5 Tips From Sleep Cycle’s Malin Eriksson On Getting The Best Night Of Sleep Possible

Sleep Cycle is an intelligent alarm clock app that analyzes users’ sleep, records findings, and wakes them during their lightest sleep phase so they feel rested and refreshed. The app generates nightly sleep reports, tracks long-term sleep trends and logs how daily activities impact sleep quality. Furthermore, the app uses patented sound analysis technology so that users do not need to place their device in bed with them for the app to work. With more than a million users worldwide, Sleep Cycle is the best-selling and most popular alarm clock application on the market.

According to WebMD, health risks associated with snoring include sleep apnea, interruption of breathing, frequent wake-ups, overall poor sleep quality, and heart strain. Globally, about 40 percent of adult men and 24 percent of adult women snore. Fortunately, the latest version of the Sleep Cycle alarm clock app — which is available for Android and iPhone users alike — features the highly-anticipated snore detection and tracking capability. The snore tracker identifies, records, measures, and tracks snoring, enabling users to analyze what effect snoring has on their general sleep quality.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Sleep Cycle’s Malin Eriksson, who kindly provided five tips to The Hype for how you can ensure that you are getting the best sleep possible.

1. Prepare for your morning the night before to decrease stress while trying to fall asleep

This is especially helpful for stressed out parents or people working out in the morning.

2. Maintain a consistent sleep/wake schedule throughout the week

Avoid over-sleeping on the weekends even if you’re out late the night before. I recently stayed up later than usual to binge watch a new show on Netflix and did not fall asleep until 3:00 AM. I made it a point to set my alarm for my normal wake up time of 7:00 AM so that my body would stay on the same schedule.

3. Try not to drink a lot of water before bed to avoid waking to use the restroom

Staying hydrated before bed is good for you, but try to not drink a lot within 2 hours of your bedtime.

4. Avoid taking late afternoon or close to bedtime naps

Naps can be good for you in some cases, but avoid taking them later in the day.

5. Use an alarm clock app like Sleep Cycle to wake you up during your lightest sleep phase

This will leave you feeling rested and refreshed in the morning rather than tired and groggy. It was easier for me to wake up even after less sleep from staying up to watch Netflix since I used my Sleep Cycle app to wake me up during my lightest sleep phase.
