Waking up can be hard. Especially when most of us spend our nights just browsing and surfing on our smartphones. Though there are multiple alarm clocks available in both Android and iTunes market, yet they are not enough for heavy sleepers.
For them, there’s an extra requirement which can either force or motivate them to get out of the bed. Or at least make them put extra effort so that they can shut down the alarm ringtones. So check out these best alarm apps for those people who want to wake up but are not able to.
Best Alarm Clock Apps That Can Wake Up Anyone
1. Sleep Cycle
This alarm clock app is available for both Android and iPhone users. The sleep cycle is an intelligent alarm clock that recognizes your sleep pattern by analyzing all of your movements using sound and vibration while you are sleeping. Through this mechanism, it finds the perfect time at which the user is in light sleep. And on the basis of the sleep pattern, the app suggests the appropriate alarm time at which the user is usually in light sleep.
Selecting and setting up that alarm time is totally dependent on the user’s choice. The only drawback with this app is the battery consumption because the app will be working the whole time you are sleeping. So, make sure to connect the charger before going to sleep.

2. I Can’t Wake Up
One of the most annoying alarm clock app which was specifically designed to get the heavy sleepers out of bed. Hitting snooze or turning off the alarm is one thing, but performing a certain task to shut down the alarm is a whole different scenario. This app offers various tasks such as scanning a barcode of any product that you own, matching various cities to their countries, and the maths calculations. These are more than enough to wake up a deep sleeper.
