The French were clearly struggling to wake up: the application of best-selling iPhone / iPad time would stand on the right foot. With the sweet name Intelligent Alarm, the program allows users to specify a time of awakening, rather than a specific time. The application, as Sleep as Android on Android phones, so take care to wake up to the most appropriate time, analyzing your sleep cycles.

This will wake you up after a cycle (consisting of five phases of sleep deeper and deeper and lasts about two hours in total) without interrupt, allowing you to emerge much more easily and avoid the feeling of waking up exhausted. And do not panic. If you sleep too deeply during the half-hour set, the alarm will ring at the deadline, as a traditional alarm clock

A smartphone enough

For a few euros, these applications would thus avoid painful awakenings and that by simple processes that require no additional hardware. Programs use either the accelerometer of your phone, lying on the mattress to detect movement of your body (muscle activity is strictly related to the phases of sleep), or the microphone to analyze the sounds you make. In the morning, you can admire the curve of your sleep and estimate its quality.

Even better, you can configure the application to automatically start recording when sound. Each morning, so you can “hear” your night. You will discover a choice of what you woke with a start, what you say in your sleep, or proof that your spouse (e) snores more than reason. In this regard, an option to also trigger a slight vibration in case of excessive snoring (often a sign of bad breath and therefore poor sleep) to avoid it. In use, if the feature is a bit gimmicky, it proves entertaining and surprisingly accurate.



Sleep as Android allows you to view and listen to the place of each of your nights. A curve is flat, the better you sleep. Analysis of cycles is quite reliable and the number of options outstanding. Sound recordings are often not very interesting but sometimes full of surprises.


Other options make these little more useful programs. A little message will remind you that it is for example bedtime 8:00 before waking programmed (you can obviously change your ideal length of sleep). You can also view the history of your nights in the long term to try to see through your sleep phases. The Captcha option will force it to make a puzzle in the morning to avoid pressing “accidentally” on snooze. More surprisingly, a feature helps you to experiment in “lucid dreams” by broadcasting a slight sound indicating that you sleep when deep sleep is detected.

If the use of these applications is simple, the fine tuning of some take some time to less tech savvy, due to a relatively high number of options . Some may also find these programs, pay, make figure gadget or refuse categorically to sleep a few minutes less. But for those who live or awakening as an ordeal for the curious who want to know more about their sleep, they can be very useful, especially as trial versions are often available.
