No gimmicks - everyone can get a better night of sleep and using this alarm clock WILL improve your sleep. Other alarm clocks on the app store claim that by waking you up in a lighter stage of sleep it improves your grogginess, but scientific evidence has not proven this an effective way to improve sleep. What is far more important is falling to bed at the right time and getting the right amount of sleep. This smart alarm clock tracks your sleep and recommends the best time for you to go to sleep and wake up. The more you use the application, the more accurate it gets. The app also provides personalized feedback on behaviors related to sleep, such as, productivity, exercise, diet, mood, relaxation, medication, alcohol use, nicotine use, and caffeine use.

The App includes:

** Patent pending algorithm that gives you feedback every night on the best time for you to go to bed and wake-up.
** Gradual Wake feature (starts relaxing music or sounds 10 minutes before your alarm is set, preparing your body to wake-up).
** The Proactive Equation that determines what is affecting your sleep.
** Sleep diary modeled on ones used in sleep labs.
** Set your alarm and fall asleep to any song in your iTunes.
** Fall asleep to the calm sounds included in the app.
** Play the calming sounds (including white noise) throughout the entire night of sleep.
** Track behaviors related to your sleep and well being
** Graphing feature to see how behaviors relate to one another.
** Information on sleep problems and ways to improve your sleep.
** Manage and export your personal data to an excel file.
** Post your sleep data to Facebook
** Snooze feature.
** Nightstand clock.



For a deeper sleep, Proactive Sleep also includes options to purchase relaxation interventions designed to relax the mind and body, including:

** Muscle Relaxation, using a proven relaxation technique
** An innovative system designed to give you a deeper night's sleep, developed by a professional music engineer who has worked with Sheryl Crow and Jimmy Buffet and is an expert in developing relaxing soundtracks.
