this episode of what see apt is brought to you by Hostgator hello there everybody's John Q here from TechnoBuffalo and welcome to what's the apps for this episode I'm going to be taking a look at something called sleep cycle and it's an application that'll help you sleep which is why I'm in my bedroom and I'm wearing my jammie-jams cuz I thought it would be clever and cute yes sleep cycles a pretty interesting application my friend actually told me about it about 1 or 2 years ago so I thought I'd share my thoughts and my experiences with you guys sleep cycle is basically a highly sophisticated and scarily smart alarm clock after you've set a time just like you would any alarm clock the app that measures your movement activity whilst you sleep it uses that information to calculate your various stages of sleep you know light sleep deep sleep and so on to figure out when would be the ideal time to wake you up allowing you to have that happy-go-lucky feeling of well rested miss oh my god that sleep of amazing just to give you an idea of how sensitive it is there's a placement test which makes noise every time there's movement on your bed it even works on the floor which is pretty ballin they have quite a few stock alarm tones and they're much more pleasant than those that come with your advice you can also pick a song from your music library if you want to wake up to some Metallica or whatever works for you but I personally prefer the sweet sounds of warm breeze or to wake up embracing the abstract and subtle sounds of morning mist or sunrise you can also play around with the snooze option wake up phase vibration and various other things there's a stats section where you can check out your calculated sleep cycles a bunch of mine were deleted want to update it to iOS 5 but you know you get the idea you can also share your charts with your friends if you want to you know if you want to show off how much deep sleep you get every night speaking of charts there are a few downsides though this app can't really calculate the ideal time when you're nap as seen here but I can still function as a regular alarm clock you also have to keep the app running all night because quote due to iOS limit Asians sleep psycho cannot be run in the background not a big deal though considering you're asleep it's also recommended that you keep your device plugged in all night personally I don't think this is necessary I had some nights where I didn't plug in my phone and you know the battery didn't go to zero or anything so yeah you'll be fine and speaking of whatever I was just rambling about imma take some time to thank our friends at Hostgator Hostgator can get your blog or website up and running in minutes with plans starting at just around 4 bucks a month you get 24/7 support and access to website building tools with over 4,000 templates okay they'll even migrate your current site over for free their servers are 130 % powered by wind energy and you get unlimited disk space and bandwidth there's also a 45 day money-back guarantee and you also get $100 Google AdWords credit to market your website for rev3 viewers Hostgator is offering 25% off your order or your first month free just go to hostgator.com and enter in the coupon code TechnoBuffalo at the checkout again that's hostgator calm in the coupon code TechnoBuffalo techno as in the music and buffalo as in that animal at the checkout back to sleep cycle time for the big question okay does this work honestly I don't know I mean when I use it I feel well rested in everything and when I don't use it I don't but then I don't know if that's because you know I think that it's working therefore it's working so it's kind of like when I use the app I'm like oh yes I'm gonna have a good day today with you know the hand gesture voice and the complete package and everything plus personally I'm pretty good at waking up when it comes time to waking up I don't you know I don't complain I don't moan I don't kick things I don't yell hateful things into a bar of soap I just wake up oh my god that's loop of amazing but I suppose if you think about it if I feel better when I use it therefore it's working so with that I'm gonna give this app a 5 out of 5 $0.99 is a really small investment for a good night's rest especially if it comes with wickedly awesome super soothing alarm tones that for a brief moment make you feel like you're in a magical jungle or something tried for yourself there's actually another app called smart alarm clock that says I can do the basically the same thing but it's free and again if there are any applications that you'll like me to check out let me know my commenting this was John Q from TechnoBuffalo thank you very much for tuning in and I wish you all a very good night ladies morning mist or sunrise sunrise why what I say like that
