we are in our sleep cycles than my Fitbit Charge HR.

Get an app like Sleep as Android, and program in your captcha as a QR code. Then, keep the QR code somewhere other than your bedroom. I have mine mounted on the inside of the door of my medicine cabinet, in the washroom.

In order to turn the alarm off, I have to get up, go to the washroom, open the door there, turn on the light, and scan the QR code. Otherwise, it just keeps ringing.

Just make sure to set "snooze" limits, etc.

Sleep As ~~a Droid~~ Android does this. This one. It uses phone's internal accelerometer to measure your movement during sleep, to determine which stage you're in.

It also has a whole bunch of other useful features, such as having to scan a QR code (or NFC tag) in your bathroom, so you're forced to actually get up.

Get your sleeping schedule consistent and make sure you're getting enough. When your body tells you it's tired, listen.

I use this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Don't eat junk food. Buy a crock pot if you have to and cook as much as possible.

Essentially, live a healthy life. Most people don't. But we don't get the option not to. Your body will not tolerate mistreatment like a normal person.

It's not going to work 100% for everyone, but I went from three medications and regular flares, to one medication and only occasional flares of a lower severity.

A lot of us start with this disease when we are relatively young, and we still want to live like we are young. But once you're diagnosed, you're middle aged whether you like it or not. Or at least you have to behave that way.

Sleep as Android is the way. It's meant for regular alarm clock use, but has the most customizable alarms I've ever seen. I used to use a Waluigi amiibo as an NFC input to turn off my morning alarm, but now I have it set so it makes you solve a math problem to turn it off.

I have an app that (you can setup so it) requires you to print a QRcode and put it somewhere distant from your bed (I put mine in the bathroom) and it won't stop until you scan it. Does lots of other useful tricks, too.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en\_US&amp;gl=US

I use "sleep as android" on my android phone and ticwatch pro. I'm not disappointed.

I wonder if it's the same app that you have already tried.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Another suggestion to help get up, an alarm app the you can set that you need to do a puzzle or maths to dismiss. If you have an android phone this app is great, I'm sure there's an iPhone equivalent too.

So, this blew up! Welcome to /r/androidapps!

Morning:

• 8:00am Wake up to the vibration of my watch, which is controlled by the Sleep as Android app to wake me up within 30 minutes of my alarm but only if I'm in a light sleep cycle. If I don't feel the vibration after a couple minutes the phone alarm kicks in. The only way to turn it off is by going to the bathroom and pressing my phone against an NFC tag in there. Once I quit the Sleep app, Tasker automatically turns off airplane mode.
• 8:30am: Eat breakfast, check reddit (Relay), mail (Outlook), news (Yahoo Digest). Put stuff on my to do list (My Effectiveness). Check the weather (Weather Timeline)
• 9:00am: Get in car to drive. Phone connects to bluetooth automatically and, sensing the car bluetooth, prompts me (Tasker) with nice big buttons to open either Spotify, Pocketcast, Audible, or Google Maps. I listen to music, podcasts, or my book as I drive. It also turns off WiFi (Tasker).
• 9:05am: I remember I need to send off an email. Since I'm driving, I tell my watch (Pebble via the Note to Self app) to remind me to send an email to Elaine at 10:00am.
• 9:30am: Arrive at work, phone disconnects from car bluetooth and re enables WiFi (Tasker). I note the deck I parked at with the little sticky note on my desktop (seNotes) so I don't wander around looking like a fool.
• 9:32am: On my way in I quickly check my schedule (Snap Widget Drawerwith Event Flow Widget in it). I park further away so I can walk more (leading lifestyle and all that), and quickly glancing on my watch note that I did 1500 steps so far (Pebble Health, synced with Google Fit).
• 9:45am: Get to work, walking briskly and pretend like I have a lot to do so I don't have to talk to people. Browse reddit, etc.
• 10:00am: Check my to-do again and set up my pomodoro because I don't feel like working but I need to anyways (My Effectiveness, ClearFocus, all inside Pop Up Widget 2, triggered by swiping up on an app icon in Nova Launcher). Watch gives me a little tap, reminding me to email Elaine.

Lunch:

• 12:00pm: have some lunch and watch Netflix on PC, browsing reddit (Relay), texting (awSMS), checking politics (Politico) and news (NPR). Go to the bathroom, my watch vibrates twice to let me know I left my phone at my desk (fuck!). My phone, detecting it is no longer connected to my watch, automatically locks (SmartLock setting in 6.0) itself so people would need to enter my pin code. Get a snack and put the price I spent in to my budget, watching as my "food" budget for the month shrinks by a dollar (YNAB).

Afternoon:

• 3:00pm: get a notification on my watch that Elisa wants to meet with me. I check my calendar (Etar) then reply on my PC (Pushbullet). Then I notice a notification that Google wants me to fill out a survey for money (Google Rewards).
• 3:30pm: to calm down any feeling of anxiety, I recheck my to do and prioritize based on how important (objectively needs to get done) and how urgent (constantly on my mind) a task is (My Effectiveness).
• 5:00pm: go home. Phone turns off wifi inside the car and I listen to a book I'm reading (Seveneves via Audible).
• 5:30pm: when I get home my phone automatically connects to my WiFi (Tasker) and, detecting the home wifi, opens up my lock app (August) so I can unlock my door. After I tap the app to unlock my door, I go to home screen and tap my widget to turn my PC on (Unified Remote)

Evening:

• 5:40pm: at home I open up my to do list (My Effectiveness) and see I didn't do anything on it. I look at my watch and see I only made 5000 steps today. Go eat dinner and relax. Do chores, etc.
• 8:50pm: get a notification (Pushbullet and Tasker) on my PC that my phone is low on battery, so I plug it in by my bed via the slow charger.
• 9:00pm: brush my teeth and log it because I'm trying to make a habit of doing so every day (Loop Habit Tracker). Note that tomorrow is my workout day (StrongLifts) and that I need to go if I don't want to break my workout streak. I remind myself I can also finally restart running the C25K plan, smile that I don't need to take my phone to my runs (C25K app via Pebble). (If instead of this I stay at my computer, my PC will eventually notify me that my phone is fully charged (Tasker, Pushbullet)).
• 9:05pm: Once I turn off all the lights except the lamp by my bed, the phone detects the small amount of light and dims the screen to 50% below the minimum that the default can do (Darker). Go to bed and play around on Reddit. Because I'm adventurous I use Slide instead of Relay. Note that my phone has a slight yellowish tint (CF Lumen) so my eyes are comfortable.
• 9:06pm: get back to Relay because I'm used to it.
• 9:10pm: go back to Slide instead of Relay because it's cool. Then switch back to Relay again.
• 9:15pm: open Tasker and think of more Tasker things to do
• 9:20pm: remembering that I forgot to turn my PC off, I grumble and halfway get up from bed. Then I remember I don't have to, so I just turn my PC off via my phone (Unified Remote).
• 9:30pm: open random apps over and over thinking "I could be reading my Kindle right now".
• 9:58pm: Alternatively, whack the bird with my stored videos on SD card (Solid Explorer) or with fresh stuff (MyVidster). Note the lack of ads and giggle (Adaway).
• 10:00pm: open up Sleep as Android and have it track my sleep. The phone detects I opened it up so it puts my phone on Airplane mode, then re enables NFC and bluetooth (Tasker, Secure Settings).
• 12:00am: wake up for whatever reason or just still on my phone, note that the phone screen becomes tinted a reddish color (CF Lumen).

Edit:

• My Tasker export
• My opinion on Pebble Watch

Sleep as Android is great alternative with more features

Started using Sleep as Android and I've never had an easier time waking up in the morning. Feel refreshed as opposed to groggy every morning. I was originally really skeptical and used it on the weekends to see how it worked, and after testing it for 2 weeks i bit the bullet and paid the $5 (I think) to get the full version. Paid for it using Google Opinion Rewards. Answered small surveys every couple days to earn free money. It's how i pay for all my apps. I'm also a fan of the Twilight app, which i also bought the pro version using GOA. Makes reading at bought before bed easier on my eyes. I also use IF in order to automate the volume on my phone as well as a few other things to make my day a little easier.

Just a couple apps I'm sure Android users would like for their phones if they don't already have them.

Edit: >Sleep Cycle is the same thing as Sleep as Android for iPhone users

As per /u/IchBinGelangweilt

Morning

• 6:20 watch vibrates once every 10 seconds on my wrist until I wake up (Sleep as Android makes sure I wake in a shallow sleep cycle). I rate my sleep and store the sleep track info along with the heart rate data the app recorded using my watch.
• the screen of my watch is still dimmed, but as soon as the sun rises Bubble Cloud Watchface will restore my daytime screen brightness.
• my watchface shows the watch has 47% battery left, I put it on charger while I take my shower. Bubble Cloud Watchface will ring my phone when the watch is finished charging.
• I boil 2 eggs for breakfast, I set timer using voice command
• I watch the morning news during breakfast using Haystack TV, I control volume, skip news items from my wrist, using Haystack's notification
• I check the date displayed on my watch face to know if it's even or odd day for my heart medication
• I check the weather and set reminders for the day using voice commands on the watch
• calendar alarm goes off on my watch at 7:30, get ready to leave for work

On the way to work

• I leave for work on foot: I use a bluetooth headset, but start the podcast from my watch using BeyondPod's Wear app (otherwise BeyondPod is pretty autonomous queuing my various podcasts in the order I like them, but I can easily skip ads and even full podcasts using my watch)
• My watch notifies me, as I receive a few "almost late" homeworks from my students via email. Touchless Notifications reads out the first few sentences of these emails (in my headset), but I send acknowledgement messages using voice reply on the watch while walking, never needing to access my phone.
• I get on the bus, and before starting to read my kindle I switch to Google Music's classical music radio using my watch. I thumbs up titles I like to tweak Google Music's selection to my taste. I never need to take out the phone from my pocket.
• On the bus Touchless Notifications reads an incoming Hangouts message in my headset, which I can respond to using a pair of hand-drawn emojis on my watch, so people on the bus are not freaked out by Inspector Gadget talking to his watch.
• I switch back to my podcast as I get off the bus, because I like to listen to talk shows while walking.

At work

• As I enter the school building a reminder pops up which I set for work, to pick up my contract at the secretariat. Since it’s a little late before my class, I set another reminder for 10 o’clock to remind me to do it after the class using voice. Since I am in the school building I am a bit more conscientious, so I don't call "Okay google" but double press my watch face for voice command.
• I access my emails on the school computer. I log into my gmail using 2-factor authentication. Authenticator is available on my watch via one tap on the first page of Bubble Cloud Launcher.
• During my class I can easily see how much time is left of the class because the Bubble Cloud Watch-face changes color with the minute of the hour. When it turns purple I know I have to finish soon, when it’s blue we are over time…
• Since I have Hourly chime installed on my watch, it vibrates at exactly 10:00
• The reminder appears on my watch at the end of the lesson so I don’t forget to get my papers.

After the morning class

• I look up a photo print shop near the school and use my watch to navigate there.
• I control the podcast playback, and respond to a few messages using my watch as I walk.
• On street corners the watch vibrates, and shows me which street to take until I reach my destination.
• I pay using my less used credit card, I check my pin code in Safe in Cloud on my watch. It’s also on the first page of Bubble Cloud Launcher, so I only need to swipe once and tap.
• I get the bank notification on my watch about the successful payment.
• My watch reminds me to buy groceries. In the store I check off items in Google Keep on my watch. I opened Keep by double clicking on its bubble, so Bubble Clouds will automatically re-open the Keep app even after I go back to my watch-face to respond to messages (sticky open function).
• I get back to my home office. I use Wear Stand up alert to remind me to take a few steps every hour
• During lunch I control the TV (Netflix) using my watch

Afternoon

• I check my watch-face (Bubble Clouds) to see when the sun sets today. I want to take a few photos in the nearby park using the golden light immediately before the sun sets. Fall foliage is beautiful this year. I take my dogs too.
• I use the screen lock function of Bubble Clouds to prevent accidental touches as I play with my dogs at the park
• In the park I check my watch-face (Bubble Clouds) how many steps I need to the magic 20,000 today. The step counter bubble is still yellow: I need over 6000 steps before it turns green, so we take the longer route home.

Evening

• As I arrive home, it’s already dark, and Bubble Clouds already switched to the evening brightness on my watch.
• I realize I don’t have enough firewood, I have to go to my garden shed for wood. It’s pretty dark outside, but I use my watch as a flashlight (also on the first page of Bubble Cloud launcher)
• I light the fire in the fireplace, and I realize I don’t even know where my phone is. I use the Find my phone bubble in Bubble clouds to ring my phone. The sound comes from the hall where my coat hangs. As soon as I take out the phone from the pocket, the motion detection stops the ringing.
• I sit by the fireplace to read. The only source of light is the fire besides the screen of the kindle. Bubble Cloud has now dimmed the ambient watch-face too, at the same time I dimmed it a few weeks ago. It's not going to burn my eyes when I glance at the watch.
• As I read I look up new words, people and stuff on my watch using voice search
• I respond to emails and messages also on my watch
• Wear Stand up alert tells me to take a few steps after about an hour of sitting, that's when I make some tea. I set the timer to remove the teabag after 8 minutes using a voice command.
• As I go to bed, I put my phone on the wireless charger. I start sleep tracking (Sleep as Android) on the watch.
• Double press the hardware button for Theater mode to prevent accidental touches during the night.

My favourites are:

Sleep as Android - An app that records your sleep - provides cool graphs and information like your current sleep deficit and how many REM cycles you went through during a night's sleep.

7 Weeks - A handy app for goal & habit tracking. Mark off each day (or only particular days) as you accomplish or fail to meet your goal/habit. You can configure reminders too.

Snapseed - A really, really good photo editor. It can turn poor and average shots into really great ones - and good shots into superb ones.

Sleep As Android.

I've had several partners who were heavy snorers. Here's my suggestions:

Mac's Silicone Pillow Earplugs. Comfortable and effective.

Sleep as Android app. Specifically the pink noise. Set it so it doesn't turn off until your alarm.

Breathe Right Strips, for your dad, if he's willing to use them.

