Why the Sleep Cycle App Is Awesome*

1. It only costs 99 cents.
2. It monitors your sleep cycles (based on how much you're moving around) using the iPhone's accelerometer.
3. It taught me that the iPhone has an accelerometer, and also what that is.
4. It charts that s**t!
   
5. It wakes you up with your choice of pleasant sounds around the time you need to be up (default is a 30-minute window)--but it waits until you are in a light sleep, thereby avoiding the disoriented, groggy, can't-recover-all-day-long feeling that you get when jarred awake from deep sleep.
6. Did I mention the charts? Charts!
   
7. I actually feel really good today.

Things I like about my Galaxy tablet

• The new Blogger app, JIT
• This bulletpoint dot I just found on the keyboard
• My German dictionary and travel apps
• Fits in my left hand (probably right also)
• Mobile Google Reader
• Reading Twitter is way easier on a touchscreen
• Swype!
• Austen loves gadgets like this, so he loaded everything for me
• Ease of usage in places like coffee shops, couches, and bathrooms
