The Lark Wristband is an alarm, sleep monitor and sleep coach all in one

I personally love any app or gadget which tells me what to do and when to do it. I guess I like being mothered by everything except my actual mother. The Lark Wristband is a must-have for all the people out there who have ever had sleep problems. The Lark is a silent alarm clock, sleep monitor, and personal sleep coach, all rolled into one. All you have to do is download an iPhone app (Lark Up), and the band’s hardware will automatically connect with your phone and update your sleeping habits onto your phone every morning. The Lark employs a “micromotion sleep pattern sensor” and uses a data-tracking method called actigraphy to measure one’s sleep stages at about 85 to 95 percent accuracy. The point is that all this information can help you assess which part of your lifestyle is causing your sleep problems and change it. A 7-day sleep assessment tells you which “sleep type” you are, and outlines a whole plan tailored to your specific needs. It has some superb features like a silent vibration against the wrist to gently wake you up. It has an in-built audio, which goes off automatically even if you take off your wristband, or switch off your phone.

The Lark Wristband is a no-brainer for all those people looking to make important lifestyle changes. You can buy the Lark for $99. But for a richer set of coaching tools and unlimited sleep assessments, it is worth it to shell out the $159 for Lark Pro.