Breathe Right Nasal Strips to Stop Snoring, Drug-Free, Original Tan Large, 30 count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GU5YCQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iAndDbGB088HK

Side note. Your dad should do a sleep study to find out if he has sleep apnea. If he does, he needs a CPAP. This condition is no joke, and is a killer.

Good luck.

You can do this with Sleep as Android and it's Spotify ringtone integration if you're on Android.

Interestingly enough, this coincided with the mysterious seismic rumble that rolled around the world.

Disciplina e sacrifício.

Deita-te às horas a que queres dormir. Não te ponhas com TV nem nada do género (no máximo lê 30min dum livro). Vais apanhar uma seca do caralho e vais demorar horas a adormecer (provavelmente mais tarde do que o normal). Depois acorda 7 horas (ou quantas queiras) depois da hora do deitar.

Vais estar quase de directa e vai ser horrível. Não durmas sestas durante o dia nem te afogues em cafés e aguenta-te à bronca.

No dia seguinte faz igual. Já vais adormecer um bocado mais cedo.

Repete até estares a dormir à hora que queres. Pode demorar uns dias ou umas semanas até estares no ponto que queres mas é importante que não vaciles durante o primeiro mês.

Fora isso as dicas do costume:

• Pratica desporto;

• Alimenta-te melhor;

• Evita cafeína 6 horas antes de ir para a cama (depende de pessoa para pessoa);

• Evita nicotina 30min antes de ir para a cama;

• Evita álcool 2 horas antes de ir para a cama;

• Evita aparelhos electrónicos (PC, TV, Telemóvel) uma hora antes de ir para a cama (sobretudo conteúdos muito estimulantes como jogos de ação, filmes de terror, playlists de rockalhada no spotify, etc). Se tiveres que os usar tenta usar um filtro de luz vermelha (o windows 10 tem um incluído por omissão);

• Tenta ter uma hora certa para te deitares todos os dias;

• Tenta evitar um grande jetlag social (deitar-te às 23h durante a semana e às 04h ao fim de semana);

• Tenta ter a tua cama confortável (bem feita e lavada) e uma temperatura fresca no quarto (o calor dificulta adormecer);

• Evita fazer coisas (trabalhar, ver TV, etc) na cama para condicionar o teu cérebro que a cama é para dormir e não para estimular;

• Se possível troca as lâmpadas relevantes na tua casa (quarto, corredor, etc, depende de ti) por lâmpadas de luz quente e não de luz fria;

• Evita beber demasiados líquidos antes de ir para a cama;

• Evita comer refeições demasiado pesadas antes de ir para a cama.

Basicamente são as dicas que me ocorrem agora. De minha experiência metade dos problemas em adormecer são ambientais mas metade são disciplinares. Treina-te a dormir direito e vais ver que vai começar a ser (mais) fácil. Evita as sestas quando possível que fodem tudo.

EDIT: A mim ajudou-me imenso por ruído branco enquanto adormeço. Costumo ouvir som de chuva ou uns audios porreiros de ASMR (tipo um barco quebra gelo numa tempestade no polo norte com motor em idle. É estranhamente específico mas gosto muito desse) e ajuda-me imenso sobretudo quando os vizinhos estão mais activos (geralmente quando me deito mais cedo).

Tens também uma app que para mim valeu o peso em ouro que se chama Sleep as Android. É uma app paga mas para mim vale o peso em ouro e é a primeira app que instalo quando formato o telemóvel/compro um telemóvel novo).

For Android users, download Sleep as Android. It has a 14 day trial, but it's packed with useful info, and looks sleek. Alternatively, Sleepbot is free, and works pretty well too.

For iPhone users, Sleep Cycle is your best option. It's free, works well (you can use your microphone to track your sleep too), and has a premium service to track more. But for waking up perfectly, it works well.

This is exactly my problem as well. I have zero desire to do my daily tasks, because I've done them over 10,000 times already.

I read somewhere that people without ADHD are driven by Importance, Rewards, and Consequences, while people with ADHD are driven by Interest, Challenge, Novelty, and Urgency. And since there's nothing interesting, challenging, or novel about pre- and post-bedtime tasks, that means you wind up waiting until they're urgent, which is bad because that causes us to stay up too late or start our day too late.

I've been working on this problem for a long time, and I've finally got a routine that seems to work most of the time. Here's what I do:

1. At the center of everything is an app called Sleep As Android, so get that. There's probably an iOS equivalent, but I don't know what that is.
2. Find a QR code. (Doesn't matter what it's from.) Stick it to the wall in your bathroom.
3. In Sleep As Android (henceforth referred to as SAA) set up a new alarm to wake you up in the morning. If you need a Snooze button, be sure to set a Snooze Limit.
4. In your alarm's settings, find the CAPTCHA settings, and set it to QR Code. It will prompt you to save your desired QR Code when the alarm first goes off, and will look for the code every time after.
5. When your alarm goes off in the morning, you'll be forced to get up and walk to the bathroom to turn off the alarm.
6. Now that you're in the bathroom, you can start your morning routine! Try to keep your "standing and groggily staring at the mirror" time to a minimum. And whatever you do, don't leave the bathroom until your whole routine is complete. This includes eating.
7. Declutter your bathroom countertop as much as possible. Keep only the items you need on a daily basis on it. No decorations. The more stuff you have out, the more likely you are to skip the items you need each morning and night. Also, don't put away the items you need each morning and night, because out of sight = out of mind. Here's what I have out right now: toothbrush, toothpaste, pump soap, deodorant stick, hairspray, hairbrush, my morning pills, and a shower radio.
8. Leave your morning pills in the bathroom so you remember to take them as part of your morning routine.
9. Do your full morning routine. Use toilet, brush teeth, shower, dry off, make yourself presentable. Only then may you eat breakfast or whatever.
10. Set a second alarm in SAA, and set it for the time you want to go to sleep. Set up the CAPTCHA with the bathroom QR code again, so you're forced to enter the bathroom each night. Do your nightly routine (brush teeth, wash face, floss, etc.) and go directly to bed.

Also, you need to reduce distractions so you're more likely to follow this new routine. I use Block Apps to lock me out of all but my most essential apps on both my phone and my tablet when I'm supposed to be doing my morning or nightly routine, and all night. I'm still looking for a similar app for Windows, but so far no luck. (I tried Cold Turkey, but it's buggy as hell and lacking in a lot of ways.) Unfortunately, there's no way to block non-digital distractions.

Last, regular sleep is very important to people with ADHD. SAA can help you track your sleeping patterns if you want it to. You need to figure out how much sleep you need each night, and make sure you get that much sleep each night. But you also need to be consistent with when you go to sleep and wake up. That includes the weekends, unfortunately. I let myself stay up no more than 2 hours later than I do during the week.

Jebus, that turned into a fucking novel. I should turn this into a blog post or something. Hopefully people actually bother to read this. ��

Sleep as Android

"Sleep as android" is working fine for me, try it out.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Go take a look at the top posts on r/getdisciplined

I used to spend a lot of time on the Internet browsing random things. What worked for me is keeping a journal of all my long an short term goals and breaking them down to each day. And then reviewing my progress weekly. You can find YouTube videos about bullet journaling. Most of it will be fancy notebooks and stuff but you don't need all that. Just take in the basic idea that you need a place to see all that you have completed and all that is pending. You can even do it on an Excel sheet or Word doc. Keeping track of your progress is super important in being productive.

Another thing that helped me a lot is waking up early in the morning. I used to sleep super late, at 1am or 2am. And then wake up and leave for work by 8am. This reduced my productivity a lot because after I got home I was too tired to do anything else and again wasted time on YouTube, etc.
I shifted my waking up time to 5:30am. This gives me a solid 2 hours of time in the morning to focus on my long term goals. I spend this time studying or reading things that help me grow (doing certifications, learning new skills, etc).

Other things I do that might help:
* Forest app - I use this to stop myself from using my phone too much. I also have the browser addon and use the Promodoro technique. 25 mintutes serious work, 5 minutes break. Twice in an hour. That gives me a solid hour of productivity.
* Sleep as Android - This app helped me get into the habit of waking up early.
* Meditate - ten minutes a day just before leaving for work. You can do this anytime. Once you build the habit it just becomes part of your day. Meditation can have a very positive impact on your well-being.
* If you are sleepy, take a nap for 20 minutes. If you don't want to take a nap, go for a walk. Seriously, if you don't feel like working, don't! Do something else until you feel refreshed enough to go back to what you have to be doing.

The most important thing is that you form habits. It will be hard for the first two weeks but once you have the habits set you will be able to just go with the flow.

On Android, Sleep as Android is by far the best. Even has support for sonar and other devices for proper sleep apnea testing.

This feature is also in Sleep As Android

If you combine the Mi Band with Sleep as Android you get both accurate sleep tracking and smart alarms

Sleep As Android?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

It just says "Sleep" in the app drawer. Best app I ever paid for.

This one.

PSA: This is Not a TTS engine or anything for those who are wondering, it uses installed TTS engines (i.e. Google TTS or something else) to speak texts/webpages, you can share the text/URLs manually this app or copy something and open the app and it will detect what's in your clipboard.

The thing is this app is kinda buggy/unfinished right now, here's some reasons why,

1. There's no Default language setting in the app.

2. You cannot change the language manually, there's a button for it that appears in your notification tray, but it doesn't work for some reason. ��

3. Needs integration with their other apps like Sleep as Android which is from the same developer.

4. You can't add multiple URLs.

5. Some URLs just doesn't work.

6. For webpages it speaks the page title (The one that shows up in your Tabs) and there's no way to disable it. It probably needs a settings menu.

7. You cannot also set the TTS speed which is a bummer.

8. The Play/Pause function that shows up in notification tray is kinda buggy and slow, it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't.

Hope the developers fix this issues soon so it will make it a very useful app for lot of us and make it a app that is worth paying for. I can see a lot of people are complaining about the same issues in Google Play reviews of the app, You can try the free version of this app here to have more idea about it.

This app is from the same developers as Sleep as Android and Twilight (both of which are really useful and popular app), so I hope they will improve this as well.

Sleep as Android can do this. You can also have it dismiss the alarm only if you scan an NFC tag, or do some math problem,, etc.

Sleep as Android, I've been using it for a while, tons of features!

Can anyone comment on how this compares to Sleep As Andoid?

It's called Sleep as Android which is grammatically awkward

Best Purchase: Philips Hue Smart Bulb Starter Kit

I have an issue with waking up super groggy to the point of being unable to function if I wake up suddenly at the wrong point in my sleep cycle. Using the Hue settings to gradually fade in my bedroom lights, in conjunction with the Sleep as Android app (which measures your sleep cycles to wake you up at the best point within a set window of time) has allowed me to sort of wake up and be a normal human in the mornings.

If anyone else has Hue lights and Android, I highly recommend Quickhue, which lets you create a QuickSettings tile (the settings that show up in your pull-down/notifications drawer). It's the most convenient and most responsive Hue control of any app or widget I've tried.

Worst Purchase: RENPHO Smart Scale

I got it as a cheap alternative to the overpriced fitbit brand smart scale, and while it does "function as advertised," the RENPHO app requires location permissions in order to sync with the scale via Bluetooth, which doesn't even make sense. The app makes so many unnecessary location checks throughout the day that it reduces your batter life by more than half. Avoid all RENPHO products; they don't know how to make apps.

Sleep as Android

Sleep As Android.

Sleep as Android has it intergrated and it works quite well for me

Try Sleep as Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Sleep as Android can do this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Just a meta note on your cake day: the correct spelling is "plugins". Someone searching for the correct spelling won't find this posting if it remains misspelled. Similarly, if one does a Search Tasker from within the app, one will find tasks that use plugin actions if one searches for "plugin" but not "plug in" (but, curiously, not events or states; must be a bug). You should edit the spelling.

Personally, I have profiles for several of Sleep as Android's events:

• Sleep tracking started: Disables Day Dream, turns WiFi off, saves the display timeout (%DTOUT) to a global variable (%Sleeping) then sets it to 30 seconds, does a vibrate notify ("Z" in morse code) to tell me that tracking has successfully started, turns off AutoRotate, hibernates some processes, and turns off an overlay, and turns off a profile that says the time every 2 minutes (in case it was on).
• Alarm started: Turns WiFi on, Media Volume to 7, Says a few things to inspire me to get up.
• Snooze (alarm): Says a few things I should definitely take care of if I'm going to snooze, turns WiFi off.
• Dismiss (alarm): Turns off Twilight, turns on a profile that says the time every 2 minutes (reminds me how my morning is going), reminds me to brighten the room and start the coffee maker.
• Sleep tracking stop: Makes sure location mode is set to battery saving, turns WiFi On, restores the display timeout (if it was backed up), turns AutoRotate and Auto Brightness on, turns off Twilight and turns off silent mode if it's morning, enables Day Dream if it's morning and the battery has most of its charge, does a Get Location (network), and does another hibernation.

The above uses plugin functionality from Sleep as Android, Secure Settings, Greenify, and Twilight (Twilight just became a plugin), and uses an intent to toggle Cool Tool.

Edit: BTW, some other profiles/tasks check the display timeout backup variable (%Sleeping) to determine whether I'm sleeping or not, so they don't disturb me for unworthy things.

Edit2: Adds that the initial sleep vibrate pattern is "Z" in morse code.

Sleep as Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Sleep as android is for you. It will even record when you talk in your sleep so you can hear what your saying. Pretty good app.

Copying a comment I made earlier today.

Everyone’s saying that the doctor’s wrong, and I get why. However, conquering depression, as a rule, does mean that you have to try despite how bleak things feel.

Know what’s empirically a good idea. I dont care if you shave, but shower once a day. Get your nutrients. People are in worse positions than you are and you should feel gratitude in that. Other practices are important too but a smidge unorthodox. Meditation is great and there is an app on iOS and Android called Waking Up that has made an enormous impact on countless people. If you cannot afford an account, they will make you an account for free and if after a year you can’t yet afford it, email them once more for another year of membership.

Email:

Also, get an app that tracks your sleep. Android iOS

Do not forsake your sleep. It’s not cool. The middle class merely bought into it being “cool.” If you need some science here’s a book that knows its shit. If your depression is fucking you then get it on Audible with a free trial or listen, listen, listen. This is no small thing.

