A lot of apps that have something to do with sleep have certainly come out thus far and now we find yet another one for the people who want to measure their sleep quality. This is the Sleep Time app from Azumio, something that can be used with an iPhone.

The app measures a person’s movement during sleep as well as the different phases of one’s sleep cycle. Apparently, the app was created to wake a person at the right moment, something that seems to be pretty much critical when it comes to sleep-related issues.

The proper timing of waking up a person is apparently critical, especially if you think about how good or groggy they become when they get up. Sleep Time analyzes your subtle movements throughout the course of the night, graphing your sleep cycles, and wakes you up at the right time. All you have to do is leave the app on your mattress.

We have seen a lot of gadgets used here and there to help monitor babies but if you have an Apple device like perhaps an iPhone or an iPad, here is something that should come in handy. This comes in the form of the Withings Smart Baby Monitor.

The monitor includes a camera and sensors that detect sound, movement, temperature and humidity levels. The monitor’s hinged design allows its wide-angle 3-megapixel camera to be tilted or swiveled into place when being set up. That camera automatically switches on its infrared LEDs when the light gets dim, enabling its night vision function, plus it has a 4X zoom that lets users get a closer look at their infant.

The baby monitor should be helpful for parents who want to gain a piece of mind as far as their tots are concerned. It is available from their website for about $299.

Here is another potential device that should aid you in your sleep problems. With the aid of an iPhone, all you need is the Lark Wristband and then you can hook it up to serve as an alarm clock, a sleep coach and a sleep monitor.

All these things were made possible through a micromotion sleep pattern sensor and makes use of a data tracking method called actigraphy to help measure people’s sleep patterns to reportedly about 85 to 95 percent accuracy.

All one has to do is download the Lark Up app from the iTunes store and the band’s hardware will automatically connect with your phone and update your sleeping habits onto your phone every morning

Lately we have been seeing a lot of devices that aim to wake you up but in a better way. And for the GEAR4 Renew Sleepclock, it goes way beyond simply going off and pulling you out of bed. The device also comes with a feature which measures your sleep and get you out of bed in a timely manner.

Of course you will need an Apple device like an iPod, iPhone or an iPad too. The device stands to educate one on sleep efficiency, helping you understand and adjust your sleep habits so that you are then able to chart out your sleep data over time in order to sleep better.

The GEAR4 Renew Sleepclock is set to come out this March and will run for about $199.95 a pop.

This is the Renew iPhone Sleep Clock, a device that can monitor your breathing and movements while you are in lala land. It collects the necessary data for your sleep cycle which should come in handy to help diagnose and remedy what exactly is wrong as far as your sleep issues are concerned.

It’s even possible to have the SleepClock wake you up during your lightest phase of sleep, so you feel more well-rested.

If the Renew iPhone Sleep Clock interests you, it is available from Gear4 for $200.

With the OKITE app for the iPhone, hitting the snooze button may prove to be costly on your end. Particularly for the people who are into Twitter, the app is linked to your account and will start creating embarrassing messages each time you hit the snooze button on your phone.

The app is free and is practically in the same alarm format as the iPhone alarm. Messages like “dressed as a sailor for now” or “not enough talented people in the world right now” are just some of the messages that may pop up on your account if you decide to hit that dreaded snooze button rather than get up and go.

The app is free for download over at the iTunes store which is compatible as well for iPads or iPods.

Alarms via iPhones is nothing new but something different seems to be intended if you constantly hit the snooze option for this iPhone app. The alarm app apparently donates a quarter each time you hit the snooze option in the Snooze for iPhone app. And mind you, this is not a forced contribution but rather asks you twice in a month which non-profit organization you would want to donate, that is if you would care.

The app seems to be more of a reminder on how we can do our part to donate to charitable institutions. The app acts more of a reminder that the more we snooze, the more we should be made aware of what we can contribute when we are awake.

Although the app may seem to be something that could help us sleep more as long as we do our part as far as donations are concerned, it may have consequences as sleeping longer and probably going to school or work late despite being bugged by reminders on donating. The app is cool for added sleep but as far as the donation part is concerned, it seems to lack something to really make it effective.

It is a fact that the release of gadgets like the iPhone or any other mobile device we know of today has taken the world by storm. In fact, some have grown too attached to these gadgets that they end up sleeping (that is if they do) with them since they don’t want to lose sight of them. Further, these gadgets are eventually a problem as far as hindering proper sleep since a text or call can easily get a person up from deep slumber.

But is this development safe? Psychologists believe that it may not be harmful (with reference to radiation concerns) to a person physically but mentally as well since people may end up loving their phones rather than a human being. An instance is sleeping with the iPhone which for all intents and purposes shows a sign of being too attached to the said device rather than cuddling up with your partner.

Indeed, many of us have become too attached and obsessed with the technological gifts such as the iPhone. But do you feel that such a development is healthy as far as relationships and sleep is concerned?

While many consumers are continuously complaining about the glaring iPhone 4 alarm glitch, the woes seem to have gone as far as the National Basketball Association. Three members of the defending champion LA Lakers were victims of oversleeping, no thanks to an alarm which failed to sound off to alert the players of their game.

Hard-hit was Spaniard Pau Gasol who claimed that his alarm didn’t go off on time, reportedly a cause for him to miss the team’s morning shootaround. Worse, Gasol had a bad game in their embarrassing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies which can be easily attributed to waking up at the wrong time and panicking to make it to the game.

Luke Walton and another unnamed player also victims of the iPhone 4 glitch. Time to change phones?

By now you may have read of the iPhone glitch which pointed to alarms failing to alert or awaken people on New Year’s Day.

The iPhone 4 has been receiving numerous complaints because of the issue as Twitter and Facebook have been getting hordes of complaints from the said problem. And the worst part of it is that no fix has yet to be issued, meaning you may want to set a standard alarm clock to wake you up on time for work or school or for whatever appointment you need to attend to for the meantime.

Normally, you would think that the iPhone would be among the main reasons why some people are not sleeping that much these days. Gadgets have been known to deprive people of sleep mainly due to their fascination on the various uses of gadgets such as sending text messages or tinkering around with the applications installed in them. But thanks to some engineering students, the iPhone can be an ally in improving sleep.

Developed by electrical and computer engineering senior Justin Beck and psychology and neurobiology senior Daniel Gartenberg, the application serves as a sophisticated alarm clock that wakes users up during the light sleep phase of their cycle, meaning they will be less groggy and more alert during the day. In the morning, users play an easy game that tests alertness, and the software then automatically reconfigures as it learns the user’s unique sleep cycle. Called Proactive Sleep, the software could be on sale in the Apple application store in the next few months.
