  1. We all have done it, woken up on the wrong side of the bed. That's just a phrase used to show we can be irritable and grumpy when the quality of sleep is poor. Sleep statistics published by Sleepassocation.org indicate 50-70 million U.S. Adults have a sleep disorder. A good night's sleep is described as five 90-minute complete sleep cycles. Each cycle has four sleep stages going between light sleep and deep sleep. The first stage is the lightest sleep phase followed by two deeper sleep stages and the fourth stage is the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage. Most of us have little control over the wake up time with the alarm clock just telling us it is time to start the day! What we can control is our sleep quality to ensure best sleep. Use of sleep trackers are effective tools to track sleep patterns. Sleep tracking apps collect sleep data and

Some apps like smart alarm clocks have a cycle alarm functionality that wakes users up during the lightest part of their sleep after completing the REM stage. There are a plethora of options in the market for sleep tracker apps. App Purchases can be made through the app store. The functionality varies depending on if it is a free app, free version or a premium version. There are customized versions that are wearables or work well for iPhones/Apple Watch, iOS and android. These smart apps can help depict the sleep analysis through sleep graphs that display sleep time, sleep goals vs. sleep duration and optimal time. Using heart rate algorithms, health apps like Fitbit and Apple Health offer premium features that track 30 days of sleep and calculate the resting heart rate. Fitbit's sleep score beta version can track sleep disturbances that could be indicators of asthma and sleep apnea. In addition to using sleep trackers, some simple measures to sleep better is to limit screen time on social media, taking power naps, using white noise or sleep sounds and use of sleep aids. Sleep is important and waking up on the right side of the bed is crucial. Sleep trackers are great tools to track and detect problems like stress. Lowering stress can greatly contribute to overall wellbeing and health. Next time you snooze or snore, let an alarm clock app wake you up!