Forget your weight. Are you fat? So? Why does that matter? Americans are fat. I’m fat. Eat better. Smoothie. Try doing some exercises because it feels good to be limber or some cardio because your brain feels GREAT once you do. If your joints are fucked go swimming. Pay for a membership or use your school. They’re probably billing you to keep the lights on anyway.

Why do you think labeling yourself as a coward is a good thing? Genuinely, why? Even subconsciously, why? You have to choose to be better. The pills or this doctor will never ever fix your problems. Look, all of this was typed out in the bathroom. I’m on the can and I believe in you. And my ass hurts so im going to stop here, but I have more information and I will reply to you if you want to take this further. Ask your questions.

I don't understand these posts. Maybe there is a difference between the hardware in newer releases of the Huawei Watch 1 or it could be some app or watchface that's draining your batteries.

I have an almost 2 years old HW1, and it still lasts well over a full day. I charge it in the morning, it's usually around 55-60% when I go to bed. I wear it throughout the night sleep tracking with Sleep as Android, and I put it on charger next morning with 30-35% still left (Sleep for Android increased battery use slightly since they fixed the heart rate tracking)

My settings:

• OS: Android Wear 2.0
• Always on: ENABLED
• Tilt to wake: ENABLED
• Wrist gestures: ENABLED
• Wi-fi: DISABLED
• Brightness: 80% during the day, 20% after sunset, occasional High Brightness (see below)
• Watchface: Bubble Cloud
• Other apps: AccuWeather, Authenticator, Calculator, Audio Recorder, BeyondPod, Wear Counter, Memory Info, Attopedia, Camera Remote, Roll the Dice, Calendar, Keep, Hangouts, Maps, Interval Timer, All 7 Bubble Cloud theme packs, Sleep as Android, Wear Stand-up Alert, Task Manager, Safe in Cloud, Translate → Watch storage
• Disabled: Google Fit

Brightness control

Bubble Cloud controls the brightness: I have it set to about 80% during daylight, it automatically goes down to 20% at sunset. The ambient watchface dims even more after 10PM. I have the high brightness mode programmed on the double press of the hardware button, that's helpful in the sunlight (I have dimmed theater mode on a single long press of the hardware button).

I wrote about my system for getting up on another reddit thread about a week ago. I went through many iterations to settle on this system and it has worked for me for years.

Good luck and please feel free to ask as many questions about it as you like. I will be happy to answer!

Edit: Decided to paste it here and save everyone a click ;)

I know you just got an answer, but also consider using Sleep as Android as it has a ton of neat features.

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep Sleep as Andriod.

It has tasker integration and supports wearables as well.

I use sleep as android. It's been around for quite a while and seems to have a pretty decent reputation.

You could always download another alarm clock app. Sleep as android for example.

I have hass.io setup on my docker server, and my goodnight / good morning routines are similar, just more automated:

I use Sleep As Android to monitor my sleep, as well as my alarm clock, since it can determine my sleep cycle and wake me up when I am in a light sleep instead of a heavy sleep. So when I start sleep tracking, Sleep As Android's Tasker plugin sends a web post to my HASS template switch "Ang3l12's asleep", and some node-red automation gets triggered: Lock my doors, turn off the lights, set the thermostat to a lower temp. When my alarm goes off, the tasker plugin then turns that template switch off, which then triggers my hue lights in my room to turn on at 2 brightness with a red hue, and then set brightness of 75 / more orange hue / with a transition of 5 minutes, sets the thermostat to a higher temp, and in the winter will turn on the heater in the bathroom. My wife goes to bed before me, and wakes up after me, so I wouldn't be able to tell alexa to do those things when I go to bed without waking her up.

Edit: I'm actually excited about my new project that should get used soon (our baby is due in September!):

I got a pressure pad off of amazon and have connected it to a raspberry pi zero w. The pad will go underneath the mattress in the nursery, and will detect when the baby is in the crib. This is setup as a sensor in HASS.io using MQTT, which will trigger a switch (actually a relay on the same RasPi ZW) that will disconnect the doorbell wires, meaning our Ring will only ping our phones and not make a noise in the house, turn on the "baby monitor" which is actually just an ip camera and a noise sensor in HASS, which will notify either my phone or my wife's, or both, depending on who is home, if there is noise in the nursery, etc. I am currently looking into adding some weight sensors to this RasPi as well, and putting them under the changing pad, to track our baby's weight, and graph it with grafana / influx.

edit: Sorry about the short novel. The alarm is a complicated mess of steps, but it works well so I wanted to give you the details.

> I'm very curious about the tech

"sleep as android" is the main one, coupled with a set of tasker tasks to schedule and control the alarm triggers.

The app has an audio mode, an accelerometer tracker, and there's a couple of 'sonar' modes that work surprisingly well if you have newer hardware.

I also have an activity tracking watch that works with it, so there's really good detailed motion data for the app to use, and the app falls back to the phone accelerometer if something happens to the watch.
(There's an additional app that makes them able to communicate with each other, but there are a ton of supported smartwatches. this one is just cheap enough to have a spare.)

Sleep as android allows you to specify a "wake up" time and then it tracks the movement in your sleep and triggers the alarm when you're already moving around and sleeping lightly.
You can either have it set to trigger at a light sleep before the alarm time, or you can set it to trigger at the first light sleep after a set time.

I use the second feature and set the alarm about 2 hours earlier than I want to wake, with a second alarm set to wake me at the desired time with no tracking.

The actual "alarm" is a series of tasks running in tasker and openhab that control (in order of firing):
* the vibration on my watch
* a set of smart lights
* a bluetooth speaker with a set of random playlists at different volumes
* a script to send a text message to my wife
* and as a "last result" a pair of recycled firehouse bells mounted to the wall behind the headboard of a 450lb king-sized oak bed (just out of reach)

Most days the vibration + lights are enough to wake me up. The only time it has to go farther is when I'm so sleep-lagged from having to work off-cycle that I'm just flip-flopping between deep-sleep and rem directly.

For context, my circadian cycle is 26 hours long. If left to my own devices, I will be awake for 16 hours and then sleep for 10. This is as reliable as clockwork, and has been consistent for close to 15 years.

Sadly, that also means that I will always go to sleep and wake up 2 hours later than the day before.

I literally couldn't keep a "regular" entry level job through high school/college. I eventually started "napping" in my car outside of work so that a friendly coworker could shake me awake if needed.

Eventually I got into salaried/on-call/results-based jobs that didn't usually require me to be at work during the day, and then started my own business so that someone else could catch calls and arrange work around my schedule. (or send me a text message with one of three secret "emergency wake up codes" that trigger different levels of alarm.)

Sleep As Android has this functionality built in. And an all around more robust alarm app.

Yes. It's called "Sleep as Android" and it's excellent.

If you are on android I use Sleep As Android.

Sleep as Android does this. At least, it buzzes your pebble when the alarm goes off.

Forget your weight. Are you fat? So? Why does that matter? Americans are fat. I’m fat. Eat better. Smoothie. Try doing some exercises because it feels good to be limber or some cardio because your brain feels GREAT once you do. If your joints are fucked go swimming. Pay for a membership or use your school. They’re probably billing you to keep the lights on anyway.

Why do you think labeling yourself as a coward is a good thing? Genuinely, why? Even subconsciously, why? You have to choose to be better. The pills or this doctor will never ever fix your problems. Look, all of this was typed out in the bathroom. I’m on the can and I believe in you. And my ass hurts so im going to stop here, but I have more information and I will reply to you if you want to take this further. Ask your questions.

Sleep as Android

It's available for your phone and your watch. You'll need both to be able to track your sleep with your watch.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

It can't track sleep natively, but the app called "Sleep as Android" can.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I have been using this alarmclock/sleep tracker for 3-5 years. It let's you skip the next day on an alarm and will automatically enable it for the night after it was skipped. It also can set the alarm to try to wake you when you are between sleep cycles using the sleep tracking. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Sleep as Android has a tracking and a droid widget. While the droid one is kind of goofy it does show a countdown to bedtime, among other things

> The droid widget is the “happy week” widget. It changes appearance depending on time, date, day of the week and other factors. Find out all the droid faces!

This is a good android app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

oh I should also mention: there is an Android app called Sleep by Urbandroid Team https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

It can tell you when you are sleeping or awake by whether you are rolling around in bed or lying still. If you set your alarm for 7:30 a.m., it will go off sometime between 7 am and 7.30, when you are already partially awake. Somehow this gentle method of waking up, makes me feel MORE AWAKE and have less migraines than a regular alarm, to a degree I would not have believed possible without this personal experience. I set the alarm to be crickets, and it starts out soft and gets louder. This alone has allowed me to change my sleeping habits by setting the alarm slowly earlier and earlier; trying this with a normal alarm was a miserable failure, and ended in great pain and unhappiness.

Sleep as Android can do something like that. It has a shortcut for 'Sleep X hours', where X is your ideal sleep duration, which can be set in the settings.

I've been using SAA for over 5 years and I really couldn't be happier. The dev does updates and improvements regularly, at least on the beta channel.

The app is not free, but has a 14 or 7 day, fully functional trial. :)

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Yeah it's an odd name. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Try This app. it tracks your sleep cycles and tries to wake you up gently when you are in REM phase (light sleep) making the process a lot less of a pain.
Edit: Wrong link. Ooops.

Sleep with Android?

Playstore link

I personally use Sleep As Android and have had great results for a couple of years.

Definitely agree.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I posted similar praise last week: I have been using this app for roughly 6 years and it has not once failed me. It is the first app I install on any Android device I get.

I use the Sleep as Android app. There are a bunch of ways you can set it up, but I have it configured so that I have to scan a QR code to make my alarm stop ringing. I put the QR code on the fridge.

Yes it can be set to vibrate only. I have it set so that it vibrates my watch for 1 minute first before starting the audible alarm on my phone as I find the vibration doesn't always wake me up. When the alarm does trigger audibly it slowly increases in volume. Since the vibration partially wakes me I can usually stop the audible alarm before it's loud enough to wake my wife.

Although annoying at first, just keep wearing the watch to bed and you'll get used to it.

I just realized though your title says "Sleep for Android" I was talking about the app "Sleep as Android":

• https://sleep.urbandroid.org/
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I use Sleep as Android which has a ton of features. I only use it for the QR code though.

I expect there are plenty of other options out there, but I can't say I have explored them.

Sleep as Android

See battery usage on my HW2 Classic during about 6:30h of sleep with theatre mode.

Dude, Sleep as Android is the most amazing thing ever! It's absolutely worth the money!

Sleep as Android can launch Spotify playlists as alarms.

Fully agree, except I wear my watch at night (I'm using Sleep as Android), using theater mode.

Sleep as Android/Sleep as Wear might be what you're after.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Natively no but there are apps that do that like Sleep for Android that does a good job at recording sleep information.

I'm using a Nexus 6P, but there really shouldn't be much of a difference vs the android BlackBerrys.

> Alarm/clock app though?

• Stock alarm/clock app is very good. I didn't miss any functionality from BB10. Multiple toggleable alarms, multiple timers, lots of options.
• Sleep as Android is an amazing alternative alarm clock plus way more. I've got it set up with a couple alarms in the morning, one of which I set to make me answer some basic math (e.g. 8 x 3 + 5 with multiple choice answers) to ensure I don't hit snooze/dismiss and over sleep.

> Love Reddit In Motion

Lots of good reddit apps on Android:

• reddit Is fun
• Sync for reddit
• Relay for reddit
• Boost for reddit (this is the one I personally use)

Maybe this will at least help you get out of bed. You can set up a captcha so the alarm will not turn off until you solve it. I used to use an NFC sticker but now I use a QR code on the bathroom mirror.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Have you tried Sleep as Android or the paid version???

Do you use an alarm in the morning? If you alarm wakes you in the middle of the sleep cycle you might feel very groggy and tired. I have the benefit of flexible work hours so I've stopped using an alarm at all, but when I do need an alarm I use an app that wakes me up when I'm in a lighter part of my sleep cycle (I use this one but I'm sure they have them for iphone as well).

Protip for Android users: Use an application like Sleep as Android to have the last song you listened to on Spotify as your alarm. I do this and get a different song every day. Also helps heavy sleepers (like myself) that have gotten immune to their alarm sound.

1) For me Bubble Cloud watch-face launcher is must have. It just does so many things I cannot imagine my watch without:

• brightness control half a screen away
• all my apps in app drawer (using icon packs!)
• automatic brightness control on my watch with no light sensor
• watch face dimming
• easy watch face customization (both analog and digital)
• tasker support
• non dimming timer mode
• double tap for voice search
• sticky open: apps are automatically reopened when I tilt my watch to wake. This is a much better solution than the built in ambient mode...
• stand up alert
• ticking sound
• great battery life (which is a wonder with all its functionality!)

2) I cannot imagine my watch without Sleep as Android it's just a great way to keep track of sleep and to make sure I wake up at the right time. With the watch it even monitors my pulse.

3) Safe in cloud is probably the third I would recommend to every new watch owner. On the phone it does everything a password manager should (including fingerprint scanning even on older Samsung devices) and Samsung pop-up window mode. No subscription and free desktop app with built in sync. But I list it here for the very well implemented Android Wear component.

4) Calculator for Android Wear it's just a must. I think the watch should have a calculator out of the box, but since it doesn't this is a must. Out of a few alternatives I chose this and I never needed more.

Sleep as Android.

i love it. i use the sleep tracking to remind myself when to go to bed, and monitor the quality of sleep over time.

Sleep as Android is what I use. It forces me to scan an NFC tag I have stuck in my bathroom before it'll shut off. It even has code built in so that you can't kill the app, and so that the alarm will go off again if you pull the battery and put it back in.

It also does sleep tracking - you put it in bed next to you, and it tracks how much you're moving around at night, and will wake you up at the lightest part of your sleep cycle. If you have an Android Wear or Pebble smartwatch, it'll use the accelerometer and heart rate sensors on that instead for even more accurate tracking.

The app Sleep as Android has an option to add playlists. I haven't used the app in a while, but I know the option is there to add playlists and have the ability to shuffle them.

I recommend using an app that tracks your sleep like Sleep as Android or Sleep Cycle alarm clock.

