Not having to work set hours has given me the freedom in recent years to play around with my sleep cycles to try and optimize my rest based on REM and other phases, and I must say, I’ve had a reasonable degree of success in reducing morning lethargy and sleep inertia.
I can’t really vouch for the efficacy of this app just yet because I’ve only just started using it, but so far it seems very promising so I can quite confidently say that you’re highly likely to get some kind of positive results.
Sleep Deeply and Wake With a Smile
Smart Alarm Clock HD: sleep cycles and night sounds recording features a very smart little algorithm called STrack 2.0 which has been designed to detect when you’re in a lighter phase of sleep so that you can wake up without feeling like, well, insert expletive here!

This is achieved by monitoring your sleep cycle over a period of time so that you can spot trends and develop a better understanding of the most opportune times to wake up. Once you’ve done this, you can specify a timeframe within which you’d like to be woken, and set up to three corresponding alarms.

Record Sounds You Make While Sleeping
Another interesting feature is the Sleep Recorder, which will automatically begin recording any sounds through the night that register five seconds or longer in duration. This is an amusing, albeit slightly disturbing way of listening to your middle-of-the-night rambles!
