Anyone here use a sleep app?

I just downloaded iOS 8 and thought the health app was kind of cool. In order to track your sleep you need to download a sleep app and sync them, but there's a bajillion free ones out there so I don't know which one to pick. Anyone have one to recommend?

Re: Anyone here use a sleep app?

  • I have a coworker who mentioned one that tracks sleep and even sleep cycle stages. I'll have to ask her once she's done with her client.

  • Loading the player...
  • I downloaded on once for fun in bed but fell asleep before it finished downloading and forgot about it until now.
  • I have used an app called Sleep Cycle and I I think it was $2. You place it on your side of the bed and it tracks how much you move at night. It will show you stats after several nights, too.

  • I used Jawbone UP's app, but you wear the device all day and night and plug it into your phone to check your stats. It has a day and night setting, so when you can move around, it also tracks your movement. The sleep mode provides you with when you were in a deep sleep, how many times you woke up & for how long and when you were in a light sleep. I feel that this way is more accurate than just having a phone near you or on you, but what do I know?

     

  • Ok my coworker uses one called "Sleep Time" and it's free. She showed it to me and it looks really cool. Charts all of your sleep cycles and gives you trends. Also has an alarm that you can set to wake you up at a certain time, or within a window of that time when you're in the most favorable part of your cycle to wake. I'm going to download it myself and try it out - although I'm afraid it might depress me to see how little sleep I'm getting...