Sleep as Android works with Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

One can also use Sleep as Android as smart alarm, or a smartwatch which calculates it in real time according to your movement.

An absolutely great app when it was first released... on iOS back in 2009.

Unfortunately, the Android version is rarely updated and is easily outmatched by Sleep as Android.

(For €0.24 I bought it anyway... because that's next-to-nothing and one day it may be a good alternative worth trying.)

i use sleep as android for my alarm. until i write in my 'journal' the alarm cannot be silenced. It does pause the noise while i type though.

Sleep as Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en_GB

Sleep as Android is another good option and has a 14 day free trial. If you have an Android Wear watch, you can use that for tracking too.

Get a smart alarm clock.

Your sleep runs in cycles of about 45-50 minutes, now personal sleep monitors are not only cheap, but ubiquitous (health monitors/smart watches) we can feed our sleep patterns into a computer in real time.

Rather than going off at a specific time, a smart alarm will fire at the best opportune moment before your required time - often with a crescendo. I've found this results in a clearer waking experience.

I use Sleep as Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

I find sleep quality matters a lot as well. I use an android app and it tracks my deep sleep. I don't know how accurate it is, but I notice that under 50-55% and I will feel tired. 7hrs with 60% is far better than 8hrs with 45%.

As for upping your sleep quality, it took a little while but I'm getting decent at knowing if it is likely to be bad. For example, I need to avoid lots of salt in the evening/night. Might be something to work towards, chances are if this is the cause, the fix will be person-specific.

I also found I was more tired when I was a little down a life. It's fairly normal and if it's this, you just gotta push through/make a change.

Sleep as Android which tracks your sleep at night using sensors in your watch.

It also detects when you are snoring and vibrates the watch to try to get you to shift positions and stop snoring.

You can also set your alarm to be a "variable time window" and it'll wake you when it senses that you are partly awake. Ex: I set my alarm for between 06:00 AM and 06:30 AM. Starting at 06:00 AM it'll try to detect if I'm 'tossing & turning' in my sleep and if I am it'll trigger the alarm then. Otherwise it'll wait until I am tossing & turning and let me sleep in until as late as 06:30.

Now that I use that feature - I almost never bother hitting snooze. I'm awake at my first alarm going off. I feel slightly more rested this way too.

I am using this app. It runs on the watch as well. Not sure if you could use this with iOS.

Or you could check out Sleep as Android. Also integrates very well with other devices such as Pebble for tracking: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

I've found Sleep as android to have the most features of the bunch.

I use it with with Sleep as Android which I've used before with my Pebble and just went back to with this device, it's a solid app and records my sleep well with lots of options and graphs. The data that gets copied to Google Fit though is just the total number of hh:mm asleep.

Sleep as Android

Track and learn your sleeping habits. Helps you wake up near your lightest sleep cycle that is closest to your alarm time. Basically helps you wake up not groggy if you have that problem. Also shows some cool stats and information about your sleep habits and your activity when your sleeping.

Looks like it is this. I've never used it personally.

I'm using Sleep as Android

Don't know if it's compatible with your device, but Sleep as Android is the best sleep tracker I've found. I've been using it with an LG Urbane smartwatch, but it looks like it supports a bunch of different options. Worth checking to see if it can pull data from your heart rate monitor.

I've been using Sleep as Android for sleep tracking and PlexFit to sync to Google Fit for fitness tracking. I realize this doesn't directly answer your question - what's the best with both - but I honestly couldn't find one that was particularly good at both.

For Android devices there's "Sleep as Android", but I don't know if there's anything like that for iOS. Probably.

There's a wonderful app in the Google Play Store called Sleep as Android and I highly recommend it. I've been using it as both an alarm as as a way to record my sleep talk. It only saves recordings when your phone picks up audio, and the quality is surprisingly good. It costs $5, but comes with a 14-day trial, so you can test it for yourself. It has more features, but you can read about those in the Play description.

EDIT: spelling correction

Do you have a smartphone running android? Best I've found is "Sleep as Android". Bad name, amazing app. Not sure if would work running from Chrome on the PC (i heard chrome can run android apps now) but you can give it a shot.

The app records your sleep, highlights snoring, gives you logs and records of how much sleep you're getting or missing, and a million other small features. It also wakes you up on your REM cycle, which after using it makes a HUGE difference for me to not wake up at an arbitrary alarm clock point. Also it gives a lot of flexibility for everything, you can shut off almost any feature you don't like.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

No matter what I tried, I could not get myself out of bed on time. I would sleep until the very last minute and drag myself up, being more groggy than if I were to have gotten up in the first place.

My solution was getting the Sleep as Android (there is an equivalent for iPhone) app for my phone. When the alarm goes off, I have to physically get out of bed, walk into my kitchen, and scan a QR code in order to shut off the alarm. I immediately feed my cat, since that's the first thing I do in the morning, and bam, I've started my morning routine.

I don't know your specific situation but i can share what's worked for me.

It's not a quick fix but i got my sleep hygiene under control by using an app (linked below) religiously. It helped me learn my natural sleep rhythms and i work around that.

The second step is consistency. I'll admit, having a regular 9-5ish job helps massively with this. Regardless, I use the app every night.

Third i have a routine that works for me. I shower (leisurely) at night so the app reminds me it's time to wind down about 2 hours before bedtime. I also like lazy mornings so i set my alarm extra early. I get the satisfaction of hitting snooze for an hour, then slowly wake up and dick around on my phone until it's time to get out of bed. By then, it's not a fight. Since I know I need around 7.5 hours a night, i can schedule accordingly. My bedtime is based on my extra early alarm. It feels like a treat to hit snooze and it doesn't hurt to go to bed a few minutes late.

I'm actually tired at a "normal" bedtime and wake up refreshed with plenty of time to breathe, daily. I fought for sleep my entire life, both falling asleep and waking up. Sure I'm in bed by 10ish on weekends, but I'm not exhausted and pissy all day every day.

You can use the app Sleep as Android which will track sleep and it connects with Google Fit

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

http://imgur.com/a/rjfUGCX

I've just done a screen recording to show you where to go on the Sleep as Android app. When you go through the steps to connect with Google Fit, it will ask for permissions which you'll have to agree to. They're just the standard permissions you would get for other apps connecting to your Google account.

You can also install the watch app for better tracking if you wear your watch to bed. You can also send data from the Sleep as Android app to SH.

This is the one I've been using.

Yeah I use &quot;Sleep as Android&quot; and it's great

Avendo risolto non la uso più, ma mi sono trovato molto bene con Sleep As Android.

I think it was this one. I haven't used it in years, so I'm not 100% sure though. Either way this one has similar features.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I use Sleep as Android that has the same feature. Did you try both?

I would highly recommend Sleep as Android — it's a bulletproof alarm clock with optional odd/even bi-/weekly alarm settings. Perfectly fitting for two shift conditions (i.e. no toggling) and Tasker compatibility (see Intent API or search the docs for further plug-in information). I use the Alarm Dismissed intent for switching on my coffee machine. It's regularly on sale every 6 to 8 weeks.

Sleep as Android

Cannot recommend it enough. Has to be on the bed w you, not sure how/if it works w multiple people on the bed.

My favorite feature is that you can set an alarm for 6am, but set it so that if you're in a light sleep cycle at 530, the alarm will still go off.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Sleep as Android it allows for a gradually increasing alarm volume as well as a "captcha" type system to make it more difficult to turn off the alarm. Even prevents force closing the app. Though I don't think it can prevent you from shutting the phone down.

If you use an Android phone, Sleep as Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep) can integrate with Philips Hue bulbs to do exactly that, as far as I know. Not sure about using a smart speaker though.

Google Fit includes sleep tracking data only, as far as I can tell.

That is, you can import data from actual sleep trackers to it. I use Sleep as Android and have it sync to fit, so the sleep data shows on Fit.

Für Android User: Sleep as Android sagt einem abhängig vom eingestellten Wecker und gewünschter Schlafmenge auch, wann man ins Bett soll. Die Pro Variante kann auch mit Philips Hue gekoppelt werden und beim ins Bett legen das Licht ausmachen, als auch die Lampen als Lichtwecker ansteuern.

Sleep as android

I've been using Sleep as Android for years now. It's got customizable snooze durations (including the ability to disable snooze altogether) and alternative dismissal methods (like doing a simple math problem to prove you're awake) that keep me from oversleeping.

If anyone's wondering, I'm fairly sure it's this app.

Also, apps that attempt to figure out which phase of your sleep cycle you're currently in so as to attempt to wake you up at an optimal point. I use Sleep as Android and have found it surprisingly effective.

Absolutely. This, along with sleep as Android which defects your movement and wakes you up in between sleep cycles. I used these both A LOT when I was in the military.

I have used others including the one developed by Asus that was on the zenwatch. This was a far more developed app. For a while I tested it against my partners fitbit and it was hands down better. It's not fully automatic though FYI but more accurate with more options.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I've tried a bunch of alarm apps and my hands down favorite is Sleep as Android. Very customizable and it even reminds you when to go to bed to meet your sleep goal....I don't use any of the paired devices, just the alarm app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Well, not really. Out of the box, no. There are some third party options, but don't seem to be any that run solely on the watch. The most popular, Sleep As Android, has Wear OS integration so it should work with the watch; I've never tried it though. Also, not sure if the battery would even make it through the night unless you charge during the day. Here's a thread about Wear OS sleep-tracking.

hijacking.

&#x200B;

I recommend sleep as android. it allows me to set an NFC tag or my id/bank card as the only way to turn off the alarm. you can limit snooze to x amount of times if that is your thing but you will have to get up and go to "insert place where you put your wallet" to turn it off. I usually leave mine in the bathroom so i can just brush my teeth while booting my brain. Alternatively, the kitchen to start the coffee

&#x200B;

if you don't have a phone that supports NFC you can just print out a QR Code and use that instead

&#x200B;

NFC Tags are cheap tho

Never been a fan of setting up so many alarms, it has never really worked for me.

Anyway, I was on 100mg of Seroquel since May 2016 until June 2018, which is when I doubled the dose to 200mg -.-

I use the app Sleep as Android to gather metrics - and later use them in my favor - on my sleep efficiency and potential deficit. The other feature it has that I really like, is that you can set up a CAPTCHA alarm, which forces to complete a task for it to stop.

My advice, is to sit on your bed the moment the alarm wakes you up, do the puzzle to shut it off and then quickly down a glass of cool water (or juice, to get rid of the "swamp mouth"). At least in my case, it shocks me awake, and then I get up; the moment I stand up, my bed becomes what I call "res non grata" (res is Latin for "thing") for the rest of the day.

But really, drink something cool as soon as you wake up, and then get up and stay up, no matter how you feel. It gets easier in time.

This is data from a sleep app called Sleep As Android using my phone's sensors.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I'm not sure I use it on Android.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

That's the full title if it helps.

It's called "sleep":

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

It's pretty useful, and has a lot of options if maths isn't your thing.

:Shrug: Once the battery is over 90% you might as well keep it there so that it's got a full charge when you take it off. And that way you've got all the capacity you should be able to expect your expensive device to have over the course of a day.

There also plenty of use cases that make overnight charging and on-bed use much more appropriate, like if you using a health or sleep tracking like this one that's got 10 million+ downloads.

And frankly, if a device can't be charged safely overnight I don't want it in my house or pocket. And being able to charge safely overnight has been considered bare minimum table stakes for mobile electronic devices since about... oh, I don't know, about 1985 or so I guess.

There's something to be said for using a low-wattage/low-amperage charger when fast charging is unneeded, but these devices are engineered to require little to no care & feeding beyond that.

Of course, if you're trying to rapid charge it while sandwiched between a mattress and a pillow with no ventilation you're probably getting beyond the design considerations, but anyhoo...

I know people have mentioned it before in this thread but I just want to emphasize it once more. Do yourself a favor and use Sleep as Android Even if you're not using the sleep tracking it's still BY FAR the best alarm clock app on android.
So much customization and you can set the global alarm settings to always set the alarm volume to whatever you like no matter what is set in the system settings.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep in the alarm tones, there's options for playlists. Also has the wake-up math stuff mentioned elsewhere, but I like the flag matching one which is available in here

There's apps for this man.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en_US

That's the most popular one I know of but there is definitely others. It can record audio/snoring and I think it can start up automatically.

The vibration in my smartwatch never failed to wake me. Unless you're a really heavy sleeper, just get a smartwatch with a vibrate motor.

If you've got an android phone, you can get this app to use your watch to monitor your sleep quality as well!

I quite like Sleep for Android.

It's a alarm and sleep tracker with tons of juicy features. Snore tracking, sleep quality and cycle monitoring, a bunch of in depth alarm options, etc. It's a nice once stop for me at least.

You could try taking ZMA an hour or so before you go to sleep (its more or less a mix of Zinc, magnesium and b-vitamins.) the mixes called ZMA usually work better for me than actually taking Zinc, Magnesium and whatever B-vitamin/complex they contain.

But if you wake up exhausted you might need to contact a sleep clinic in case you have a form of sleep apnea. (this is much more normal if you are very over weight) EDIT: It could mean you aren't breathing properly which could hurt your sleep which I assume could screw with your hormone production and restitution.

And you could try the Sleep or sleep as android app for your phone and see what it can tell you about how well you sleep and how much noise you make etc. etc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep I assume there is a iPhone version available if you need that.

PS: I'm still not a doctor tho. :)

Sleep as A Droid has either movement tracking (put phone on bed / under sheets) or some sonar thing. Free but pay for features. Good export data set up

Sleep Bot is free with ads.

Sleep Cycle is free or 30$ a year subscription for features.

I like the first the most as you can tag triggers for sleep, like sleeping at home or caffeine.

I'm using Sleep https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

I'm 45 been a night person my whole life, I just accepted it and only generally take jobs that start a little later, like 10 am or even night shift jobs. After a lifetime of trying to get up early I accepted that I am a night person.

Well I started using this app and after a month, I started waking up early, before my alarm goes off on my own. I don't feel sick in the morning any more; I have always felt sick and didn't feel like eating until later, my whole life. It detects your sleep patterns and doesn't wake you up during REM sleep. I hope it keeps working I never would have believed this, if I didn't try it. Sleep improved; migraines seem improved. I still seem to get the odd night of insomnia once in awhile.

