User reviews

Not for graveyard workers

I was excited to use this app that could help me get on track of my sleeping schedule, especially working graveyard, but the settings wouldn’t let me make my bedtime at 7:30am. So there was no point on keeping this app.

I love this App

I never wake up grumpy when I use this App. Please fix the sound problem. This App is worth $5 - $25 when working properly.

Terrible interface

Completely unintuitive and a mess

Love it

The circular interface is unique and a lot easier to understand than other sleep cycle apps. I really like seeing the sleep cycles visually instead of a list of numbers and times. It works great for me and I wouldn't want to change anything about it.

Unique, analog display interface

It's like an analog watch vs. digital display, and can quickly at-a-glance see all the different wake times.

When I usually use the app, I am half-asleep, so I don't need anything overly complicated to interpret, and don't want to have to input something then hit next to go to a different screen. I like how you can just rotate the dial to adjust, and the dial has graded colors showing times less than the recommended nine hours sleep as a darker color, and all the different times are right there on the same screen.

This app is nice where everything is right there, which makes it simple and easy to use, in my opinion.

I started using this after the 2014 update, and really like it. There are a ton of other apps if people want the same old thing, but this is has a really unique, easy on the eyes and aesthetically pleasing interface.

FAQ

What does this sleep cycle calculator do?

This app calculates your ideal sleep and wake times by considering natural human sleep cycles. It helps you understand why you might feel groggy even after a full night's sleep and suggests optimal times to go to bed and wake up to feel more refreshed.

How does it calculate sleep and wake times?

The app counts in sleep cycles, which are natural periods of rest. It takes into account how long it typically takes you to fall asleep and your desired wake-up time to determine the best time to initiate sleep, and vice versa.

Is there a cost to use this app?

The core functionality of the app is free. However, certain features, such as the ability to set an alarm, are available via in-app purchase.

What are the benefits of using a sleep cycle calculator?

By waking up between sleep cycles rather than in the middle of one, you are more likely to feel refreshed and less groggy. This can lead to improved overall health and well-being, even if you have had fewer hours of sleep.

Can I customize the app's appearance and sounds?

Yes, the app offers multiple themes to make it visually appealing and easier on the eyes. It also provides a selection of multiple wake-up sounds to choose from.
