Features

All-in-one Sleep Toolkit

Nap Engine

Motion-Based
Sleep Detection

Naptime utilizes high-sensitivity accelerometer data to monitor your body movement. It distinguishes between "settling in" movements and the stillness of true sleep.

Smart Timing

True Duration
Timer

You asked for 20 minutes? You get 20 minutes. The countdown only starts once we confirm you're asleep, ensuring you get the full restorative benefit.

Deadline Control

Hard Wake
Deadline

Set a latest wake-up time for any nap. Even if you never fall asleep, the alarm fires by your cutoff.

Sleep Tracking Interface
Sleep Insights

Sleep Mode
for Nights

Track overnight sessions alongside naps so your rest history reflects the full rhythm of your day.

Optimization

Tag-Based
Patterns

Label sessions with custom tags and compare how habits, environments, and routines affect your sleep.

Insights

See sleep latency, efficiency, mood, tags, and night sleep trends in one local history. Learn what improves your rest and what quietly ruins it.

Daily Utility

Regular Alarms

The Science

Why Short Naps Work

Research from NASA and sleep scientists reveals that 10-30 minute naps provide maximum benefit without grogginess. Naptime also uses your personal sleep history to refine its recommendations — your optimal duration may differ from any single study.

🚀
+54% Alertness

NASA found pilots who took 26-minute naps showed 54% improved alertness and 34% fewer mistakes. (link to study)

❤️
Live Healthier

Regular napping promotes heart regulation, with research showing 37% lower coronary mortality in frequent nappers. (link to study)

🧠
Mood & Memory

A 2023 randomized controlled trial found that nappers woke up with significant improvements to mood, alertness, and memory. (link to study)

Beats Caffeine

Research from 2008 shows that power naps are more effective than caffeine at improving verbal memory and motor skills. (link to study)

📰
The Economist

A 2026 feature highlights that the 20-minute "sweet spot" is a biological superpower, slowing brain aging and lowering heart risk. (link to article)

10-20min Optimal

Research shows 10-20 minute naps avoid "sleep inertia" (that groggy feeling) while maximizing cognitive benefits. (link to study)

FAQ

Common Questions

How does Naptime detect sleep without a wearable?

Naptime uses your phone's built-in accelerometer to continuously monitor body movement. When your movement drops to the sustained stillness that only happens during actual sleep, the app registers sleep onset and silently starts your timer. No wearable, no chest strap — just place your phone on the mattress beside you.

Does Naptime work without an internet connection?

Yes. The app works fully offline. Sleep detection, alarms, analytics, and history all run locally on your device. An internet connection is never required.

What's the difference between Nap mode and Sleep mode?

Nap mode is duration-based — you set how long you want to sleep (e.g. 20 minutes) and the timer counts down after sleep is detected. Sleep mode is time-based — you set a wake-up time and Naptime monitors your full overnight session, recording movement data throughout the night. Both modes track latency, efficiency, and mood.

Will the alarm fire even if I never fall asleep?

Yes. Every session has a hard deadline. If you set a 20-minute nap with a 1:00 PM cutoff, the alarm fires at 1:00 PM regardless of whether sleep was detected. You will never sleep through a commitment.

Where does my sleep data go?

It stays on your device. Naptime never transmits sleep data to any server. No account is required, and no data is shared with third parties. To delete everything, use the Delete My Data button in Settings or uninstall the app.

How should I place my phone?

Place your phone face-up on the mattress next to you — close enough that your body movements transfer through the mattress to the phone. It does not need to touch you directly. Avoid placing it on a hard surface like a nightstand.

Can I use Naptime for full overnight sleep?

Yes. Sleep mode is designed for full nights. Set a wake-up time, go to sleep, and Naptime builds a picture of your night — including how long it took to fall asleep, how restful the sleep was, and how your earlier naps correlated with your night quality.

How is Naptime different from setting a regular 20-minute timer?

A regular timer starts counting the moment you press start — before you've fallen asleep. If it takes 15 minutes to fall asleep and you set a 20-minute timer, you only get 5 minutes of actual rest. Naptime detects when sleep begins and only then starts the countdown, so a 20-minute nap means 20 minutes of sleep.
