Sleep Cycle app screen remains dark upon waking
💚 healthproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A long-term Sleep Cycle user reports that the app leaves their phone screen completely dark upon waking, preventing them from using the phone's light to navigate their bedroom safely.
What people do today
- Navigating to a separate room to turn on bright lights
- Searching app settings for a disable option
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A toggle in the app settings to keep the screen at a low-light level instead of turning it off completely upon alarm.
- A feature that allows users to customize the screen brightness behavior during the wake-up window.
- A 'flashlight' shortcut button on the alarm dismissal screen for safe navigation.

“every morning when I wake up, my phone screen is completely dark. Imagine waking up in the dark, wanting to use your phone to make sure you don’t trip over a dog, but nothing except the black abyss on your phone screen.”
