Всем знакома ситуация, когда, поспав ночью относительно недолго, чувствуешь себя бодрым и веселым. А бывает наоборот - после 10-ти часов сна просыпаешься без сил, с головной болью и ужасным настроением. Этому есть научное объяснение: сон человека состоит из циклов, прерывая которые своим пробуждением, мы нарушаем процесс восстановления организма во сне. Перед Вами уникальный будильник, с помощью которого Вы будете высыпаться независимо от того, есть возможность поспать вдоволь или нет. Будильник имеет два основных режима: 1. "Когда лучше лечь спать" 2. "Когда лучше проснуться" В первом режиме Вы указываете точное время, когда должен зазвонить будильник, и приложение Вам подскажет, когда лучше всего лечь спать, чтоб проснуться в указанное время бодрым и выспавшимся. Во втором режиме Вам предоставляется на выбор несколько вариантов времени, на которое стоит завести будильник, если Вы собираетесь лечь спать прямо сейчас. Хорошего сна и приятного пробуждения!
