for me, the biggest hurdle to sleep cycle is that it needs to be physically on my bed whilst i sleep, whereas WakeMate is a wrist band.

i used sleep cycle for a while, however the phone would fall off my bed or i had to place it under my pillow (which is not recommended because of heat). plus, i don't really like having the phone that close to me whilst sleeping.

i look forward to WakeMate, i think it will be a more complete solution.

Sleepcycle: I just placed the Phone under the topsheet, where it doesn't move.

Wakemate: Doesn't the phone have to be close to you to hear the alarm? Or does the wristband have a speaker in it?

i tried under the sheet, it annoyed me and was inconvenient. personal preference though.

my phone sits on my bedside table, next to my bed. easily close enough for the wakemate connection.
