It tracks and analyzes your sleep and it helps you wake up. What I use on the app is the wake up window.

sleep cycles first and original core value was its wake-up window. It wakes you up at the perfect time and helps you rise when you're in light sleep so you'll feel restful and refreshed. It's brilliant because it has a very soft alarm which comes on and gets slightly louder and louder, gently waking you up. It doesn't have the really forceful alarm which can be a bit disconcerting. sometimes, Sleep cycle is also stuffed full of lots of insights, analytics and other features.

Welcome and I am honoured to have your presence and this opportunity to guide you and help you as you fall asleep into a comfortable position where you can safely go to sleep.

Get into the position you lie. In your bed, you can snuggle, get cozy. And get into that fantastic state of mind for rest and regeneration. Once you're there, close your eye. You desire to make healthy eating choices. You want to wake up. at an appropriate time for morning exercise, I exercise in into the day.

But this all starts with going to bed at an appropriate time and early time. So you can go to sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated with the energy to exercise. And if you can't sleep, Sometimes it means we may have not done enough exercise during the day. So try and do exercise so you can try and get back into these natural sleep cycles

that your body wants and your mind once. In order to achieve these desires, you must become relaxed and then focus on what it is that you really want. really want and need in your life. It is up to you to dedicate every single day and make the necessary efforts towards your goals. Say firmly to yourself. My intent is to wake up early, getting daily exercise with ease to better my overall health and well-being. Give yourself now the time to breathe in your energies. Most of us we go entire days without even thinking about our breath.

It is the very thing that is keeping us alive. Your breath has been there for you since the beginning. Fitting to each moment exactly as it needs. The breath never asks questions. It never judges you It simply does what is required instantaneously Let's honour our breath now

All that it gives us By taking five significant and purposeful breaths fully inhale Expanding your belly and chest As much as you can Then hold it For a moment

exhale, feeding a wave of relaxation, sweep over you, fitting your entire breathing system with fresh oxygen, hold it, then exhale noticing again the wave of relaxation, gently sweeping over you. all very deeply into your lungs and you're soaking up the life force that we call oxygen and you breathe out noticing your body relaxing in different areas without any effort from you and again fully inhale the life force beginning to feel these breaths purifying your entire body

body and then breathing out anything to do and just notice how you are feeling and breathe in again for the fifth and last breath and breathe a full breath of beautiful oxygen feeding the goodness of this simple task and exhale allow relaxation to sweep over you again and again and just take note of how you are feeling. In this very moment, you now, abundance of oxygen, this is how we were truly created to feel. Breathing deeply and fully is an expression of self-compassion. Let your breath be natural now. And amazing, this sweet abundance feels. That's good, very good. there sees into a state of complete relaxation, opening the subconscious mind

and allowing for any changes to day place. The wave of relaxation has come over you and now you just become aware of your body and feel the space around you and notice how the space around you hugs to your shape and notice the feeling of your weight pressing down

and see if you can feel the earth below you as if it's pressing up top of your head focus there noticing any sensations you have there down focus on your eyes and feel how they feel and notice the tiny movements they may be making of course your eyelids are closed

but you can still feel the ease movement. Relax you even further. Notice the mouth is feeling. As the air is passing through as you breathe in and out, you notice your mouth and taking awareness down your neck. You notice any tension just releasing. And you ask your body to release this tension. You notice the sensations in your body is making you feel very relaxed,

very comfortable. of your chest and lungs, expanding and contracting with each breath. Perhaps you can feel your heart beating, pumping with love, and you can send the focus down your arms way to each fingertip, and you feel the sensations such in each of your fingertips. And your focus is now on your abdomen, and you feel all your vital organs working to perfection. You notice how your belly feels how it is digesting perfectly. You notice your pelvis and hips and the sensations of your weight pressing down.

This takes you deeper into a state of relaxation. Airness goes down each leg, over your knees and down all the way to your feet. Each toe, you notice how completely relaxed. your entire body feels right now. Good. You now have become aware of every part of your body. Going into a relaxed state, sinking deep into the bed.

