Will the sleep tracking be accurate? Q: Will sleep tracking work with two people in the bed? A: If you have separate mattresses there is minimum interference from your partner. If you have one big shared mattress which isn't recommended as you partner may need different mattress for his healthy sleep , it could still work assuming you keep your phone close to your body and ideally on your side of the bed.

A: Many users asked for the ability to wake up with light. This is possible with the phones flashlight and to start the flash light you need the camera permission. Unfortunately permissions are very rigid and you cannot turn them off selectively and in many cases you need a permission only if you use a very specific sub-feature. It has a 14 day trial, but it's packed with useful info, and looks sleek.
Alternatively, Sleepbot is free, and works pretty well too. For iPhone users, Sleep Cycle is your best option. It's free, works well you can use your microphone to track your sleep too , and has a premium service to track more. But for waking up perfectly, it works well. This is exactly my problem as well. I have zero desire to do my daily tasks, because I've done them over 10, times already. And since there's nothing interesting, challenging, or novel about pre- and post-bedtime tasks, that means you wind up waiting until they're urgent, which is bad because that causes us to stay up too late or start our day too late.
I've been working on this problem for a long time, and I've finally got a routine that seems to work most of the time. Here's what I do:. Also, you need to reduce distractions so you're more likely to follow this new routine. I use Block Apps to lock me out of all but my most essential apps on both my phone and my tablet when I'm supposed to be doing my morning or nightly routine, and all night.

I should turn this into a blog post or something. Hopefully people actually bother to read this. I used to spend a lot of time on the Internet browsing random things. What worked for me is keeping a journal of all my long an short term goals and breaking them down to each day. And then reviewing my progress weekly. You can find YouTube videos about bullet journaling. Most of it will be fancy notebooks and stuff but you don't need all that. Just take in the basic idea that you need a place to see all that you have completed and all that is pending.
You can even do it on an Excel sheet or Word doc. Keeping track of your progress is super important in being productive. Another thing that helped me a lot is waking up early in the morning. I used to sleep super late, at 1am or 2am.
And then wake up and leave for work by 8am. This reduced my productivity a lot because after I got home I was too tired to do anything else and again wasted time on YouTube, etc. I shifted my waking up time to am. This gives me a solid 2 hours of time in the morning to focus on my long term goals. I spend this time studying or reading things that help me grow doing certifications, learning new skills, etc.
I also have the browser addon and use the Promodoro technique. Twice in an hour. That gives me a solid hour of productivity. You can do this anytime. Once you build the habit it just becomes part of your day. Meditation can have a very positive impact on your well-being. If you don't want to take a nap, go for a walk.

It's the most convenient and most responsive Hue control of any app or widget I've tried. I got it as a cheap alternative to the overpriced fitbit brand smart scale, and while it does "function as advertised," the RENPHO app requires location permissions in order to sync with the scale via Bluetooth, which doesn't even make sense. The app makes so many unnecessary location checks throughout the day that it reduces your batter life by more than half.

You should edit the spelling. Personally, I have profiles for several of Sleep as Android's events :.

Forget your weight. Are you fat? Why does that matter? Americans are fat. Eat better. Try doing some exercises because it feels good to be limber or some cardio because your brain feels GREAT once you do. If your joints are fucked go swimming. Pay for a membership or use your school. Why do you think labeling yourself as a coward is a good thing? Genuinely, why? Even subconsciously, why? You have to choose to be better. The pills or this doctor will never ever fix your problems.
