How good is your sleep? If you are anything like me, it varies wildly. It can be an awesome night’s sleep, or a nightmarish, I-still-have-so-much-to-do type of night. Smart Alarm Clock can (at the very least) find out your sleep patterns.
There has been a surge of sleep pattern apps in the App Store. The basics of all these apps are the same: you put your iPhone (or iPod Touch, or even iPad) below your pillow and the accelerometer will catch your movements. Since movement while sleeping is strongly correlated with REM periods (when you dream) and deep sleep periods (when you get most rested,) they can help you analyze how good is your sleep.
What all these apps have different is all the extra nuts and bolts. And Smart Alarm Clock has a lot of nuts, and a lot of bolts. First, you can set a pre-sleep music. For example, you can set soothing beach and seagulls for 20 minutes, then it will fade into silence. Or you could put Black Sabbath if that’s your thing: you can add your own tracks to it. The app has several different alarm modes (which is a neat bonus not all other sleep cycle alarm apps have).
The best type of alarm (for my tastes, of course) is the sleep cycle alarm. All people have different sleep cycles (I checked mine once and it’s around 74 minutes.) You are more likely to wake up naturally at the end of a cycle, and Smart Alarm Clock with sleep cycle alarm will wake you up just then, at the end of the cycle that allows you to wake up before the alarm rings (so you are not late!) On wake up time, your selected track will start, slowly to wake you up naturally.
Smart Alarm Clock also records thorough statistics about movement and sleep quality, has an auto-configuration mode to set-up the app from day one. It also has sensitivity settings, which you can tune to the strength of your matress and depending on how old your iPhone or iPod Touch is.
Finally, it has a wide array of in-app purchases of specially soothing wake up tracks, or binaural beats enhanced tracks. The ability to add your own, though, makes this more a gift to the developers (and composers) more than a chore you have to go through.
In short: Smart Alarm Clock is an awesome alarm app. Get it this Christmas!
