Waking up in the morning from that cozy blanket is probably one of the most herculean tasks in the world. We have alarm clocks to help us get though each morning, but I was never a morning person the clock near my bed side always had a hard time executing its job. My dad always used to say that it’s just the first 30 seconds you need to fight off and you will have your beautiful morning all by your self.

Alarmy has already been bestowed with the title of World’s most annoying alarm clock and I must say it really goes with the image of the app. The idea behind the app is that you take a picture of an object like the wash basin, your balcony or anything that’s away from your reach while you are in the bed. The picture is then registered in the app and you can set and alarm on the app once that’s configured. Now when the alarm rings in the morning, you must wake up, walk up to the object that you took the picture of and then take a similar picture again to turn off the alarm. Pretty straightforward.

Morning Routine alarm clock is similar to Alarmy in the way that it will also force you out of the bed to snap a picture. But rather than photos of a wash basin or kitchen sink that can be different from morning to morning, it asks you to scan the bar code of your morning serials you eat  or the toothpaste you use. You can also configure a daily routine like first taking the bar code of the toothpaste and then the milk carton after 20 mins. Anything that saves you from getting late to the office.

Everyone needs a little push to wake up in the morning. It’s just the initial 30 seconds we need to win over and fight the lord of the sleep to get awake. So to makes sure you win in those 30 seconds how about wakening up to different puzzles every day? Puzzle alarm clock, as the name speaks will give you random puzzles every morning and make sure you are awake enough before turning itself off. You can choose maths, memory puzzle or some pattern based puzzles with three difficulty levels. At max, you can set a series of 5 puzzles but that will be a little too much for your brain. 2 to 3 puzzles in medium level will do the trick.

Shake-it Alarm is probably one of the simplest alarm clock app on the list and all you need to do is shake your phone continuously to turn of the alarm every morning. It’s just not one or two shakes we are talking about, It’s like shaking the phone for 7 to 10 seconds unless the bar in the apps fill up and the alarm is turned off. The app can be great for people who don’t like solving maths question in the morning.

No puzzles, photos or weird mathematics puzzle here. The app is rather smart and keeps track of your sleep activity throughout the night and wakes you gently in the optimal moment for pleasant mornings. After you set the alarm on Sleep as Android, you need to activate the sleep mode and keep the phone on your mattress. The app will keep a track on your sleep behavior using accelerometer and trace a graph when you are in a deep sleep and light sleep. Now, depending upon the time when you are in the light sleep, the alarm can sound in a time duration of 30 mins and you will be greeted through soothing nature sound to wake up.
