Smart Alarm Clock - FixSleep

With ADHD and insomnia, I struggle to fall asleep—and once I finally do, waking up can feel nearly impossible. Regular alarms don’t work for me: I’ll snooze them repeatedly or hide them without fully waking up. FixSleep changes that. Its alarm challenges and customizable tasks force me to engage, get out of bed, and start my day instead of drifting back to sleep. I may be frustrated with the app in the moment, but that’s proof it’s doing its job. If you’re a heavy sleeper or struggle to wake up, FixSleep is absolutely worth trying—it’s the first alarm that reliably gets me out of bed.

I love the idea of this app, especially as I’m hoping to leave my current, bloated alarm app behind. But it’s too easy for my half asleep brain to outsmart or cancel the current challenges. I need a more hardcore setting/mode to prevent me from powering off, ignoring the challenge, etc. Because of this, I unfortunately can’t switch over yet, but if that changes, I’ll totally pick this app over the other. I love the inclusion of sounds for sleep, since I’m a big user of white noise, and I also like the sleep cycle alarm feature.

A very handy app to get a sense of your body’s sleep cycles and avoid setting an alarm that will wake you from a deep sleep, which can be very disorienting. The interface is clean and simple to navigate, and there are lots of useful options to aid both falling asleep and waking up.
