Hello, dear habrayuzery.
Have you ever (wake up in the morning) to wake up, as they say, "from the wrong foot"? The light is too bright, the sounds are too loud, the person you love is too intrusive, everything flies out of your hands, random objects are touched. Who didn’t happen to!
Have you noticed that this happens only when you are awakened? Whether it’s your alarm clock, a phone call or someone close to you, it doesn’t matter, the thing is ...
a person’s sleep consists of 4 phases:
The first phase is the stage of falling asleep or, as it is otherwise called, nap. This is a transition from wakefulness to sleep, which usually lasts 10-15 minutes.
The second phase is the shallow slow sleep phase. This phase is the longest, occupies almost half of the total duration of sleep.
The third phase is the phase of the maximum deep slow sleep.
These are the phases of slow sleep .
And finally, the fourth phase is the REM sleep phase . Or the phase of rapid eye movement (BDG). It is in this phase that we see the most vivid and memorable dreams.
At the beginning of sleep, the duration of slow sleep predominates, and before waking up, the duration of fast sleep increases.
All this is a long proven scientific fact.
On average, a full cycle of 4 phases of sleep lasts 1.5 hours, replacing each other, thus, a night sleep consists of 4-7 cycles, but if we wake up ourselves, on weekends, for example, then, as a rule, at the end of all phases (which the bill depends on when you went to bed;))
So it’s not at all about this or that leg, but that the alarm clock interrupts the unfinished phase, which results in excessive irritability.
Of course, you can calculate the time of falling asleep and waking up so that sleep is a multiple of 1.5 hours, but there are a large number of factors that complicate this. For example, you probably cannot know how long you will fall asleep. You can overeat a watermelon in the evening, which will provoke frequent visits to the toilet. Also, a person’s condition, how tired he is, whether he drank alcohol, how many hours before bedtime he ate, are important factors that affect the duration of the cycle, and in particular the phases. And so on and so forth ...
Believe me , it is not so simple as it seems and as they write about it, the author somehow tried to do this - almost unsuccessfully.
It is many times more convenient and efficient (!) To use your iPhone as an assistant that will determine the best time to wake up, based on your movements! Program EasyWakeup designed to do just that! All that is needed is to set the interval in which you want to wake up and put on the same surface with you and it will wake you up at the most favorable time for your body. It is more like you woke up yourself - an incomparable feeling when you need to get up at 6 in the morning;)
Strictly speaking, there are already alarms that track your movements in your sleep to find a favorable time for waking up. For example aXbo (200 € ~ $ 270 ) or Sleeptracker ( $ 149 ).
EasyWakeup is the first smart alarm clock for the iPhone and its price is much lower than similar devices.
For current information on products, prices, differences between them and where to download, see the EasyWakeup product page on our website.
I would like to note that EasyWakeup has an advantage over alarms with a similar algorithm, since the program is constantly being improved and new features appear from version to version, existing ones are improved, and the appearance is improved.
The program has already been translated into 12 languages (Russian is present =))
EasyWakeupcollects statistics of your sleep, it is possible to view the graphs of your nightly movements that you made during the night, also if you wish, you can send statistics by e-mail - for a more detailed study.
The review is based on one of our Tiii users.
This is our first post on Habr. We will be grateful for the quality feedback .

upd2: now you can simply use the program by placing the phone next to you on the mattress.

A bit of theory:
a person’s sleep consists of 4 phases:
The first phase is the stage of falling asleep or, as it is otherwise called, nap. This is a transition from wakefulness to sleep, which usually lasts 10-15 minutes.
The second phase is the shallow slow sleep phase. This phase is the longest, occupies almost half of the total duration of sleep.

So it’s not at all about this or that leg, but that the alarm clock interrupts the unfinished phase, which results in excessive irritability.
So what to do?
