It doesn’t matter if you are a heavy sleeper or if you have the best mattress, it is almost impossible to get up in the morning.
There are many apps for Android and iOS that can set alarms to wake you up at the right time, even if you don’t like traditional alarms.
Many have clever (read: cruel!) features that will make sure you wake up every morning. These are like having someone pour cold water over you every morning.
I have included both paid apps and free apps for Android and iOS smartphones.
AMdroid Alarm Clock (Android).
Cost: No ads Upgrade to get rid of ads
AMdroid includes all of the basic functions found in your phone’s alarm clock app. These include the ability to set multiple alarms and use music instead of a tone, as well as the ability to snooze or set a time.
There are also some extra features that can help those who have trouble getting up.
The pre-alarm is one of the best. It is based on your sleeping cycles. Pre-alarms gently wake you up during your light sleep phase. This helps you get up in the morning and be ready for the main alarm to go off.
To dismiss the alarm, you can also set puzzles and QR codes, as well as Captchas and other head-scratching mathematics problems.
Other features include a siesta countingdown, sleep tracking and bedtime reminders.
Loud Alarm Clock LOUDEST Nightstand For REM Sleep (iOS).
The alarm is very loud. It is so loud that even the most sleepy person can’t hear it. Its sound is intended to wake you from deep sleep. There are many options, including danger, big horn and emergency, as well as car alarm.
Multiple alarms can be set and configured to repeat each day or on specific days.
Alarm Clock Xtreme & Timer For Android
Names should be clear. This is an excellent alarm clock app for heavy sleepers, with millions of downloads.
You can set multiple alarms, and you can customize them in many different ways. You can choose whether to have a loud ringtone or your favorite song. If this is not enough motivation, you can set the alarm to send you a math problem to solve.
You can also set your alarm to gently wake you by increasing the volume gradually.
The app allows you to set the maximum number of snoozes you want. The snooze time decreases each time.
Additional features include a sleep tracker and an extra-large snooze key.
Wake Alarm Clock (iOS).
The app’s minimalist interface is simple to use.
You can choose one of the many alarm styles available in the app, or you can set it to play an iTunes song.
You can set the alarm so that it turns off when the phone is turned on and then turns on when the phone is turned off.
If you have trouble getting your sleep out, the shake-to wake option is for you.
To turn off your alarm, shake the phone. You can choose from five different shake intensities depending on your sleep quality.
Alarm Clock For Android
Cost: With optional upgrades
This theme focuses heavily on customization. You can choose from a variety of themes and add clock widgets to the home screen.
The app offers several features to wake you up. The app has the standard alarm for sleepers.
You can even choose your own music to play as an alarm.
You can also choose a gentle-wake option, where the alarm goes off at a low level and gradually increases until you feel fully awake.
You can choose to wake up like a log or to solve a math problem.
Other features include nightstand mode, brightness control and background support (no need for the app to be open all night), bedtime reminders and a sleep timer that turns off music or sounds while you sleep.
