I want to be able to wake up early for stuff without having to wake up my wife and dogs.&lt;p&gt;I want an alarm app on my Apple Watch that:&lt;p&gt;1) Wakes me up when I&amp;#x27;m in light sleep rather than REM&lt;p&gt;2) Only vibrates on my wrist at first (let&amp;#x27;s say for 5 minutes) and then falls back to a traditional alarm sound so I get my ass up just in case&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve gotten to the point of almost buying some Udemy courses on Apple Watch development to build the damn thing myself. Only thing really holding me back is figuring out the algorithm for sleep tracking, but I&amp;#x27;m sure that wouldn&amp;#x27;t be really hard to do.&lt;p&gt;Maybe I&amp;#x27;ll just do it still.</text></comment>
