Cell phone alarm clock listens to you sleep

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. -- A new cell phone alarm clock application uses "statistical analysis" to figure out the best time to wake you up. After installing it, you place your phone under your pillow and the software uses your phone's microphone to listen to your sleep patterns.
The software could be ideal for digital nomads, as it eliminates the need for a separate alarm clock, and may help with jet lag.
You set the time you'd like to wake up by, and the software, called HappyWakeUp, sounds an alarm during the phase of your sleep just before wake-up time when you're experiencing a milder or shallower form of sleep. It's designed to avoid waking you when you're in deep sleep, which causes stress, according to the software's designers.
Unfortunately, the software is available only for Nokia phones based on the S60 3rd edition FP1 platform.
The software is based on extensive sleep research at Tampere University of Technology and the University of Helsinki.
