Poor analysis
The apps algorithm is a joke. I get the same level “high” whether I cough slightly four times a night or have bronchitis and literally cough all night long.
Disappointing - Sane Bug After Years
I used Sleep Cycle in the past and stopped using it because it had a serious alarm problem. I decided to download it again recently, assuming these bugs had finally been fixed.
Unfortunately, the exact same issue happened again.
I set my alarm for 7:30 AM, with the Smart Alarm window set to 7:00–7:30 AM, and selected my preferred alarm music. Around 4:00 AM, the app unexpectedly woke me up with a beeping sound instead. That is roughly three hours before my scheduled alarm and completely outside the Smart Alarm window.
When I checked the app afterward, the alarm was still showing 7:30 AM / 7:00–7:30 AM, but the sound was no longer what I had selected.
This is a sleep alarm app. If I can’t trust it to keep the time and alarm settings I selected, I can’t trust it to wake me up.
I came back because I thought these issues had been fixed. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed to find that I’m experiencing essentially the same problem I had years ago. I should not have to use a second alarm because I don’t know whether Sleep Cycle will actually follow the settings I chose.
Please fix the alarm reliability and stop changing/overriding user-selected alarm behavior.

Sleep getting better
Since I have been using the Sleep Cycle app I have found my sleep has improved significantly and I am now able to get to bed at a reasonable time and more importantly I get up at set time in the morning. It has taught me so much about my sleep. I have recommended Sleep Cycle to my clients/friends having difficulty with their sleep. It is amazing!