And you feel like you're sinking down. The more relaxed and focused you are on my words. And I'll count down from five to one. And as we go down from five to one, You'll feel more and more relaxed, more relaxed than maybe you've ever felt before and we'll start from 5 and you're feeling gently placed on top of the bed and 4 you feel yourself sinking deeper down so relaxed and 3 the more deeply you go down the more deeply you feel like you're sinking into the bed the more relaxed you feel and two you sink even further down

doubling the relaxation you felt before it feels so good just to relax this far and one you feel so deeply pushed into the mattress pushed into the bed and that overwhelming feeling of deep relaxation hits you

from your head to your toes up and down, back in front, side to side, the waves of relaxation come to you. And it feels so good, you feel so calm, and you feel so focused, and you feel so amazing and good. This time is just for you. Just for you to listen to my words. just for you to focus on your goals of more exercise, just for you to increase your motivation. And this makes you feel amazing. It makes you feel fantastic.

It makes you feel relaxed. Also, euphoric and happy. And you feel like you. And that's a great feeling. I'm going to tell you something very important. that I have to say to you, and they will affect your life for the better. You are completely aware at every level of your mind. And even though your body may feel asleep,

these things I am going to tell you will change your life for the better. Firstly, eating healthy is the first step in being healthy and as a lifetime commitment. You choose to eat the healthy food. there's a right for you and that you know are good for you. Exercise is also very important. During the day, you will have your workout and it'll be right for you either in the morning or in the evening or even during the day.

You may have it indoors or outdoors and outdoors passing by nature and breathing in fresh air. breathing in fresh air. And if you're outdoors when you exercise, gaze at the plants and the trees, and feel them supporting you in your journey. They do provide you with the oxygen after all. And if you notice a troublesome thought is coming your way, look at nature and appreciate its oxygen and take a deep breath. And breathing and exercising removes top. from our bodies and it heals us in every way.

And notice how you are feeling and you hear yourself saying I will go to bed at a good time. So when I rise in the morning I am well rested and ready for the day. Ready for my morning workout or working out later. Others admire me because I am I exude integrity because I'm honest with my words and inner feelings. And others value me because I greatly value myself. Working out and exercising can help you and the passion to change your entire life. And you can exercise easily and regularly.

And say I exercise easily and regularly. In order to change all that I desire, I simply practice new techniques that will build healthy habits and every single day I will do what is required. I will try not to skip when I should be exercising and I will rest when I feel I need to. In this modern world, we often forget to exercise, we have busy days. We have busy schedules and sometimes we can't even get outside to have a walk. Animals at the end of the day and we need exercise. For us to be healthy for our body to regenerate and to be helpful. Exercising helps remove the toxins from our body.

We're also rewarded with endorphins from our brain. And it gives us a natural sense of well-being. You may have heard of the runner's high. And that's a very real thing as your body gives you endorphins and rewards you for doing what your body wants and that is exercising. Sometimes we feel we don't want to sweat or exercise, but sweating helps remove the toxins. helps us regenerate and is a perfectly natural thing for our bodies to do. And now focus on what you want to get out of exercise.

It could be to lose weight. It could be to get healthier. It could be to improve your cardiovascular system. It could be to get good at a sport or a skill. to run faster, to jump higher, to run further, to lift more weights, to lift heavier weights. There's so many things we may want to do while we exercise. You may want to exercise in a sport or in a game and have fun and engage your brain at the same time you engage your body. Or you may just want to run, forget your troubles or lift weights and build your body.

build your muscles. There's so many different activities you can do and they're all healthy. And you can choose what is best for you. Either a sport or a fun game or a sport or a game you're playing on your own or a sport or game. You play in a team. You know what's right for you and you want to learn new skills. You want to do new things. You can exercise on your own in the gym, doing yoga, running on a treadmill, running outside, lifting ways or gently stretching. You can even just go on a walk and soak in nature and soak in your surroundings. There are so many good things you can do for your mind and your body. And you picture yourself now

doing these exercises. What do you look like? You've been doing it for a while now. And you picture this, you look confident. And you look at ease. And you may also look like you've lost a little weight or put on a little muscle. You look fantastic because exercising regularly

helps you feel and look better. You can use this motivation to exercise more regularly. Even tomorrow if you want to, you can make that decision for yourself because you are in power. You are in charge of your own body. I am not in charge of what you do. You are in charge of what you do.

I'm just a voice helping you along the way and giving you these things you these suggestions which you can take up and take forward into your life, but you do this willingly and you do it because you want to do it and you want to take these steps forward. Exercising as we know also boosts your immune system and that's so important. We want a strong and healthy immune system. It can help us in all aspects of our lives. And if you exercise outside,

you get the benefit of vitamin D, which you get through the sun through your skin, and you soak up the vitamin D, and it makes your body work perfectly as it should be. Exercising also helps you to sleep better because your body is tied at the end of the day it's ready for sleep it's ready for rejuvenation
