I've started waking up refreshed thanks to a sleep app!

Episode 42
Hi everyone, it's Ao😄

This time, I'd like to introduce the app that supports my morning routine.

I just can't wake up in the morning.

I went to bed early, but I don't feel like I slept much.

I just can't feel refreshed.

I'm incredibly sleepy.

This was me almost every day.
I'm sure many others have the same problem!

Apparently, this is because
the timing of waking up isn't good. I've heard of REM and non-REM sleep, and I vaguely know that we cycle between deep and light sleep.

In short,

if you're forced awake by an alarm while in deep sleep, you won't wake up feeling refreshed, right? That's what it's about.

So, I set a window for waking up between 5:30 and 6:00, and

I use an app to make sure the alarm goes off at the optimal time. The app is this one


[Sleep Cycle]

I tried the one-week free trial, and now I'm using the paid version (
3,000 yen/year).

I haven't used all the features yet, but it's great that it wakes me up at the optimal time.

When I set it to wake me up at 6:00, the alarm goes off at the best time between 5:30 and 6:00.

You can choose from several alarm sounds, and I wake up every day to the sound of birds chirping.

I originally hated being woken up by jarring alarm sounds, so I used songs with slow, quiet starts like "Gymnopédie" or "Harry Potter" at the lowest volume.

So, when I found the birds chirping, that was it for me.
It wakes me up comfortably.
(Though sometimes I can't tell if it's the alarm or real birds)

It also records things like how long I'm in bed, my sleep duration, and consistency, turning them into numbers and graphs, so it's also useful for improving sleep.

When your data is tracked every day, it makes you want to do things properly!
It's a nice kind of pressure (lol)

I just happened to find this app, but why not find an app that suits you and get a pleasant wake-up call?

This time, it was about
He who conquers the morning, conquers the day! Just kidding (´>∀<｀)ゝ
.
See you later!

It was Ao😄
