Ok for me anyway this wakes me up perfectly timed everytime if I set it to wake me up 6 hours later.
Then I can only hope that it works for someone else : )

I don't see how you can tell if someone's in REM by their movements and sounds.

You know what would be cool?
Have your phone somehow propped up to be looking at your face, stream it to some sort of server, on here probably, and then someone teams up with you who will be awake when you're asleep to call your phone when you enter REM lol

Probably would be difficult but would be awesome to give someone a lucid.
