We all know that during our requisite sleep of the night/day, the body goes from light sleep cycle to deep sleep cycle and back again. If you wake up in the middle of the deep sleep cycle, you’d feel drowsy, drained of energy and like a zombie. To escape scar(r)ing your family, get the Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock app. It makes use of your phone's accelerometer to monitor your movements during sleep, provides statistics and graphs related to your sleep pattern and, of course, wakes you up during your light sleep phase. There is a customisable alarm window of about 90 minutes so you don’t accidentally oversleep. There is even a feature called Sleep Aid that helps in falling asleep, detects when you do and fades the sound, thus saving battery. The Sleep Notes feature can help you determine how changes in your daily activities or stress, affect your sleep pattern.
