Have you ever woke up and feel like you have been run over
by a Mack truck? Even if you go to bed early enough to make sure you got
enough sleep for the next day? I have fibromyalgia and sleep is very
important to me, it makes the difference in me having a good day or a bad one.
I found an app that works with both apple and android
phones. It is called Sleep Cycle and you lay the phone on your bed up by your
head area and leave it on while you sleep and it does all the work.
During the night you go through many stages of sleep, light,
deep, and a dream like sleep called REM. REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement,
this is where your eyes move in different directions quickly while you are
sleeping, this is also where you do most
of your dreaming. Sleep Cycle monitors your movements through the night which
helps to determine what sleep cycle you are in.
When you set the alarm there is a 30 minute window that the phone will
wake you up in your lightest sleep so you will wake up fresh and rested.
Sleep Cycle builds a graph to show you when you sleep the
lightest, deepest, and how much you move around in bed, making you feel
restless in the morning. You can also
share this information with your friends or even your doctor if you are having
sleep problems.
One of the nicest things about Sleep Cycle is you are not
listening to some harsh sound on your alarm clock. There are sounds like warm breeze, forest
glade, morning mist, or you can have one of your favorite songs wake you up.
You can download this app for 99 cents, a bargain that might be worth it.
