Sleepcoach uses the science of sleep to help you sleep better. Most people know sleep matters. Few know what to actually do about it. Sleepcoach closes that gap with personalized, science-backed coaching built around your unique sleep biology. NEW: APPLE WATCH APP • Smart wake-up alarm: gentle haptics on your wrist, with a smart window that wakes you in light sleep • Sleep score, sleep stages (deep / REM / core) and sleep battery at a glance • Your next circadian step, bedtime countdown and daytime stress (from HRV) • Watch face complications: alarm, score + stages, sleep battery, stress, next step • Guided 4-7-8 and box breathing with haptic cues • Evening taps for wind-down and bedtime — no phone needed YOUR PERSONAL SLEEP SCHEDULE Tell Sleepcoach when you want to wake up, and it builds a full daily schedule around that: when to get morning sunlight, when to have your last coffee, when to start winding down, and when to be in bed — all timed to your chronotype and body clock. SMART DAILY NOTIFICATIONS Six personalized reminders at exactly the right moments: morning light, caffeine cutoff, wind-down start, and lights out. Not generic push notifications — yours, based on your wake time. MORNING LIGHT ADVICE The single most effective way to sleep better tonight is morning light exposure. Sleepcoach checks today's weather and tells you exactly how many minutes to spend outside.
