I did a search on this forum with regard to the Sleep Cycle App by Northcube (disclaimer - I have no affiliation with the developer) and found only one brief thread from back in 2010. It just so happens I'd stumbled upon the Sleep Cycle App after reading a link from a FryingMan dream journal entry about his use of a sleep mask. Anyway, I set up the program and used it last night in the manner set forth in the instructions. Well, I'm pretty impressed. It seems to do everything it advertises, and the graph of my sleep pattern (as judged by the movements detected by the accelerometers in my IPhone) was very interesting to see. I KNOW the app graph is accurate because a wicked thunderstorm woke me up at a couple of minutes past 2:00am, at which time I wrote in my dream journal, and sure enough, the graph recorded that period and labeled it as "awake", plus other awakenings I did NOT recall. Although it got only mediocre reviews in 2010, the ratings of this app have skyrocketed in the intervening four years, I suppose due to continued development and the addition of features.

So...it occurred to me it might be a good idea to have an updated thread on what dream/sleep related apps people on this forum are using, and what your thoughts are on them are. After all, four years with regard to app development is practically an eternity! So...what apps if any are people using? Are they useful? Are they hokum? Lets hear it!
