-------------------------------------------------------
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.
-------------------------------------------------------
Sleep Cycle also saves your sleep data and displays a detailed sleep graph and sleep statistics for every night you use it.
Sleep Cycle was developed using proven sleep science and five months of exhaustive testing.
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.
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.

Customer Reviews
Doesn't work with Touch!!
Really too bad, this sound like a great app. I purchased this based on the assurance, stated clearly on the page above, that it would work with my Touch. It wouldn't sync. I went to the app's support page where it says they do NOT support the Touch. Luckily, I only wasted a buck.
No more snooze button
For as long as I can remember I constantly oversleep and just hit the snooze button and fall back asleep. When I finally did wake up I felt more tired than when I went to sleep. The very first day I got this app that changed. I get out of bed within the same minute of turning off the alarm on this app and I'm alert and awake and feel refreshed. At first I thought it was just a four star app though because I really wanted to see the graphs of my sleep pattern. Now that they added that feature this app is definitely five star.
Very Useful
I am a psychologist, I am a sleep specialist but this application is very practical. Of course the actual concept is much more useful than it's execution in this app, it is close enough to not even notice the difference!
