What is the nature of your sleep? light? And you wake up very easily from the first call? I think this is a rare thing. Heavy sleep? And you tire of waking you up every morning? This is a lot. And I don't hide you a secret, I am of this type. I tried to treat myself, but I could not. When I asked for a treatment, they told me that a technological intervention is necessary to solve this problem. The people around us have energy. They will not stand this routine for long, and I have to rely on myself. I used a lot of alert apps and it didn't help. And that's for reasons that either woke me up in a stupid way. And I feel more tired and lethargic. Or it doesn't wake me up in the first place.

Given the mechanism of the work of these applications that we have with us, many of them have a clever trick in the way of waking up, do not depend on snoozing. It turns out that using a "snooze" to get some extra minutes of sleep may pose some health risks to humans. There is some harm in using an alarm every day, based on what was presented by Professor Matthew Walker, a neuroscientist at the University of California's Center for Human Sleep Sciences. "Walker" explained, "Pressing the snooze button in your alarm may be a bad solution with regard to sleep problems, in addition to its negative impact on the heart and blood vessels within a short period of time."

And nap can be useful only in reducing deep sleep, or physical inactivity, but this depends on your correct sleep strategy, meaning naps are useful at certain times and it is necessary to prepare for this nap. It is recommended to take naps for a few minutes. In this way, it can move from one stage of sleep to another until it becomes in a semi-awake state, similar to what is called REM or rapid eye movement sleep. But if the person is really in a state of rapid eye movement sleep, using a nap may make him sleep more and make it worse.

Our apps do not have a snooze button, and you will be woken up in a smart and comfortable way that takes into account the best of your body. It will also give you statistics about how you sleep. A friend gave me this list of alarm clock apps hoping that we can find what we want in it. You can choose the alarm that suits you.

No nap after today

Normally, when the alarm goes off and then you immediately turn off the alarm, you wake up as a responsible person to look after your interests. Often, she touches the naps and falls asleep again. This isn't necessarily a problem, until you hit the snooze button again and again until you're surprised that it's already time and you get up quickly. Even worse, you can hit the pause button, fall into a deep sleep and waste your work.

Instead of giving you easy options like just one click of a button to silence the alarm. The following apps force you to overcome obstacles to silence the noise. Once you solve the puzzle, play a game, or take a "I don't know how you look" selfie, the sleep fog will subside and you will resist the magic of your comfortable bed. The apps are free but have purchases.
