The app also lets you choose different waking times on different days, although for the sake of consistency in the sleep cycle, the same time is recommended.

This cool new feature allows you to set a “bedtime reminder,” where an alarm will go off to remind you to go to sleep on time.

After that, you can select your alarm tone from a range of pleasant tunes starting from birdsongs to a gentle piano.
