Sleep Science Alarm Clock Reviews

I got SleepScienceAlarmClock 2 weeks ago, looking to improve my sleep time (I was getting about 5 hours a night, if I was lucky). I didn’t have really high hopes; after all, how could my phone help me sleep?
Well, first off it had me set a goal for my sleep time. Well, I’d try for seven, I thought, of course not expecting to get anywhere near seven. I admit, the first night I mainly laid awake staring at it. Because you see, you must keep SleepScienceAlarmClock open while you sleep (keep the phone plugged in or you’ll run down the battery). No checking the news, no googling random ideas that hit you at 12:45, no Candy Crush. I got my first clue that night as to why I wasn’t sleeping so well!
The next morning I was awakened by... wind chimes? And a graph was waiting for my perusal, showing me exactly how long I’d laid awake!
As nights passed I noticed what helped and what didn’t: beer after six (No), beer at dinner (no effect) valerian root before bed (yes, but prepare for really intense dreams), games on my phone (no), outdoor physical activity (oh yes).
This past week I have twice made my goal of 7 hours. The other days I got 6 1/2, 6 and 44 minutes, and so on. I definitely recommend SleepScienceAlarmClock!

I have been using this for over a year and it was working great. However lately it has been shutting itself off or not recording my sleep. I suspect it has something to do with a recent iPhone os update and/ or other apps messages are interfering with it. This didn’t happen before unless I answered a call. I have added no new apps to my phone.
I regularly get Skype and text messages while I sleep, never made a difference before.
I hope it goes back to working again.

I love the alarm feature. I like that you can see how long you’re setting your alarm for, but I don’t think that the “sleep” times are very accurate. I have a partner who goes to be later than I do, and I wake up earlier than him. So I think him getting into be skews my data. Also, I don’t like that it has to use the microphone at all times. I feel like there are some privacy issues there.

The alarm didn’t sound off on the second day I had SleepScienceAlarmClock because an ad popped up when I I turned the alarm on before I went to bed that I didn’t see. A warning would have been nice to have. Of course the first I used SleepScienceAlarmClock ads didn’t pop up so I woke up in time and had a peaceful awakening looking forward to it on my second day but it failed me.

I use SleepScienceAlarmClock every night and here's why:
-it uses the sensors in the phone to track sleep progress, no smart watch needed.
-it wakes you up when you're naturally ready to wake up. I wake up feeling way more alert and rested. No more groggy mornings!
-finally, the alarm sounds are quality and gentle.

I have been using SleepScienceAlarmClock for over a week now, everyday I woke up feeling better. Physically and even mentally, which has given me better days of happiness, work performance ETC. Try it, it might be part of the change that you didn’t even know about.

Just start using SleepScienceAlarmClock I like the features in the bar comparisons we can see what you got for the week the month etc. going to mess around with it more see what options it has recommended

Only now I realize that SleepScienceAlarmClock records our morning conversations!!
Does Sleep Science share information with others? or do these recordings stay in our phones?

This is one of my most important apps! I feel well rested in the morning. I set my desired sleep time to 7.5 to go along with 90 minute REM cycles. I love the vibrate alarm feature because I sleep with earplugs in, and I don’t wanna wake my roommate.

My only complaint is that sometimes when i snore it counts me as awake.

I like a lot of things about this alarm, except that you can snooze this thing forever. Which for me means I’ll stay in bed way longer than I want to.

This is not good if you were somebody who can hit snooze and snooze and snooze go back to sleep. I would have the alarm set for 4:30 and hit snooze I’ll wait till six when I realized oh crap I’m supposed to leave only 10 minutes.

It's does a great job tracking how you sleep, but it's alarm is too soft for me

SleepScienceAlarmClock mimics my recollection of my sleep patterns. I feel like it is pretty accurate.

This is a cool app because not only does it have cool natural sounds to wake you up to but it also has an option for it to turn off your screen, you know like your screen will lock and it will still work the same. But don't listen to me go try out some sleep science yourself.😀

This is such a good app, definitely recommend

It actual tracks your sleep time!

But cannot get it to record any data from my sleep.

Asks you to download an app you already have every time you open it

I loved SleepScienceAlarmClock until it woke me up at 2 am with scary voices saying I was on a live stream!!! Really!!!!!! I loved SleepScienceAlarmClock so so so much until now. But really, what is wrong??

It would be better if you could see your sleep average compared to desired sleep.
***Update***
I did as the developer stated. All that happened was the graph changed from the current day to the current year, which I already knew how to do. So I will try to be more clear. When I click on the graph for the month or year; it would be nice to get an average of month/year sleep compared to desired sleep. If I get eight hours a day the first two weeks and six hours a day for the next two weeks; then I averaged seven hours a day for the month... I could add each day up and divide by the total number of days to get the average. This is just a suggestion that I feel would make SleepScienceAlarmClock great but hey it’s free so...
