Not everyone is a morning person. Some people wake up feeling bright and happy, while others feel sluggish and it’s all they can do to drag themselves out of bed and to the coffee pot. If you’re one of the latter, then you may be interested in checking out these new apps that can help you wake up on the sunny side of life.
Get Your ZZZZs
One of the keys to waking up feeling great in the morning is having a restful night’s sleep. Insomnia plagues thousands of people throughout the United States and if you’re a sufferer, you know only too well how it affects your waking hours. But here’s a free app that can turn all that around. Alarm Clock For Me is more than just a wake-up call, it can also help to lull you asleep with a preset timer that will play your favorite tunes, or a selection of white noise, until you slip into a peaceful sleep.

Get a Personal Sleep Coach
When you wear the Zeo headband, it will monitor your brain waves and transmit them wirelessly to the base unit. This device tracks you sleep throughout the night. Thirty minutes before you have set the device to wake you, it begins to monitor your sleep cycle for the right moment to gently stir you. Because it watches your phases of shallow and deep sleep, it can catch you as you are at a peak, so you feel as though you’ve woken naturally. It also allows you to upload your sleep information to your computer so you can check out how your circadian cycle is improving.
Get Your Own Personal Sunrise
Get out of bed can be extra hard if it’s still dark when your alarm goes off. Now you can have your own personal sunrise with Phillips Wake Up Light. The lamp gradually simulates dawn so that you feel like you’re waking to a natural sunrise, right there in your bedroom, so you don’t have to deal with the abrupt and jarring arousal of an alarm clock.

Wunderlist is the essential to do app. Whether you’re creating a grocery list or planning your appointments for the day, this app will keep your schedule running smoothly. You can set deadlines and reminders for important dates. What’s more, you can even share your lists with others so everyone is on the same page, literally. The app syncs between your phone and your other devices, so you can check your list wherever you are.

I like all of thee apps and gadgets. My favorite is the app which has white noise or my favorite tunes.
I am so going to check this out I am not an early morning person at all. The Alarm Clock For Me sounds like something that I would really like. I hate the sound of an alarm clock so this might be the answer thanks for sharing this one and have a nice weekend.
I would like to try the Alarm Clock for Me. It sounds like an alarm that I would like.
I could definitely use more organization in my day but still like the paper products over apps for now. I have wanted to try that Phillips Wake up Light and it would work well for me since I usually wake before the alarm. I would not want to wear a headband since I like my skin to breath and want nothing covering it (unless it’s only on my hair?) I’m not sure it would stay on with tossing and turning.
