Wake up Mode Convinced My Baby to Go to Bed
iOS / Android: If you didn’t sleep well last night, you will get tired today. Yeah, huh? Wake up mode shows your fatigue as your body’s battery level. It’s a cute trick for you and me. For my seven-year-old child, this was a compelling argument for actually falling asleep .
After all, he knows what kind of panic occurs when he watches YouTube and gets a low battery warning. You must connect right away, otherwise! Therefore, when he saw that the energy level of his own body was in the minus, he suddenly really wanted to go to bed.
I helped him set Wake Mode last night before bed. The app asks what time you went to bed last night, how long it took you to actually fall asleep, and what time you woke up. Based on these numbers, you can make a good guess about how much sleep you are getting.
My child and I were about 10 percent. We turned on manual sleep tracking for his phone (wake up mode can also read data from a wearable fitness tracker if you have one) and he ended up in the bag. I went to bed a little later, and then the child woke me up at about 2 am. I still had cloudy eyes in the morning when my child ran into the room and shouted, “Look, Mom! I’m 100 percent! “
Awakening mode encourages you to “recharge” during the day with caffeine or naps; diet coke gave me an extra two percent. At night, the app asks how your day was in order to better calibrate your energy level for the future. It also has a nice dashboard to view your sleep tracking data if you want to keep track of things like that. Apps like Wake Mode don’t really tell you anything that your body doesn’t already know about. After all, you get tired when you are awake. But it can be handy to see your battery level dropping – and it might even be the nudge you need to finally turn off your phone and go to sleep .
