App idea (alien.top)

I have an Apple Watch app idea. The watch can detect when you fall asleep right? So, don’t you hate when you take a spontaneous nap and forget to set an alarm (or are just too lazy to) and then you sleep longer than you would have liked? There should be an app that knows when you fall asleep and sets an alarm automatically for like 30 mins (can be adjusted) so you don’t accidentally nap longer than you should.

I’d call it Anti-Amnesia.

What you guys think?

Not really. The watch knows when you're relaxed and immobile, it doesn't meant that you are asleep / napping. The other way is true as well - you could be tossing and turning but still asleep and benefit from in-sleep recovery.

I love this idea. If I do happen to take a nap, if it’s longer than 15 minutes, I’m totally discombobulated for an hour

You would have to activate it before going to sleep because what happens if instead of sleeping 30 I want to sleep 15 or 45?... Additionally, the watch does not detect that you fall asleep, it needs to know your sleep schedule. I'm sorry, it's not a good idea, that's why the alarm already exists
