GoBe2: Does it have an alarm?

GoBe2, alarm feature

Written by Maria

Yes, absolutely! GoBe2 supports the smart alarm feature.

What is a smart alarm and why is it smart? The Smart Alarm function of GoBe2 will prompt you to wake during the REM phase of sleep, known as the easiest time to wake from. During REM (random eye movement) sleep, the brain’s manner of functioning is closest to being awake (REM sleep is also the phase of sleep associated with dreaming). Using the accelerometer and piezo sensor, GoBe2 recognizes when you are in REM sleep based on your body movements and heart rate, and then sends you an alarm during your last REM cycle before your scheduled wake time, reducing grogginess and fatigue throughout the day.

To set up a smart alarm:

Tap the smart band icon in the top-left corner of the main screen and select “Smart Alarms”,

or

tap the “Sleep” icon on the main screen of the app and select “Smart Alarms.”

On the Smart Alarm Settings screen you need to set the time and select the time period during which the alarm will go off.

The Smart Alarm feature will detect if there is a REM phase during the indicated time period and will go off at the end of the REM phase. This makes waking up considerably less stressful for your body. If no REM phase has been detected, the alarm will go off at the exact time you have set.

You can also set the REM sleep phase interval to zero by moving the slider all the way to the left. In this case, the alarm will go off at the exact time you set, just like a regular alarm.
