-------------------------------------------------------
* Sleep Cycle monitors your movement during sleep using the extremely sensitive accelerometer in your iPhone.
* Sleep Cycle then finds the optimal time to wake you up during a 30 minute window that ends at your set alarm time.
* Look at the screenshots for recommended iPhone placement.
-------------------------------------------------------
As you sleep you go through different phases that range from deep sleep to light sleep. The phase you are in when your alarm clock goes off is a critical factor regarding how tired you will feel when you wake up.
Since you move differently in bed during the different phases, Sleep Cycle uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to monitor your movement to determine which sleep phase you are in.
Sleep Cycle then wakes you in your lightest sleep phase.
Sleep Cycle was developed using proven sleep science and over a year of testing.
Sleep Cycle also saves your sleep data and displays a detailed sleep graph and sleep statistics for every night you use it.
Remember! Do NOT lock your phone when going to bed. Sleep Cycle automatically shuts down your screen and puts the phone into a power saving mode. If you lock your phone Sleep Cycle will not sense your movement and will then only be able to wake you at the end of the alarm time.
PLEASE NOTE: When Sleep Cycle is placed on a TABLE or FLOOR during the entire night it becomes extremely sensitive to movement. On some devices noise from the accelerometer can then be interpreted as movement and a random-looking graph is created. As long as you place Sleep Cycle according to the instructions it will correctly interpret movement and create correct graphs.

The Dude abides
The Dude sometimes needs to be eased out of slumber much like a bear an the wild. I recommend choosing some far-out whale calls as your alarm. That or some Creedence. Overall this app really ties my phone together.
Not so...Great App
Redoing my review after realizing I had been scammed. The graph is FAKE! Seriously! Test it for yourself by placing it on a solid surface over night. The graph still produces results! I guess I could be wrong... Maybe an earthquake hit during the night I the phone read that.? Not!
Total scam
This app claims to Observe your movements while you sleep. The less you move the deeper your sleep. I put mine on a dresser for a week instead of on my bed and to my surprise I received the same reading as if it was right next to me. It is just a glorified alarm clock. If you have the app try putting it on the dresser or nightstand and notice how the reading doesn't change much or at all.