&quot;Sleep As Android&quot;, pretty nice it allows for Tasker integration so i got an NFC sticker on my nightstand. And whenever I set my phone down at night it'll automatically kill music apps, set volumes to Max and start sleep tracking then lock

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

I use the Sleep as Android app. It has a online radio option, so pretty much every morning is a unique alarm for myself. The app also lets you create your own playlists with your own music. Might be a premium option but it is only a one time cost.

I know this doesn't fix the issue you have with the alarm clock but you could always use a 3rd party alarm clock. Setting an alarm is an actionable item so you can set a default alarm app for when you ask Google to do it (similar to how you can have a default app to open certain links). I use Sleep as Android but there are a lot of great clock apps and potentially a better one out there but this does everything I need and a few things I didn't know I needed like being able to skip next alarm for when I have the day off.

I prefer Sleep as Android
It's all the data and trends and analysis of Sleep Cycle, and has a great method to find your optimal time to wake up, within a configurable window of time. Love this app, and I wake up so much better because of it.

Sleep as Android app has support for Spotify :)

Sleep as android an app that forced you to preform mental task to shut up.

I hate it, but I need it to wake up enough to get out of ved

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep works fine with me

If the issue is with waking up, I'd recommend using the app Sleep as Android. It does some sleep tracking and wakes you up at certain moments in your sleep cycle to get the best night's rest.

I use Sleep as Android. (I'll post link when not on mobile). It supports an array of smart wake up types, such as NFC and maths questions.

Edit: link

Mja, scheinbar scheint das Aufstehen und durchs Zimmer gehen ja nicht zu helfen, laut OP /u/katembers :

> Wo das Handy dabei liegt spielt dabei nicht einmal eine Rolle. Es ist anscheinend kein großes Problem für meinen Körper durch das Zimmer zu laufen ohne dabei bewusst zu sein.

Man kann es halt mal versuchen, gibt sicher eine Distanz die weit genug ist um wirklich wach zu werden.

Ich habe wenn noch Sleep On Android im Kopf, die App hat neben dem NFC-Tag auch noch weitere "Hindernisse", die ein verfrühtes Ausschalten des Wecktons verhindern. Dazu gehören simple und komplexere Matheaufgaben, QR-Code-Scans, Bildersuche, Schütteln des Telefons oder auch ein lächelndes Foto zu machen. Erweiterungen gibt es auch zum Runterladen.

Dile a tu hermana que use Sleep as Android. Yo lo tengo configurado para que la alarma no se desactive hasta que me levante y tome una foto al código QR que hay en el baño.

Here is the app he's talking about. I used it myself for a while. It's pretty good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I've been using Sleep as Android for a long time. It keeps track of your sleep using accelerometer (your have to put your phone on your bed for that), sonar or some smart watches. It also tries to choose the best time to wake you up, but I mainly use because it has some captchas, which prevent you from turning off the alarm easily. The downside is that I can solve a lot of arithmetical problems in my sleep now.

For an Android App try Sleep as a Droid it'll over lay movement and talking. Otherwise, night terrors can be a side effect of depression meds. I suggest talking to her GP and getting a referral to a sleep test, as well as a white noise machine for you to distract a bit from random talking noises and help you rest.

Oh my bad! Sleep AS android.... Sorry bout that! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

There are free smartphone apps that can help you gather data, including when and how often you wake up, and how much you snore. This can actually be very useful information; frequent snoring, for example, can be a sign of sleep apnea, a very common and treatable cause of tiredness. (It's more common in heavier people, but even lean people such as yourself can have apnea.)

Some apps can even try to wake you at an appropriate time in your sleep cycle-- if you configure the app to wake you no earlier than 6am but no later than 7am, for example, it will try to hold off on the alarm until it detects you're in a lighter phase of sleep.

(Sleep cycle theory, if you're not familiar, holds that we go from light to deep sleep and back again over ~90 minute intervals. If we're awakened while in the middle of a deep phase of sleep, we'll feel groggier longer. This theory also suggests that if the time between sleep onset and scheduled waking is evenly divisible by 90 minutes, we'll experience more refreshing sleep-- possibly the reason for my 7.5 hour "sweet spot," which would be exactly 5 90-minute cycles.)

The app I used is called "Sleep as Android," and it has all of the above features (and more) in the free version.

As an aside, you mentioned an ammonia smell in your nose. A quick search suggests this could be sinusitis. If you do have sinus issues, the possibility of sleep apnea is much higher.

Another possibility for that ammonia smell is kidney or liver problems. You didn't mention any other distressing symptoms, but you should check into them and consult with a doctor if you see anything familiar.

> Sleep as ~~an~~ Android

No "an". Yeah, it's odd, but understandable: Devs are from Switzerland, so I give them a break on that.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

This app has been Paramount in getting into a routine that gives me 0 excuse to not have food made or get my gym time in. I put an NFC tag in my kitchen downstairs and turned off the ability to snooze. I now get up at 615 every day and I'm working toward getting up at 545. If you get the full version it will even wake you up based on your sleep cycle which is really nice but not necessary.

Sleep As Android has Hue integration.

I have Sleep As Android on my phone which allows you to setup a captcha that you have to complete in order to turn the alarm off (simple math - multiplication and simple addition, there are others you can use too but simple math seems to work well for me). I keep my phone across the room too. Both of these combined seem to do pretty good job at waking me up.

Sleep app for android is good..

It has different captcha to input when ya wake up. I set the QR Code captcha and it won't turn off till i match the QR Code on my coffee in the kitchen..

~~(App Link in 7 hours when i knock off work)~~

edit: late Link cause an after work meet up happened.

Tasker can do this with a plugin, but...

Sleep as Android does it right. It's the most customizable and integrated alarm/sleep tracking app out there. They've done their research and continue to inovate and implement feature requests. Well worth the $4 to unlock all features.

The update is device/manufacturer dependent.

Here is the sales list for Fossils smart watch vs hybrid. http://imgur.com/a/7VtHY

I don't think AW 2.0 adds sleep tracking but you could try this app. Sleep for Android

Sleep as Android is amazing :)

I normally have this and it isn't that bad (at least with taking a 1/2 tablespoon which is a half dose).

A sleep tracking app can help to see if you are actually sleeping well or just tossing all night. I've been using Sleep as android with a pebble watch but there are other ways to track sleep.

I believe Sleep as Android can do this.

~~Link me: Sleep as Android~~

tu peux vérifier avec des applis (genre Sleep as android si tu fais pas de l'apnée du sommeil.J'en fait un peu parfois, et c'est physiquement éprouvant: tu te réveilles comme si tu n'avais pas du tout dormi.

I use mine with the Sleep as Android app. It's definately the best feature of my smartwatch, and I'd buy a replacement just for that.

With sleep with android and your smartwatch it can detect when you are stirring in the morning and trigger the alarm when you are partially awake. Rather than setting an exact time for my alarm I set a 30 minute window to wake me up between 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM.

Other features: easier to reply to quick texts by voice especially when I'm out walking (I do a lot of walking). Google fit tracking is nice but honestly I don't know if it's significantly more accurate than the phones sensors themselves. I also use it for controlling spotify while I'm out walking or around the house. I use Google's Chromecast audio for an entire home synchronized audio solution and it's nice to always have a basic remote on me while around the house to skip tracks or turn up/down volume.

The Pebble 2 + Heartrate can be combined with Sleep As Android for sleep-tracking with heartrate support... This is what I use and it works flawlessly.

The Pebble 2 + Heartrate has usage times of up to seven (7) days, so you've got a fair bit of give between charges.

Any notification your Android smartphone can receive your Pebble 2 + Heartrate can receive, though you can customize this so that you receive the notifications from things that matter, and not things that don't; the Pebble 2 + Heartrate also has thousands of games, watchfaces and applications that you can download for free .

I used this app yesterday, it worked perfectly.

I'd recommend ,if you have an Android, trying Sleep as Android. Its an app that tracks how you move and will wake you up, within a time frame you set, based on whether you are moving and in REM sleep. It starts with low vibrations first that get stronger and low music that gets louder. There are "captchas" that you have to do to make sure you stay away, such as shaking the phone or simple math.

I downloaded Sleep as Android yesterday and used it for the first time last night using my smartwatch as the monitor. It's really interesting to see how you progress through the night and just how good a quality your sleep is. It's jam-packed full of features too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Smart alarm clock with sleep cycle tracking. Wakes you gently in optimal moment for pleasant mornings.

Sleep for Android

Sleep as Android är den jag använder, men skulle inte förvåna mig om någon annan app har liknande funktion. Har använt själva appen sedan några år tillbaka, men började använda QR-koder först i maj.

Det må vara plågsamt, men så länge man inte bara sover rakt genom larmet så är det effektivt.

> I haven't tried it but I heard there's an app that is like an alarm but it only wakes you up when you're in light sleep, so that it's not so groggy and a drag when your alarm goes off.

Sleep as Android, if you're an Android user. It uses the accelerometer to measure when you're moving around, which is an indication of light sleep.

It will also record your light and deep sleep cycles

I suppose it's Sleep as Android. At least this is what I use!

I have a pair of profiles I use to detect my phone accidentally turning on when in my pocket:

Accidentally powered on ?

• Display On (event)
• Sleep or Phone, Invert ticked (application)
• Proximity Sensor (state)

1. Wait 500 ms
2. Profile Status "Accidental on still?" Set On
3. Wait 2 seconds
4. Profile Status "Accidental on still?" Set On

Accidental on still?

• Proximity Sensor (state)
• Sleep or Phone, Invert ticked (application)
• Display State is On (state)

1. (Do whatever alerting of accidentally on; I have it vibrate morse code for "?")

I hope this helps alleviate some of your frustration (surely not all). Add whatever apps you might have near your face while the phone transitions off/on; Google Hangouts doesn't seem to do this for me. I excepted Sleep as Android because I tend to have the phone face-down when I turn it on, and was getting unecessary triggering.

(Oh, I hope your phone allows Phone to be a detectable app. I recall reading that LG didn't allow Camera to be detectable on some model, I hope this isn't similar.)

Sleep

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I use an alarm app called Sleep as Android, which has several "never oversleep" functions. I've paired it with an NFC tag that I've glued to the wall in my bathroom so that I can't disable the alarm without physically going to the bathroom and touching my phone to the tag, at which point I might as well shower. I find that my morning procrastination usually washes off in the shower :)

If your phone doesn't support NFC you can print out a QR code and be forced to take a picture of that to disable the alarm. This alarm app in particular is for Android only, but if you have an iPhone I'm sure there are equivalent apps for that.

Meh, I know I don't snore often or loudly unless I'm drunk.

Two reasons:

1. People have told me I don't snore.
2. I bought a sleep app to work with my watch. One of the neat options on it is the ability for it to go in stand by mode at night and if there's any spike in noise, it'll record it. I've monitored it for a few weeks and occasionally it'll catch me snoring softly (it's really not loud) but usually I'm quiet.

For those who are curious if they snore: Sleep as Android does it. It's like $0.99 to unlock it now. I think I paid $5.

My new alarm is electronic music that's just loud enough to annoy on the first listen, combined with Sleep As Android and some inexpensive NFC tags to force me out of bed in order for the alarm to shut up.

(Probably also doable on iDevices, albeit with QR codes instead of NFC... After a cursory search, FreakyAlarm seems like a decent match.)

Works wonders.

edit: The song I use is Alan Walker - Faded (Instrumental Version). I ~~like~~ use it because it starts out slow for roughly one minute, then the song gets rather energetic quickly.

You might be interested in Sleep as Android.

Lots of calm nature sounds, and you can adjust something called Gentle volume increase (up to 24 mins) to prevent the alarm from being an annoying and loud sound. It also turns almost any song/sound (or even music playlists) into a "calm" alarm.

There's also a Smart period to wake up when the sensors detect you'll feel better waking up. So instead of the alarm going off at exactly 5:30 (for example) it might start at 5:23, and with the previous option it feels really calm and smooth. It's up to you if you want full sleep monitoring overnight (10%~ battery, rip), or you can use the auto start before your alarm rings option (*insert happy battery image here*).

As for the other thing, you can use CAPTCHA to wake up. It currently has the following: > Never oversleep again with CAPTCHA wake up verification (Math, Sheep counting, Phone shaking, Bathroom QR code or NFC tag)

...wow there's actually a plus button to add more CAPTCHAs in the app, how did I never notice it? I recommend "simple" math in the hardest difficulty. It takes a while even when already awake.

And lots of more options in the app.

Try it and see if you like it (link)

Note: if you have an Xperia device and use Stamina mode, remember to white list Sleep as Android.

I sleep with earplugs.

For my alarm I have a Android Wear smartwatch and use Sleep as Android app. I set a window of time instead of exact time to wake up (ex: wake me up between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM - I need to be up by 6:30 AM). Using the watch it can detect when I'm already partly awake because it senses I'm moving / tossing / turning. It then triggers the alarm when I'm tossing and turning since I'm not deep sleeping at that time the alarm is far more noticeable.

It also vibrates my wristwatch which helps some too to wake me. I usually wake up right away and rarely hit the snooze button this way. I also wake up feeling more 'refreshed'.

Check out Sleep as Android. It offers a bunch of options to stop your alarms, including math, QR codes and shaking your phone.

I used one of those sleep tracker apps that wakes you up when it senses you in light sleep. It usually wakes you up before your alarm but its worth it as you don't feel no way near as tired. Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id320606217?mt=8

I have a problem with regular sleep and tried a lot of things. I came across an Android app that analysed sleep patterns and eventually switched to a FitBit device to give me some feedback. These don't help me fall asleep, but they help me work out patterns, for example, over time, I have learned to not eat for a while before sleeping, to make sure it is a regular scheduled thing at a fixed time, to avoid lots of alcohol and certain types of food in the evenings. The Android app would track my sleep 'debt' and inform me at a predetermined time before I should be sleeping, that I need to get ready for sleep. It would also advance that time if I had too much debt.

I know it's not what you asked, but what I'm getting at is for me, not sleeping well or regularly was about not sticking to a routine that actually works rather than my environment or comfort. It takes a few weeks to get into a routine and feel the difference. Based on my experience, book out two weeks of time for yourself, if you can, and learn a new pattern. It does feel really good to have extra physical energy and mental vitality each day.

