Power Napp

Power Napp - A Simple Power Nap Timer app Pick the nap that fits the time you have — Quick Recharge, NASA Nap, Deep Rest, Full Cycle or Coffee Nap — and start napping with a simple action. A set of vibrations will wake you up. — Quick Recharge - 15 to 20 minutes of napping, this is by far the most common Nap and considered "the" Power Nap. Reset the system and provide a boost of alertness and increased motor performance. — NASA Nap - 20 to 30 minutes, also called the stage 2 nap. Named after the NASA study that found a short nap measurably improved pilot alertness and performance. Good for alertness and motor learning skills like typing and playing the piano. — Deep Rest - Slow-wave sleep, napping for approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Good for decision-making skills, such as memorising vocabulary or recalling directions. The app will point out that naps of this length can leave you groggy on waking. — Full Cycle - Gets into Rapid eye movement or REM sleep, usually 60 to 90 minutes. Plays a key role in making new connections in the brain and solving creative problems. — Coffee Nap - Drink your coffee right before a 20 minute nap. Caffeine takes about 20 minutes to reach you, so it peaks just as you wake — research suggests this beats either a nap or a coffee on its own. Fixed at 20 minutes; the app prompts you to drink up before the timer starts. The nap screen stays calm on purpose: a progress ring and an approximate time remaining, so a glance reassures you that the timer is running instead of starting a countdown. Don't forget to rate how you feel after the nap for finding which time works best for you. My Week — Check how many naps you had in the current week. — Swipe/press up/down to access the "My Week" view. — How you felt after the nap will be colour-coded in the nap plot bars. — Rested (Blue), Energised (Red), Tired (Yellow), Groggy (Green), Unrated (White). — Keep track of your napping habits and aim for consistency. — Compare with previous weeks (under development). Under development: Nap Reminder — When active, the app will remind you to nap when you reach the configured time. — Note: The best time for a nap is generally about 7 hours after waking (to be more precise, note your afternoon mood and energy levels for a week to find your optimal nap time).

What's New IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you contact the developer with an issue, suggestion or bug, make sure you leave a contact email, else it is not possible to get back to you with feedback on your topic. #### 0.7.0 - New Coffee Nap, purpose-named presets and a calmer nap screen — New Coffee Nap preset. Drinking your coffee immediately before a 20-minute nap lets the caffeine take effect right as you wake. The app prompts you to drink up before the timer starts. — Nap presets are now named for what they do: Quick Recharge, NASA Nap, Deep Rest and Full Cycle. The duration is still shown next to each one. — Naps between 30 and 60 minutes now show a short note about possible grogginess on waking, so you can pick a length that suits the time you have. — Redesigned nap screen. The progress ring is now the main indicator, with a calm "Napping..." and approximate minutes remaining instead of a large counting number. Glancing at your watch mid-nap should reassure you, not start a countdown. #### 0.6.5 - Improved OLED wake and background timer reliability — OLED/AMOLED devices (fēnix® 7/8, epix™ Gen 2, Forerunner® 265/955/965/970 and others) will now receive a notification when the nap is complete, waking the screen even when it has turned off automatically. — Fixed an issue where the background timer could fail to register if the app was briefly reopened and closed again shortly before the nap ended. The timer will now retry automatically. — Performance and stability improvements. #### 0.6.4 - Added support for newer Connect IQ compatible devices — Added support for MARQ™ Gen 2 family of devices. #### 0.6.3 - Fixed issue where background timer would still run after cancelling Nap — Fixed issue where Nap timer would run in background after cancelling the Nap. #### 0.6.2 - Added support for newer Connect IQ compatible devices — Added support for Venu SQ 2 family of devices. #### 0.6.1 - Added support for Descent 2 family of devices, FR 955 and FR255 family. #### 0.6.0 - Added background timer (experimental) — The app will now set a background nap timer when screen turns off or app is exited with a timer running. — This enables devices with OLED screens (i.e. Venu, Venu2) to keep tracking the nap time when the screen turns off. — When the app is exited with an ongoing nap, the user will now be notified via a message that the nap time is over when the timer expires. #### 0.5.2 - Build using latest Connect IQ 4.1.4 SDK — New build using latest Connect IQ SDK version.
