HappyWakeUp S60 Alarm App Uses Your Phone’s Microphone To Decide When To Wake You

HappyWakeUp is a new mobile phone alarm app developed for S60 (the other open platform) that only wakes you when it knows you’re in a light sleep cycle. How does it know? Well, Computerworld says HappyWakeUp actually uses the microphone from your phone to statistically analyse your sleep habits based on noises you make, and when placed under your pillow, it determines what phase of sleep you’re in.

HappyWakeUp runs through your normal alarm clock and won’t delay the alarm any later than you have it set for. Rather, it’s meant to wake you if you’re in a lighter state of sleep 20-30 minutes before your wake up time, and could actually make getting up easier.

    Having a mobile phone within centimetres of your head for 8 hours a day. Um Sure. Hell i try to keep mine as far away as possible when im not using it.

    Does anyone else think this is a really really bad idea?

    Terrible idea. Not only for the possible harm that pulsed frequency wave can have on your body but because you have this “fetish stuff” with you all day and all night.

    Disturbing thought of never let it away.