The Android app is here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

I now have a Fitbit Surge becasue I like tracking other things:

https://www.fitbit.com/eu/surge

Interestingly, the Android app can be setup to record sounds at night, so you can track what you say in your sleep, or how often you 'pass gas' or snore :-)

EDIT: For those comments about trouble getting up with alarms and snoozing, the Android app above 'knows' the right time to wake you based on your sleep cycles and I found this to be an amazing experience. I recall the trial period allows all features and it is very customisable. I currenlty use a JBL Horizon alarm clock, it fades in the alarm sounds while fading in a room light, amazing stuff. Awesome clock.

I would start by finding a sleep monitoring app. It's helpful if you can present a log or graph of your sleep patterns to your doctor. I use Sleep as Android, personally.

Discuss it with your physician, and explain the research you've done and why you think it's an accurate diagnosis. If they agree, you'll be referred to a sleep specialist, who will nail down a diagnosis, and discuss options.

The unfortunate truth is that there isn't a "cure." These are neurological disorders that cannot really be fixed. From what I've seen, it basically comes down to a choice between drugs, or finding a way to live with it. Light therapy can help, but it didn't really change much for me.

I've found that I have an easier time when I work nights. Maintaining an 8-5 work schedule is not healthy for me. I'm constantly in a sleep deficit. I feel run down and generally terrible all the time. At one point I was experiencing microsleep on a daily basis at work. I'd be sitting at my desk around 3:00 PM, and I'd just drift off for several seconds at a time. I sometimes had legitimate auditory hallucinations during these episodes. Even if I slept the night before, it wasn't always restful sleep. Constantly living in that state is quite unhealthy for your heart as well. I have a family history of heart problems, so that was pretty concerning for me.

When I work nights, everything is much easier. I go in at 9:15 PM, and clock out at 6:10 the next morning. My cycle still drifts, but I feel like I have more flexibility. I just use the weekends to reset. How I'll manage things when I have a wife and a family, I have no idea, but for now, 3rd shift is working.

Anyway, the first steps are to log your sleep patterns, discuss it with a doctor, and see a sleep specialist.

This wasn't enough for me. My bedroom is very small, so this just wasn't enough. What really helped for me was Sleep as Androids Barcode-Scan-Feature: It forces me to get up, walk into the bathroom, turn on the light and be awake enough to scan the barcode on my toothpaste.

On another plus side Sleep as Android has a go-to-bed-reminder, tracks your sleep and helps you identify things that influence your sleep for the better or the worse (for example your intake of caffeine). Using it can be a bit indimidating at first because it is so powerful and has so much things you can edit and change and its design is not the tidiest. But ignore most of the settings at the beginning and you're good to go, the defaults are quite sane.

Edit: since you specifically asked about alarm tone: it comes with some nature sounds as alarm tone and so far they have succeeded in waking me up every morning. It also allows for a "Backup-Alarm" which will start blasting if you don't respond to the first, gentle alarm after a set time.

I know that the app sleep as android has this feature (both in the phone and for the watch)

Well, if you have an android device...

Sleep as Android gives you a reminder of when to go to sleep... As well as track your sleep cycles and wake you up in the light sleep cycle close to your target alarm time.

Here's a link to the free version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I use Sleep as Android it works pretty well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Advice for waking up

Can his phone use NFC? When I was having a lot of trouble with my wake-up times I got a package of NFC tags. I set up an alarm to only be able to turn off if I tapped the tag with my phone, and put it to the shrillest, most annoying alarm I had. The result was that I had to get out of bed to turn off my alarm, so I couldn't kill it while half-asleep anymore.

If his phone is an Android phone, Sleep As Android works really well with NFC, and it gives options for having to solve puzzles to turn off the alarm (counting sheep, or solving a math problem).

If that's not an option, I would suggest a shrill alarm clock (loud enough to wake him) placed at the other end of his room, not by his bedside.

Advice for falling asleep

I would be more concerned why it is so difficult for him to wake up, though. In the case of both myself and my partner, we were/are sick (sleep apnea for him, sleep apnea and CFS for me) and weren't getting enough sleep.

If he has trouble getting to sleep, or experiences insomnia, it might be because of artificial lighting. He might want to install something like Twilight for his phone, and Redshift or f.lux for his computer. Wearing orange safety glasses can also help. There are also lights that you can program to shift to red in the evening, but they're still fairly expensive.

Edit: One other thing that's helped me is taking a very low dose of Melatonin (note that those are in micrograms) around bedtime. I've seen other people say that taking it earlier is better (around dinner, I believe?). Supposedly it starts off a cascade reaction for Melatonin production.

Also important is sleep hygiene. Bed should only be for two things: Sleep and sex. I'm really bad at this, myself, but when I'm actually following it, I have a much easier time falling asleep. If he goes to bed and can't fall asleep within half an hour, he should get up and go do something else for an hour (preferably not electronics related. I read when this happens) and then try again.

On the stock Clock app I'm not sure.

But on the Sleep As Android app there's an option to disable that. It's overall a great alarm app.

Although this won't stop the phone from turning on, it will at least alert you if it happens while your phone is in your pocket. As can be seen by my flair, I don't have Ambient Display (or whatever "active display" is) so I haven't tested with that. I have two profiles, neither of which is active if I'm taking a phone call or using Sleep as Android.

Profile: Accidentally powered on ? Event: Display On Application: Not Sleep or Phone State: Proximity Sensor Enter: Anon Abort Existing Task A1: Wait [ MS:500 Seconds:0 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] A2: Profile Status [ Name:Accidental on still? Set:On ] A3: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:2 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] A4: Profile Status [ Name:Accidental on still? Set:Off ]

Profile: Accidental on still? State: Proximity Sensor Application: Not Sleep or Phone State: Display State [ Is:On ]

Enter: Anon A1: (Vibrate Pattern or other action)

Obviously, customize the timings in the Wait statements to reduce false positives and false negatives. Sometimes I found it triggering when I'd just picked the phone up off a table and powered it on faster than the half second alotted. (I like to set it down face down.) I think the 2 second timing in A4 was probably a byproduct of impatience during testing.

As for what to use for alerting, I like to use "?" in morse code (..--..) with a 100 ms dot duration.

Although it seems like using the Display On event could be more wasteful (in power consumption) than using the Display State [ Is:On ] state, the latter could trigger many false positives. At one time, I didn't have the Proximity Sensor state in the first profile, but I got annoyed with how frequently it appeared in my Run Log, so I added it back. According to Sensor Readout, my CT406 Proximity Sensor uses 3.0 mA.

I think you can't, anyway, track sleep is useless, because you can't sync the data with Google Fit. I would recomend using your phone with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Personally I use Sleep as Android.

This alarm clock has a shot ton of options like this + sleep tracking etc https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Try Sleep as Android, will track your sleep cycles and wake you when you're closest to conciousness.

Play store link

I'm sure there's something similar if you use apple.

Another bonus is, if you tend to shut alarms off while still sleeping, you can set this app to require solving math problems, or scanning a qr code (or several other methods) before being able to disable the alarm.

An Android Wear watch (such as the Moto 360) and the app Sleep as Android would be just as effective. Plus the Moto 360 is way more useful than this ring.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I really like it because the alarm to wake up can also turn the lights in my room on, since I use Phillips Hue.

Couple things:

1. You can select which app to allow receiving notifications from. Like only texts, or only Whatsapp, or only Text and Messenger, and so on.
2. You can disable notifications from being sent to your Pebble. There's an option for that in the watch itself.
3. Morpheuz is cool. I prefer Sleep as Android. Most people know it for the smart alarm and sleep tracking and stuff, but they have a Pebble app too! And with the pebble app your phone doesn't need to be in your bed, it can track your sleep through the watch alone and sync it while you sleep. You can set up the alarm to ring the phone only, the watch only, or both the phone and watch.
4. Apps work without your phone unless they require phone data. Weather won't be updated without your phone. Morpheuz does work without the phone, I'm not 100% sure about Sleep as Android. The timer, built in alarm, and various other apps (including watchfaces) all work without your phone.
5. All the Pebble models are pretty much the same in terms of functionality. I'd say pick first whether you want color and a microphone or not. Then decide which design you like better. I have the OG Pebble and I'm the first to admit it's ugly as sin, but invaluable and I can't get through the day without it. I'm currently waiting on my PTS. I charge my OG Pebble around once every 5-6 days for 30-60min to get to full charge. 3 more days is cool, but the design of the PTS is what sealed the deal for me.

No? How did you come up with the reddit username "buzznights?"

I've found that the poorly-named Android app "Sleep as Android" does a much better job of showing me my nocturnal wiggling and twitching.

I'm in. This night I started using Sleep as an Android Yesterday I thought that I need to sleep better and decided to track my sleeping time.
And I strongly recommend Lux for your smartphone to cut out that blue light that makes you awake.
Day 1: I got 8 hours of sleep.

If you use an Android phone, this app is very good. It records sounds and movement, among other things. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dsleep+as+android&amp;pcampaignid=APPU_1_Y1e2Vf_fAYm1-QG0kojoAg

I dunno, once I started using Sleep As Android I started getting a better nights rest. No more days being groggy all day.

Besides that, I've also been able to put on different alarms on my phone so besides changing the time, I can also change the alarm. Which can range from LGs Good Morning to the ringtone in Crank to the one in Bedtime Stories to Torgue's guitar solos to R2D2 to this from Bruce Almighty to that Gummi Bears song and everywhere inbetween. The basic alarms aren't bad, but after a while you can become desensitized to them, hence changing it up. Also setting 5 alarms 2 minutes apart with a snooze of 10 minutes means you'll get up pretty quick! My old alarm clock radio snoozed for 15 minutes, which meant I'd fall back asleep.

Sleep as Android

I have tried this and really wish it would work consistently -- it worked great on some nights -- but I've decided it's not so good for couples.

• If I leave the phone between myself and my wife, it will pick up her movements and be inaccurate.
• If I leave it between my body and the edge of the bed, it will fall off at some point and wake me up (or maybe even break the phone).
• Third option I haven't tried: Leaving it under my pillow. I assume it might make my alarm noise too quiet, but I suppose I could test this on a day when it's OK to over-sleep. If the app does work under the pillow and the alarm noise is the only issue, I'd consider sticking with it and using a separate alarm.

So there's hope. I've certainly seen the light of waking up between sleep cycles. It's the best. May need a smartwatch to finally get this right. (I've been looking for one that doesn't have a microphone and can perform this sleep-cycle function while its radio transmitters are turned off.)

One could use Sleep as Android (Sorry, iPhone/Windows users) and set Nap time so you can sleep for 20 minutes. No need to guess or set an alarm :)

Interesting. I apologize for this. I use this setting in combination with an application profile for Sleep as Android, which works fine for me.

I use sleep as android. It does sleep tracking really well, works with SleepCloud so you can sync across devices once you jump device.

When you go to sleep all you do is start sleep as android on your pebble and your off to sleep with tracking! You can also start it on android device and it will ask you to launch the pebble app (in case you want to take a nap)

Sleep as android also handles naps!

Alarms can be snoozed and dismissed right on the watch. Sound will be played on the android and you can setup when the watch should start to vibrate :)

I setup CAPTCHA so when I do dismiss to fast I won't be able to fall asleep :) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Tracking steps I use google fit, it just works using little battery. I don't have to interact with it once setup. Plus google fit can sync with other fitness apps such as strava, endomondo, runkeeper I believe. I use Strava myself. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fitness

I use Sleep as Android. But I've also seen other alarm apps with restrictions for turning off the alarm (math problems, scan a QR code or NFC tag, shake device heavily, fill in a captcha...)

An alarm that wakes you up at the right moment on your sleep cycle.

I use Sleep as Android

It's hard to fix what you can't measure: If you don't already, consider using a sleep tracker (I'm a fan of Sleep as Android). This way, your alarm will go off when it's most likely to actually wake you up.

I have an app on my phone, Sleep as Android, which I use as my alarm. One of the settings means the only way you can turn off the alarm is to scan the correct QR code with your phone. My QR code is above my sink in the bathroom; it was above the kettle for a while for coffee purposes but soon discovered my bathroom needs are a little more urgent first thing.

Sleep as Android has an alarm that starts very faintly and gradually gets louder and louder. I wake up to very faint whale sounds every morning. I'm so attuned to the sound now that I wake up when when just as it starts My girlfriend appreciates that she doesn't have to wake up at 6am with me every morning because of an obnoxiously loud alarm.

Sleep as Android does this really well, also gives you a ton of options.

Sleep as Android also has this functionality, but with the added bonus of waking you up when you're in a lighter sleep stage or whenever your alarm goes off (whichever comes first within 30 minutes, or whatever you set, of your alarm time). Seriously great app.

I don't know much about sleeping too deep, but would an app like Sleep as Android help you?

It allows you to set a timeframe during which you want it to wake you up, and it'll wake you during a phase of light sleep.

Sleep as Android + Pebble app for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

This is possibly not helpful, but have you tried one of those alarm apps that tracks your movements and tries to wake you up during a light sleep phase?

Here's the one I used on Android for a while. It seemed to work well.

This sleeping app has a mode that records you whenever you make a sound. I recommend everyone give it a try if you want to freak yourself out a bit.

They probably use an app like Sleep as Android, or something similar. It will track how you toss and turn, and it can tell what stages of sleep you're in, so it only lets the alarm go off during a light part of your sleep cycle. The theory is if you're woken up during the lightest part of your sleep cycle, you'll be less groggy. Also the watch will vibrate in addition to your regular sound alarm that will come on a delay. This is a more gentile way to wake your body up.

Sleep as Android should do what you are after. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I've found as many as two solutions to this problem.

1) go to bed on time you sleepy gay bitch, whatever you're focusing on can wait until tomorrow.

2) I swear by the Sleep as Android app. Your leave it on your bed while you're sleeping and it will sense your movement and vibrations so that it only wakes you up when you're in the shallowest stages of sleep. It's like magic, I use it every night and only need one alarm.

