Mornings, to me at least, are one of the most unnatural things in this world. I hate getting up in the morning. So much that I tend to go to bed in the morning and wake up at some point in the afternoon. The problem, for me is that it is not always that easy to wake up a whatever time I choose. It is easy to find that I have slept through the entire day only to wake up long after the sun has gone down. I have tried many an alarm clock none have seemed to have had much success for me. Until now that is.
May I present Sleep Time – Alarm Clock. Their aim to to find the perfect time to wake you up using the accelerometer of your phone. That way when you wake you will not feel like crap but you will feel refreshed. I did not believe it, I really did think they were trying to pull a fast one on everyone.
However I have been using it for the last week and it does exactly what it claims to do. Every morning that I have used it I have indeed woken up feeling refreshed. By chance I did forget to set it on a couple of nights. Those nights when I wokr the next day I was back to feeling like crap again.
On a ‘normal’ day I would set my alarm for around 2pm. And sure enough between 1.30pm and 2pm I have found myself being woken up. Their claim of finding the perfect moment within a 30 minute window to wake you has been spot on. So much what I have done is duh out one of my old phones and just put this app on it. This way I have no worry that the app will waste any battery of my main phone.
Now not everything about this app is perfect. There is no way to set multiple alarms during the week. I feel that just being able to set up various alarms for different days of the week. I also do worry about the impact on your battery as your phone is ‘awake’ all night. I am lucky in the way I have a spare phone to be able to do that.. Most of you will not.
The app is free, so if you are looking for a new alarm clock or if you just want to give it a try hit the link the below and give it a shot. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me.

I’m Robert Best, founder of this little site that you are looking at. And I hail from Lisburn. That is in Norn Iron, or Northern Ireland as everyone else calls us. Now on my 9th Android phone I am always looking for interesting and new things to do with Android. When I am not thinking about Android or anything Android related I can be found making music for either for my solo project or for one or two of the bands I am currently playing with. And there generally is not a moment of the day that goes by without you being able to see me with a cup of black tea.
