## What is Rouse?

Rouse reads your own Apple Health sleep data — live — and plans a wake-up window for tomorrow morning, tuned to your personal sleep-cycle length. Never a generic 90-minute rule: Rouse calibrates to you, and keeps updating as new sleep data arrives.

WHAT ROUSE DOES
• Learns your personal sleep-cycle length from your recent nights.
• Suggests tonight's bedtime and predicts tomorrow's wake-up window — always with a plain-language confidence indicator, no false precision.
• Updates live: as Apple Health receives new sleep data, your window quietly refreshes.
• Shows your sleep cycles for any night, honestly framed (consumer stage estimates are approximate).
• Tracks wake-time regularity — one of the best-evidenced levers for better mornings.
• Evidence-based sleep-hygiene guidance.

ROUSE PREMIUM (optional subscription)
• Live gentle wake — a soft, in-window escalation on iPhone or Apple Watch, never a jarring alarm.
• Confidence-ranked alternate windows (the earlier and later cycle boundaries).
• Morning check-in — rate your mornings and Rouse tunes your window from your own data.
• Sleep-debt awareness — your own sleep need, your current shortfall, and an earlier-bedtime nudge to recover.
• Chronotype & social jet lag — estimated from mid-sleep on your free days.
• Full Sleep Regularity Index — the minute-by-minute two-week SRI from the research literature.
Monthly or yearly (7-day free trial on yearly). Payment via your Apple ID; cancel anytime in Settings.

HONEST BY DESIGN
Rouse is a personalized planning tool, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose anything and never promises a "perfect" morning. Your sleep data is processed on your device and never leaves it.

Requires sleep data in Apple Health (e.g. from Apple Watch).