When I got my pinetime I initially used the built-in alarm for a week or so to wake up slightly before my wife and daughter. I think I slept through it one time, so I'd definitely suggest a backup alarm as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

If you're using an android phone, I can highly recommend combining the app Sleep as Android that started supporting pinetime a while ago. I've been using that for quite some time now and have been really happy with it. It's using individual basic notifications to wake you up that increase in frequency the longer you don't react (turn the alarm off on your phone). It also has a backup alarm feature built in so once you turn off your pinetime alarm, you're done. You can even use the pinetime for rudimentary sleep cycle tracking based on movement that can try to wake you up during light sleep if you're into that kind of thing. That and the need to get up and walk to my phone to turn off the alarm has been working great for me, all the while letting my wife and daughter sleep through it.

Not sure about iPhone (though I'm sure there's something similar) but for android, there is an app called "Sleep as Android" that uses the gyroscope on your phone to track movement (you just place it near your pillow when you sleep).

It will then wake you when you are sleeping the lightest, meaning at the end of a sleep cycle. So you set an alarm, track your sleep, and then it wakes you up to a half hour before your alarm. I usually feel more rested when I can use that.

Sleep an Android is very good—and very disappointing, as it shows the actual time slept and not the time in bed, at least for me 😊. I found their tracking to be very good and often a lot better than Samsung's native tracking and can only say good things about their support.

Check out sleep apps. They use your phone's motion sensors to detect what phase of sleep you are in, and try to wake you up at a time such that you will not feel groggy.

Personal recommendation: Sleep as Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I believe they have a 7 day trial.

There are alarm apps that only allow you to disable the alarm by scanning a QR code. I put a copy of the QR code to turn off my alarm across the room, which forces me to get out of bed to disable the alarm.

I'll still occasionally convince myself that I can sleep for another 20 minutes without harm, but this setup has improved my ability to get up in the morning in a huge way.

If you have android, this link is the app that I use. If you have Apple... I have no idea if there's an equivalent.

And since this is the most common objection that I hear... yes, there's an option to disable the QR code requirement when you're traveling. I still keep a copy of the QR code in my luggage to be safe, but it's accurately detected travel for me so far.

Assuming you have an Android phone...but I'm hopeful to pair this app to the tracker for sleep metrics and have it wake me between sleep cycles.

Sure! It's called 'Sleep as Android', and I think it works best with a smartwatch that can actively track your vitals to determine sleep cycles. I personally use a galaxy watch 4, but the Apple Watch has a similar app that I'm sure works just as well!

I've been using Sleep as Android for years.

Sleep as Android might be worth a look. Not sure if it has everything you need, but it's worth a try at least.

Give Sleep a try. Works great.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I use Sleep As Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US

And I have it force me to scan two QR codes (one in my kitchen, and one in my bathroom) to turn off the alarm.

It's set up as a device admin, and I've turned on all the most extreme options;

• I cannot force stop the app
• I cannot reboot the phone (there is an extremely annoying backup method if this ever happens at the wrong time)
• I cannot silence the phone
• I cannot uninstall the app

These days? I don't even try to do any of the above mentioned workarounds. The psychological effect that it's had on me is that I know when that alarm rings, the easiest thing to do in order to make it stop is to walk over to the kitchen and then walk over to the bathroom, and by that point, I am awake enough to realize that I need to be fully awake and start my day.

I used Sleep as Android for about 6 months as I was transitioning from college to a full time job, and it was great at helping me get into the no-alarm lifestyle and cutting back on snoring. When I used it, it would listen for your snores, and gently vibrate the bed a few times to get you to break. Failing that, it would play increasingly louder noises. Turns out to break a snore you just need a slight impetus to change your rhythm without waking you up, and you're good for a while. It worked for me, somehow I rarely snore unless I'm napping now. I use the technique with my partner now, a slight nudge or squeeze and the snores stop for a while.

Sleep as Android ( Play store ) is a really good alarm app. It has tons off good features like where you need to do something extra to turn your alarm off like taking a picture of a qr code in another room, solve a simple math problem,.... . Some other features: - a backup alarm that plays on max volume after a configurable amount of time - turn on lights (and/or flashlight)

If you use the 'Sleep as Android' to set your alarms your android device initially they can be snoozed and then when the alarm is finally dismissed theis app can trigger your Sonos to play, for example, a radio station. This is achieved via Ifttt, using a Webhook and Ifttt's Sonos service.

I hope this helps.

I do a few things.

1. I started putting a pop socket on my phone, and the ..socket for it on my wall(like the pop socket holder thing the tab on the back of the phone clips into) with the charger. So the phone is AWAY from the bed in a specific spot I have to walk to

2. I set the phone up with a paired smartwatch (I use a cheap Amazfit one) and a sleep tracking app,(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep) so it wakes me up between sleep cycles with a bit that buzzes on my arm, and then buzzed every 10 minutes till I go to work, so I keep track of time.

3. I use an ereader at night, not a tablet, so I'm not looking at a moving screen, which makes it easier to fall asleep

If you're on Android, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

It can make your alarm wake you at a part of your sleep cycle that's easier to awake from. Each morning, it asks you to rate your sleep. Using that and the stats in gathers, you can dial in your ideal sleep amount. The methods of CBT-i may also be useful to find it, working from a sleep efficiency focus.

There's another app for them that's helped me fall asleep called MindDroid, and it's just an audio visual entrainment app. Lights and sounds to help nudge your brain into wakefulness or sleep brainwave patterns.

Sleep as Android by Urbandroid

Ova aplikacija radi uz bilo koji pametni sat ili pametnu narukvicu, ja koristim Mi Band 3 jer je najjeftiniji. Može i bez narukvice/sata, ali bolje je sa. Takođe sam platio premium verziju aplikacije, samo 210din jednokratno.

Aplikacija pre svega preko senzora na satu/narukvici prati tvoj ritam spavanja i detektuje lak i dubok san. To pre svega koristi da bi prilagodila idealno vreme alarma u opsegu koji si ti odabrao/la kako bi se probudio/la što odmorniji/a. Jedna od opcija u aplikaciji je i režim lucidnih snova gde povremeno u toku noći pušta zvuke koji podstiču lucidne snove. Nije garantovano da će uvek biti, ali imao sam ih s vremena na vreme.

Aplikacija ima i druge sjajne mogućnosti, poput više opcija za gašenje alarma a da te razbude, detektuje kada pričaš u snu ili hrčeš pa to snimi (pušta i zvuke protiv hrkanja kad ga prepozna), dugoročno pomaže da se stabilizuje bioritam spavanja... Ako spavaš sa još nekim u sobi može samo narukvica da ti vibrira za alarm i time ćeš se samo ti probuditi.

I find having to do math to shut off the alarm wakes up my brain nicely.

Do you mean this app: Sleep as android? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Per I wrote in the Tasker sub, as a self-proclaimed veteran of insomnia with a circadian rhythm that has fluctuated off sync roughly between 10 to 30 minutes each day, I have spent nearly two decades on alleviating sleep issues.

Regarding circadian rhythm specifically, the best advice is to ignore the endogenous psychosomatic consequences of the resulting notion and just categorically ensure your alarm goes off in the same window every single day regardless of whether you have anything to do or not (you can catchup on sleep debt in the evenings and if desperately needed on days off, catch up after a few hours so your brain is convinced it's already awake for the day.) You will notice a dramatic improvement across your life by just ensuring same time wakeups so try it for a few months so that you at least have something to compare against to make your own informed decision.

To ensure your optimal wakeup time lands in the same window and so pulls you out of the correct sleep cycle so as to realign your sleep spindles, I would have a look at Sleep As Android and it's sonar detection or wearable integration if you have something like a watch or fitness tracker.

To ensure you wake up successful, set your first alarm as a gradual volume, human voice mixed with very high two-tone, asking you to wake and then using Sleep As Androids 'multi-captcha' to require a series of increasingly difficult tasks. I personally start with 'Simple maths,' follwed by 'Typed maths,' 'Captcha captcha' and then finally 'mirrored text-' all set to intermediate on days off and hard when I have early meetings. The second (and third alarm if needed,) can then insist one scans a NFC/QR/barcode in a different room (which is key to actually getting up.) I personally use NFC.

So, as touched on, my initial alarm consits of an intermittent female human voice(as I'm a man so react to female voices,) intermittent multi pitched tones(at least one very high and one low) and intermittent birds singing (as I grew up in the country side so react to the birds chorus.) Whilst it's never reached that point, I also have a backup emergency which includes this alarm sound. If you like, you could also set another alarm to a local playlist or online radio, etc.

In the evenings, I also trigger a wind down routine from Sleep as Android calculations that introduces a selection of gradually increasing yawning sounds intermixed with theta and delta waves. One doesn't really hear anything early on and are usually ready for bed before they get loud enough to notice.

Another thing to take into account is how long each of your sleep cycles last for. For most people this is about 45 minutes so it's imperative that you don't wake up mid cycle. Therefore, if for example you wake up after 6 hours(4 cycles,) if you don't have a full 45 minutes available to complete another cycle, you are better off simply getting up and catching up on that single sleep cycle debt one evening.

Also, very important to remove all blue light from your TV screens, device screens and ambient lighting many hours before bedtime and if possible, buy a daylight bulb or SAD light wall to blast your retinas early in the morning once fully awake (or go outside first thing!) Removing blue light is key as it tells your brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus (located in the hypothalamus) that the sun has gone down so it's time to sleep. This is when it sends a message down the spinal cord and up to the pineal gland for it to produce melatonin.

I've been 'brain hacking' long before it became 'a thing' but do welcome the very recent increase in awareness of things like Nootropics. For sleep, melatonin is key so you could start that journey with montgomery cherries supplements, etc. Perfect to stack but wise to cycle .

Plus, tons of other advice regarding sleep hygiene, etc.

I've been using Sleep as Android for a while. Uses your sleep patterns to wake you up at optimum times. Great set of options to help you from stop cheating your alarm clock as well

Look at the motion and heart rate data. Maybe you started tossing and turning at 6:57? Use it in combination with a Sleep as Android.

That's exactly what the app does, but it requires a 3rd party app on your phone as well as on your watch and is apparently quite the battery hog.

You can on android too, no need for the watch https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

You can even hook it into your MQTT server or send web hooks from it.

That won't be that easy to accomplish since you need several apps / devices interacting with one another. You'd probably need to invest quite a bit of time into setting that up properly.

Sleep as Android can generally detect when you're awake or in light sleep. Works best with a smart watch /fitness tracker, but there is an option to detect movement by placing the phone next to you on the mattress.

My suggestion (Options a, b & c) :

1. Sleep as Android (detect awake)

2a. Send trigger to Tasker app and continue from there

OR

2b.1. Send trigger to IFTTT that creates a notification on your phone

2b.2. Make MacroDroid app trigger when receiving the notification, and make it open and start your podcast app

OR

2c.1. send trigger to IFTTT which then sends a command to Amazon Echo Dot (as a routine)

2c.2. Create a routine within the Alexa app that plays your podcast on the Echo Dot via the available podcast apps for Alexa

It's not actually too difficult to set up with SaA, IFTTT and Alexa (+ the supported podcast app) I think. Maybe there's an easier way though.

I'm using an app called Sleep as Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I'm sure there are similar apps for iphones.

It gives you the option to solve a captcha to turn the alarm off. You can, however, allow yourself x number of snoozes if that matters to you as it does to me. Most of those captchas don't really work in practice, but some of them require you to scan a QR code or NFC tag (the latter works better) for the alarm to go off. So what I've done is to put the NFC tag somewhere in the kitchen or even bathroom, which forces me to get up to turn the alarm off.

Do I sometimes go back go bed? Yes. Do I sometimes turn my phone off instead of getting up? Yes, but there's a setting for that as well.

So it's not a foolproof system, but it's far and away the easiest way for me to get up in the morning (within a reasonable timeframe), and it's made a huge difference for me compared to before I began to use it.

The one thing you need to remember, though, is to not use that app when you're not in your own home (unless you take the NFC tag with you).

I don't know what you're trying to do but if you're using Tasker it means you're on Android.

What I use for alarms is Sleep As Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep which has options buried in its settings for MQTT and Tasker, and also Web hooks. I have used Tasker in the past and am currently using MQTT.

So what happens is my alarm goes off and (if connected to my WiFi, meaning I have to be home) it'll send an MQTT message saying my alarm is going off.

This MQTT message turns on my bedroom light and hallway light.

If I snooze the alarm another MQTT message is sent and my lights will go back off.

If I stop the alarm another message is sent in MQTT too. There's a bunch of messages that can be sent for your HA to react to. Check it out.

If you have Android, I love the Sleep As Android app for this. It's so easy to see when you were moving and play back the audio clips of loud noises like snoring.

Since the sleep data of the GW with Samsung Health make no sense at all to me I use Sleep as Android. It works like a charm with the Wearables Plugin. Just make sure that you turn off the intern Sleep Monitoring on the GW.

Sleep As Android has various methods for turning off the alarm. You can also disable snoozing.

If you're an Android user there is an amazing app Sleep as Android that has MANY wonderful features such as sleep tracker that can trigger your alarm within a window closest to your wakeup time that you are most awake.

It also has a devilishly wonderful feature that makes you scan a qr code to turn off the alarm. I initially put the code in the bathroom so I'd get up and go in there... Might as well get started with the day since that would be my fist stop anyway!

I finally got used to that and now moved the code to my vitamin bottle since I could never remember to take my vitamins... Now I'm literally holding them to turn off the alarm... Might as well take them.

There are similar apps for IOS but nothing as full featured as the android app.

I use Sleep for my sleep tracking. It's alarm clock has some interesting features, those are kinda take it or leave it. It doesn't have a music player or anything for meditation, but it has a decent selection of white noise and ambient sound, though I've never used those.

Be careful with that sonar tracking, though. I blew out my speakers with it because I put it in the wrong frequency.

The app Sleep as Android is a better way to monitor nighttime breathing problems and apnea.

Possibly. For this detecting apnea, get the app Sleep as Android, which does sound recording. That's a better tool--you'll hear snoring punctuated by long pauses & sudden snorty breathing re-starts. And your SpO2 levels may be above 90 while that's happening.

