Here we review the top five apps that will help you sleep better and be more productive in starting your day.

1. SleepCycle

The first thing you need to do to ensure an easy morning is to make sure you get a good night’s sleep. Luckily, a lot of apps have come a long way in their technology for tracking sleep patterns. SleepCycle is one of our favorites since it can very accurately track your sleep patterns and wake you up when your sleep cycle is the lightest.

3. iCukoo

This could’ve been considered a bad thing in the past, however now there is an alarm that will help you contribute to charity when you decide to hit the snooze. iCukoo will donate money to a charity of your choice every time you hit the snooze button.

Simply set the alarm, select the charity you want to donate money to, and decide in advance how much each snooze is worth. If you snooze the alarm in the morning, the app will take note of this. Once your snoozes have added up to a certain amount, it will prompt you with a text asking if you want to donate that amount of keep letting the snoozes accrue more money.
