When it wakes me up early (you can set how much early it can wake you), I find it annoying, but when I used a regular alarm recently when my Watch was getting fixed, I was definitely groggier getting out of bed, so I think it’s going to stay. From the same makers as AutoSleep, this is an alarm that’s supposed to help nudge you to wake in a lighter sleep cycle to make it easier to wake up.

My understanding is that the margin of error on tracking deep sleep relative to what an EKG would show is pretty high, but I do know the data seems to correlate with how I feel and like tracking food, when I see a log of low sleep nights it helps me know how to adjust because how I recall it is poor. It tracks sleep, deep sleep, heart rate variability and waking pulse, which is good for assessing whether or not I am accumulating fatigue night after night and whether I’m in need of a rest day. And enough may also be characterized as more. This is what I’m using to track my sleep now that I’m working to get a firm handle on getting enough sleep at night. Personally I like the “red noise” sound selection. I know I should get a white noise machine and get my phone out of my bedroom, but I haven’t forked out for one yet because this is working well enough. I started using this in hotels when I would travel for business, but then I realized it was just as helpful to have on at home, especially when I go to bed an hour or two before my husband. I know it’s how they monetize their websites, but it still drives me nuts. I also love that their clean formatting cuts out all of the crazy annoying ads that pop up on food blogs where I get a lot of my recipes. I keep all of the recipes I use regularly and find online that look appealing in it, so then when I want to meal prep for the week, I can drag and drop recipes into a calendar and use the auto grocery list for shopping. It’s an annual subscription, but I buy it on Black Friday when it’s 50% off for the year. This is my recipe log and meal prep planning tool. All things being equal, I would love to try out Chronometer, which is getting great reviews for the way they validate and verify their entries, but they don’t offer the client support features we need. I use the premium version to be able to fine tune my macros. The database is broad, but it isn’t perfect, so you have to be careful about using quality entries when logging food.
Honestly, my favorite thing about it is that as a coach I can see my client’s food journals in detail and it integrates well with our client support software. I’ve been using this app for a little over two years to track my food. Some are long-time stand-by favorites and others are new additions. I also use a Garmin Forerunner for swimming, biking and running and this foundation factored into the different apps I’m now using. Please note I wear an Apple Watch 3 and use an iPhone daily.
It was no small feat to get everything working together and fortunately, my parter-in-crime, Kathy, helped with a ton of the research, so I thought I’d share what I’m now using week in and week out to help with this endeavor. I’ve found a few new apps to really help with this effort. Lately I’ve been trying to really dial in on optimizing my recovery and working to sync my training loads and expectations to my monthly hormonal cycles. It’s an element that has it’s pros and cons, but it’s part of who I am. It’s no secret that I’m a technophile and data junkie.