If you are using SleepAsAndroid — which is currently on sale, -50% — Tasker can react on Alarm Dismissed. So a chaining of the task(s) should be easily done.

care to share the link to the app, might try it, i use sleep as android for my sleep tracking

As said sleep as a android, rock solid, works with a lot of smart things. Highly recommend to pay the pro version. I love the fact that it wakes you when it's time, so that you don't feel shit in the morning. I have been using it for 6 years, it's really good

here is the app

There's an Android app called sleep that does exactly that.

There is an Android app that is similar. It doesn't invest any money in the stock market but you put a deposit down and if you don't get up or cheat the system you lose the deposit. I've been using the app for years although I have never turned on the deposit feature. I just have the captcha code in my bathroom that I have to scan to turn it off. Had kept me from sleeping in many many times. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Not sure about the google fit part (a search says it should just work) But alternatively you can try Sleep as Android

I have it and it is great. It's also good for the smart alarm where you can give it a period of time before your alarm time, eg. 20 mins and it will wake you up during light sleep.

I like it so much I paid for the pro version. Dev is super helpful and responsive in the two times I had issues (both were user error!)

Sleep as Android is one of the top rated Sleep apps (on Android). The trial is a limited time, I forgot what the limits were, I think a week or two full featured, then I think sync or history or records will be deleted? Something like that. But it's good enough to figure out if you have a problem during the trial period. I think you can salary uninstall it and restart the trial by downloading it again if you really need to. But I was so impressed I bought the full app. If you have a smartwatch to pair it with you can get even more detailed info, but it also works with just your phone

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I've been using Sleep for a while now and I'm very happy with it. Customizable tracking, smart alarms, it has everything I would want from a sleep tracker

Sleep As Android can be set up to work like this. Check it out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

In case it's not really reliable for you, there is also the wear os widget that you can open and it starts the tracking automatically. I know you said you don't want to press anything but at least in this case you can just open the app and that is it

I don't know one with this feature but if it's for wake up alarm I recommend Sleep as Android you can set tasks to complete and stop alarm ringing.

EDIT: It works in a way that it detects your movement, which basically means your sleep paralysis is ending, and so is your REM. Unfortunately, some people move during their dreams even thru sleep paralysis, which might set off false alarms.

If you are on Android, I use this app as an alarm, and it's been kinda life changing. Totally fixed my sleep schedule. Ridiculous amount of features for an alarm app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

If you're on Android, this one is excellent too.

I have to be up by 7:00am at the latest, so it will wake me up somewhere between 6:15-7:00am, waiting until I'm not in a deep sleep cycle anymore.

It also links to my smart light bulb in my lamp, and very gradually increases the brightness as it very gradually increases the alarm volume. It was a game changer for me.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I think this one is what you're looking for

There's quite a few out there and Google has been slow to improve their Google Fit app. They did just acquire Fitbit, so I assume something will eventually come from that.

Sleep as Android is still super popular (10M+ downloads), but it didn't work with Fitbits like it did with the WearOS system from Google. Possibly it might in the future?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Sleep as Android with WearOS plug in should do it for you. Here's a picture of what it looks like.

Sleep as Android been working for me

Do you snort? I have been using this app called Sleep on android for years and it would frequently tell me I snorted 60% of the night and to get checked for sleep apnea and I ignored it for way too long. The second I started to use the CPAP machine it went to 0-2% per night. It support some oximeter too. Might want to try that app. It give you a lot of info on your sleep and might help convince your doctor to try a sleep study if you show him the info it gathered about your sleep.

Edit: this one .. I use it as my alarm too. It try to wake you up in a light sleep cycle so you are not so tired when you wake up. You don't have to use it as an alarm tho.

Get a smart alarm app on your phone and use the NFC function, if your phone doesn't have NFC you can use the qr code too. We live in the future.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I don't know for sure it can do this, but I would investigate Sleep as Android. It is the best at sleep tracking and probably has the ability to do this buried within its settings.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I used to use this app years ago. It has an option that makes it so you have to scan a QR code or NFC tag to disable your alarm. If THAT doesn't wake you up, you have bigger problems lol

I first learnt about this from Don Quijote:

«Don Quixote obeyed nature so far as to sleep his first sleep, but did not give way to the second, very different from Sancho, who never had any second, because with him sleep lasted from night till morning, wherein he showed what a sound constitution and few cares he had.»

That Sancho, really ahead of his time and culture! ;)

Lots of articles around:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biphasic_and_polyphasic_sleep

https://www.google.com/search?q=we+used+to+sleep+twice

But no hard facts.

It's a bit more clear-cut with sleep cycles, and even cheap smartphones can run apps like Sleep as android, which do a good job of waking you up when you exhibit movement --and hence, you're in light sleep; waking during deep sleep, when your body is basically paralysed, produces grogginess and battered puppies.

Good you're not being possessed. I was worried about it. You can while you feel the presence ask them to please leave

The spirit is trying to use your energy to manifest, the worse you feel the more they take.

You can do 1 of 2 things. You can do a egg cleanse, it makes your energy slippery like oil, you want to use the Lord's prayer while you do that. I read through a lot online and they use the same ideals just different ways.

But if you don't want to do that, you can use this as to get audio, put your phone on the charger and put by the area. This link is audio only https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep , this link does both https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu

If you don't want to buy twice (or more) use Philips/Signify Hue. Most flexible and best working. As Idk if that works with the BlueTooth only option I advice to use the Hue bridge (v2, v1 is EOL) . To be triggered by alarm time us Sleep As Android - dims up the specified light/scene at alarm.

I bought AutoHue after SaS so I can't estimate if Tasker + AutoHue is enough for alarming. If you set alarms within Tasker then the answer is yes.

yeah, the gen 5 fossil has the Qualcomm 3100, which isn't that great and has no cHRM support by hardware. So the sleep or heart rate tracking must all be done by the software in wear os. The google fit on wear os doesn't have a sleep tracking app yet and fossile doesn't make one for its consumer either. Maybe you can try a third part app like &quot;Sleep as Android&quot;. The new chip may allow dev like me to do health related research and software development much easier, which also unfortunately may require consumer to buy a new watch. MobVoi, the TicWatch maker will probably release a new watch with the new 4100+ chip later this year.

You can do that with Sleep For Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Welcome to Parenting.

&#x200B;

As a 2-time father the best info I can give you is this:

&#x200B;

SLEEP WHEN THEY SLEEP. Naps are your best friend. Let the laundry pile up, screw vacuuming, order pizza or udon with Tofu...whatever. Just get the rest where and when you can. I know its not possible all the time and getting a full 8 hours is, at this point, a fevered dream at best. If they go down for a nap, then YOU go down for a nap. Full stop.

I know this is not directly linked to the issue you posted, but to be honest, Tracking everything right now in your situation is really impossible as well as useless. You will never measure up to what Garmin recommends, and as with my Venu, "Naps don't count" So fuck tracking right now. Stop staring at your watch and just listen to your body. Nap when the little one does, and have friends help out with the other stuff. Soon enough they will be in daycare or kindergarten and next thing your kid is 10 and starting 5th grade in September and you'll think to yourself, "Man, I could use a nap. He got so big so fast. Maybe I'll go for a run."

**edited to add** If you really want to, check out Sleep as Android. They also have a Garmin app that works on my Fenix 5, and you can tell it when you are sleeping. Tracking seems pretty OK from what Ive seen first hand.

I use Sleep As android on my Gen 4 Explorist and like it quite a bit. You do have to turn it on before bed, though, and it'll give you an amount of minutes to fall asleep before it starts tracking.

I bought the app "Sleep as Android" exactly for the purpose of monitoring whether I had sleep apnea.
It does exactly the same things as "the Sleep Cycle" from what I can gather, and they have a neat website and seem to do do a lot of research themselves, so I thought I would add them as a suggestion.
I thought it was funny to hear myself snore at first, but now I'm worried because I've read that a loud snore can actually damage your hearing.

Sorry, I make a mistake it's Sleep A as Android. Link it's here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep You need official Mi Fit and N&F to make Sleep as Android work.

Not OP but if you have an android check out sleep as android lots of different things you can set up to prevent you from disabling the alarm. I have mine setup so that I have to get up and scan a QR code, then do a math problem before I can turn the alarm off.

Sleep as Android. Even better if you have a smart watch that you wear. It will link to it and within a set period (time determined by you, I have mine to 20 mins) it will wake you at the lightest part of your sleep cycle closest to your alarm. So, I might wake up 15 mins before my actual alarm time because of that, but I'm not in a deep sleep cycle. You can also pick the sounds it will wake you up with. I have mine set to fade in Adagio In D Minor

Sleep as Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

it has multiple captcha's of which the QR-Code is one.

I use Sleep as Android. The sunrise alarm is nice, it start off at a dim red and gradually changes to bright white.

However, I have the paid version so I'm not sure if the bulb support is available in the free version.

I have a similar thing on my phone although it's a bit more extreme. I have given the app extra privileges so that I can't force close it or do anything until I scan an NFC tag in the bathroom. The app also hides the shutdown menu on my phone so the only thing I can do is hold the power button which restarts the phone and the alarm resumes when the phone restarts.

The issue is that it only works about 30% of the time. As in the other 70% of the time I'll get up, take my phone from the other side of the room, go to the toiler which is 2 rooms away from my bed, deactivate it then go back bed and somehow fall asleep. There have even been times where it wakes me up but I manage to ignore the alarm for long enough to fall asleep again. This is with sleep cycle tracking and 6+ hours of sleep.

Sometimes I think I may have a problem...

Sleep as Android and I can +1 to the app being great for sleep tracking (although I don't use the smart alarm feature.)

I recommend Sleep as Android. It works well with Android and provides sleep sounds. I don't use the sleep sounds, but I do integrate with tasker. When I turn on sleep tracking, Tasker contacts my home automation which turns off the lights and sets the thermostat.

Sleep as Android

I’m also better with iOS as well, but sometimes I miss some of my very important apps like this one and Sleep as Android (that one too I miss it sooo much, there is no app like that on iOS)

edit: typos

I use sleep as android to track my sleep already, and it's pretty darned popular on Android. I don't think i'm willing to give up this app to try/use another, so I thought I'd ask/suggest that you look into integrations anywhere you can.

Sleep as Android is my go-to.

It has NFC capability, too, so if you have tags -- or even a tap-to-pay credit/debit card -- it makes you touch your phone to it to kill the alarm. Best in another room like the bathroom!

You guys seriously need to fix your waking time. Download one of those smart alarms that follows your cycle and see if that helps. Ideal to test out during quarantine because they're not very useful when you need to wake up for work (there is a +-45 minute difference in your alarm time).

One example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&amp;hl=en

The Sleep as Android is also good and has this feature (QR code instead of barcode) as well as being unable to turn off the phone or close the app. This helps when it forces you to get up. For getting back into bed, well, I don't know the solution to that.

Searching on Google Play Store on the watch is horrible...install it from the main app store and then it will prompt you to install the watch companion app...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

I'm pretty sure it is, it removes the blue light on a schedule to coincide with the day/night cycle. I used twilight in the past, and that's what it seemed to do too.

But from the same developer, Sleep as Android is definitely a must have alarm clock app!

I use mine as an alarm clock and sleep tracker.

Idk if you have and Android or Apple but if you have Android I paid for Sleep with Android and it has a ton of features to help you wake up. My personal favorite is it will have you solve a little math problem, nothing complicated (ie "3x7+8=" ) just something to get the brain going. But it has lots and lots of features and it can track your sleep and help you know when to go to sleep. It's great And I have thought twice about buying it.

new fitbit user here (inspire hr) and i've not had this issue yet. now forgetting to put my watch on before blacking out asleep..that'll do it.

for nights i forget my watch and i don't feel like going across the house to grab it, i use this app called sleep as android. sometimes i'll run and track with my fitbit and the app just to see which one's calucating differently.

Sleep as Android has tasker intergration. You can hook up an event to when an alarm is dismissed.

Here's the link

There are apps that record snoring. You just need to set the app up and put it near the bed at nighttime.

Android Track your sleep, wake up gently and refreshed in optimal sleep phase. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

It's not a native feature of the Suunto 7, you need to install an app for that. A popular one for Android/WearOS is 'sleep as android'

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep

Sleep As Android has a great feature that forces you to solve some kind of test/puzzle before the alarm can be snoozed/turned off.

It can even be configured to stop you forcing the phone to restart or turn off!

Sleep as Android.

You'll need the phone app (above) and companion app for the watch (available in the Galaxy Store). A bit of a battery hog, but the sleep tracking is far more accurate than the built in sleep tracking, and it has about a bazillion features.

I use this one. Lots of bells and whistles.

Amk hafta sonları da aynı saatte kalkıyorsun dimi? Sleep as android diye bir uygulama var, bunu dene belki işe yarar. Uygulamayı kullanmakta zorluk çekebilirsin ama 1-2 güne ne bok olup bittiğini anlarsın.

I use Sleep app as my alarm app. It has tons of features and can also control my hue lights.

One of its features is to turn off alarms by NFC tags. This forces me to stand up and walk across the room to turn off the alarm in the morning. That makes it very hard or almost impossible to sleep again.

I can recommend it 😁

PS: you can buy tons NFC tags very cheap online, I got them from Amazon.

You're better of trying the app Sleep as Android

I downloaded an alarm app called Sleep as Android, it has a bunch of features but for me the only important one is that it allows you to set up multiple different ways to shut off your alarm. One of them is that you have to complete a math problem before the alarm will shut off. It's often something like "3 * 10 + 6 =?". Not hard problems, but it is enough to make you have to wake up and think for a second. There is another mode that I haven't used yet but am going to try. You print out a QR code and then put it somewhere like your kitchen or bathroom or whatever, and the alarm will not shut off until you get up and scan the code with your phone.

Something that can theoretically detect sleep apnea, FWIW, is the well-known Sleep as Android app: it can turn your phone into a "sonar" (using mostly inaudible ultrasounds, between 18kHz and 20kHz, you might hear them if you're quite young) that is used to detect your motions and track your sleep, but it even has the ability to detect the periodic motions of your chest to measure breathing rate. You can probably imagine from this description of how it does it that it's a long shot, and that most of the time, for most people, in real sleep, it won't be detecting it... but it does work given the right conditions — a phone model where the sonar trick works decently, and you sleeping with your chest turned towards the phone, and without bedsheets or blankets on. Maybe next summer?
