“Just five more minutes.”

That voice in your groggy brain murmurs this soothing phrase, convincing you that a few more minutes under a warm swath of blankets is totally worth it.

Before you know it, you have 10 minutes to brush your teeth, put on pants, grab a power bar and rush out to door to make your morning class.

Phone app developers know this struggle is universal and have designed some creative methods to make sure certain the not-so-early birds don’t sleep through every alarm.

1.) Sleep as Android – Made specifically for Android phones, this app ensures that you wake up at the most optimum time in the morning. The app also graphs your sleep habits, and takes note if any sleep deficit is detected. Unlike most sleep apps, Phone as Android can also record snoring or sleep talk if either are areas of concern for the consumer. Users can also set lullabies to lull them to sleep or create personal playlists, nature sounds or puzzles to wake the heaviest sleepers.

This app starts with a two-week free trial, then requires $3 for an unlock code.

2.) Sleep Cycle for iOS – Considered an Apple equivalent to Sleep as Android, this app operates in the same way — to wake the user at the most convenient time with natural sounds and alarms. The app analyzes a sleeper during their lightest sleep phase, narrowing the alarm to go off within a 30-minute interval. Users can also track their sleep habits from easy-to-read graphs which account for other factors like caffeine intake, exercise and diet.

This app is available on the App Store for iOS only and costs 99 cents.

3.) Suno – This more “intelligent” app takes advantage of the feature of iPhones and their iOS software. Just before the alarm activates, the app utilizes the screen and flashlight to mimic the rising sun, resulting in a more gradual, pleasant wake up. This will go on for a few minutes until the alarm actually goes off or signals its user to wake up.

This app is available on the App Store for iOS and costs 99 cents.

4.) Wave Alarm – This “sporty” option for phone alarms requires the user to wave their hands over the screen or front facing camera to turn off their alarms. The app also can change the alarms colors and sounds, so monotony is never a problem for its groggy users. As a bonus feature, Wave Alarm also tracks weather and outside temperature to tell the user the predicted conditions outside for the next two hours.

This app is available for Android and is free for download with a premium version that costs $2.99.

5.) Alarmy (aka Sleep If U Can) – This app is reserved for the chronic alarm snoozers or those bordering on hibernation. To use the app, a user must take pictures of random items around the house and register them in its memory. Once an alarm goes off, the user can only deactivate that alarm by taking pictures as they appear on the screen.

So, buyers beware: your annoying alarm will only stop once you get out of bed and take a few pictures that your phone decides are acceptable.

This app is available for iOS and Android and is free for download with an optional premium version.
