Sleep cycle is continuously rated as the best intelligent alarm clock, Sleep Cycle is now the worlds most used intelligent alarm clock.

------------------------------------------------------- 

* Sleep Cycle monitors your movement during sleep using the extremely sensitive accelerometer in your iPhone. 

* Sleep Cycle then finds the optimal time to wake you up during a 30 minute window that ends at your set alarm time. 

* Look at the screenshots for recommended iPhone placement. 

------------------------------------------------------- 

As you sleep you go through different phases, ranging from deep sleep to light sleep. The phase you are in when your alarm goes off is critical for how tired you will feel when you wake up. 

Since you move differently in bed during the different phases, Sleep Cycle can use the accelerometer in your iPhone to monitor your movement and determine which sleep phase you are in. 

Sleep Cycle wakes you when you are in your lightest sleep phase. 

Sleep Cycle was developed using proven sleep science and years of research and development.

New smoke alarm batteries may save lives

GOLD Coast fire fighters are urging residents to change the battery in their smoke detectors to avoid being a fool this April Fool's Day.

Acting inspector Neil Dover said in-home smoke detectors need their batteries changed at least once a year.

"Detectors with 12-vault batteries should be changed yearly and April Fools Day is a great day to remember to do it, especially heading into the winter months when more electronics are used in the home," Mr Dover said.

"Detectors and batteries should also be tested regularly using the test button to sound the alarm.

"The smoke detectors themselves have a lifespan of about 10 years before they should also be replaced."

Mr Dover said last year there were 210 residential structural fires on the coast and numerous occasions where whole families had been saved due to smoke detectors.

"They're designed to wake people and notify people as our sense of smell is altered when we're in an unconscious state," he said.

"I can remember an instance where a whole family had evacuated from their burning home at night and been waiting on the footpath for us to arrive.

"Working smoke alarms really do save lives."

Mr Dover said photoelectric smoke alarms were the best option as they sense fire in an earlier stage than previous models.

"These detectors are different in the way they work, using ionisation to detect smoke earlier," he said.

"Detectors can be bought for as little as $15 and take less than 5 minutes to change."
