There is an app called sleepy time. It calculates your sleep rhythms, so you can tell it when you want to sleep and it will tell you what times to wake up at Ideally, or tell it when you want to wake up and it will give you the different times to fall asleep so you wake up at the end of a sleep cycle.
why would i need some technology to do what I'm already naturally doing? I dont even use an alarm clock. I get up either right before the sun comes up, or pretty close to right after it comes up, and ive got my windows blacked out. And Im not tired when i wake up. Nor do i really choose when to go to sleep, whether i lay down to sleep at 9, or 12, just varied amounts of time spent laying down doing nothing until my body decides to go to sleep.
My advice would be to NOT use any app or anything to try and manipulate your sleep schedule, let what happens happen and learn to work with it. Unless your a lazy fucker thats always late because you sleep in all the time, then maybe use an alarm clock.
I feel MUCH better these days after letting nature take over and not trying to artificially manipulate it like i used to.
You don't need an app, but the study of sleep is pretty interesting. There are people who take it to the extreme and will sleep for exactly one sleep cycle in the night, and then 12 hours later, they sleep for one more sleep cycle. They aren't tired at all, have a ton of energy BUT it requires great dedication to a schedule and being able to not be bugged in the middle of the day to get a nap in. They get to do a lot more with their lives as they sleep very little, but the dedication is extreme and if they miss on of those cycles, their day is fucked.
I only thought the subject might be of interest to you since you said you sleep less as you have gotten older, and maybe you would want to sleep even less without any bad side effects.
my bad, sounded like you were trying to help me "fix" my sleep or something.
I think im naturally approaching something like that. As i let my sleep adjust and do what it needs, ive come to the point where im basically doing the old style of two sleeps with a period of wakefulness in the middle. If i can further detach from modern society, my middle wakeful period might extend to the point where i end up doing something like 12 hour days with very short sleeps between.
