Product Information
-
Overview
With LARK you can experience a better wake up and train yourself to better sleep.
Wake up silently and in a natural feeling way
Instead of a blaring alarm LARK uses touch to wake you up silently and effectively—while letting your partner sleep. Designed with a Harvard sleep expert, LARK's wristband is wirelessly connected via Bluetooth to your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and delivers gentle yet incredibly effective rolling vibrations to your wrist.
See that third of your life you never knew about
A powerful sleep pattern sensor collects information on how well you sleep each night. Based on the same actigraphy technology that has been the gold standard for sleep researchers for the last two decades, the sensor wirelessly sends your sleep patterns to your LARK Up app. The moment you turn off the alarm, LARK UP app shows you how you slept, how long it took you to fall asleep, how many times you woke up and much more.
Improve with your personal sleep dashboard
You can train yourself to sleep better. Learn how and track your sleep info on your personal online dashboard, free at www.LARK.com. The LARK UP app is a free download from the App Store in iTunes.

Great product
Purchased this in the Apple Store in Manchester. There is something so nice about not being woken up by an audible alarm. I feel s o much better right away after waking up. The only negative I can say is that it still wakes my partner up in bed as the vibration can be felt through the mattress, if its touching it.
The app is great. Ive only used it for a few nights but the sleep monitoring is cool and helpful. It highlights that while I aim to get 7-8 of sleep a night I wake up and average of 5 times per night, meaning i get closer to 6 hours. I am changing my habits to take this into account.
The built quality is great. …- Written by Sebastian G from Leeds

Intrested Products, awful realibilty
The is an interesting product, I originally used Wakemate however after my experience with Lark I am now happy with Wakemate again .
I have had the lark system since 30/06/2012 and have been upload anything to the Lark servers, since they are USA based then can only respond when they are awake.
Lark does now work in the UK as MyLark is down everyday day, for the entire day in the UK :( …- Written by Lee C from Redditch

Half a trick pony....
I have to agree with Lee C....
I had high hopes for the LARK.... purchased it from across the pond as I was so eager to try it o ut.....
Extremely disappointed.... although the concept is exciting.... the lark dive bombed.... The battery lasts one night.... on the odd occasion it lasted less than that..... even after it had charged all day.... I did not see reason for the oversized dock.... It looked awkward with the iphone sitting in it and the cable spiralling from the back of the dock to the iphone.... looked untidy..... the wrist device was would be better suited with a sweatband with sewn in pocket rather than the cheap looking strap with loop sewn in... I was conscious I was wearing it all night... was not exactly comfortable.... a sweatband combination would delete the sharp edge of the strap on your skin....
The vibrating motor is supposed to alternate it's pattern so it wakes you up.... that was noisy... so it could wake up your partner too....
The online monitoring..... was basic... leads you into purchasing the enhanced online version... but from the initial experience of the LARK.... that stopped me from investigating the potential any further...
It is a first generation product.... that said.... the Jawbone Up (1st generation) was better at waking you up... while it lasted.... My search continues for a device, that does what this promises.... …- Written by Mark R from CREWE

Does the iPhone display the time throughout the night like a regular alarm clock?
- Asked by Carrice D from San Francisco
- 17-Jan-2012
Best Answer
Yes when you have set an alarm for the lark, the software changes to a very dim clock display. This means that the backlight on your iPhone is on all night, which means that you need to have the phone plugged in to a charger or your battery will go flat.
Personally I find that the light from the clock is too bright and arent too comfortable about having the backlight on all the time does for the long term life of my phone. …- Answered by Carl T from Bundoora

can this be set up to keep a database of sleep history? something I can show my doctor?
- Asked by David L from Lancaster
- 07-May-2012
Answer
Yes and no.
The Lark software tracks data, including how long you slept, how long it too you to fall asleep and how many times you woke it. It provides an assessment of how well it believes you slept and allows you to tag categories to describe your sleep.
All of this data resides with Lark via a linked account (free that you sign up for).
You can view this data in the app and show it to your doctor on your iOS device.
But, as for sorting, analyzing, importing it into something like a spreadsheet or database: that is not possible at this point. …- Answered by Karen & Marc P from Aliso Viejo

Does it wake you at an optimal time in your sleep-cycle?
- Asked by Michael W from Manchester
- 04-Feb-2012
Best Answer
Lark says they are working on adding this feature (there is discussion about it in their forums). Ho wever, it's unclear it it is possible to add this via a software update (and they seem to be responsive to bugs and feature requests), or if it would require new hardware.
It is the most-significant missing feature of the product, IMO. …- Answered by Karen & Marc P from Aliso Viejo

Does it emit signals like cell phones
- Asked by Annik C from Cooks Brook
- 27-Jan-2012
Answer
It communicates over bluetooth. So it emits signals over those frequencies.
However it only sends out signals for a short time after the alarm is set and when the alarm goes off, for the rest of the night when you are wearing it the transmitter goes to sleep.
Personally I think that the signals are quite minor compared to your phone and you will have to have your phone in the room to turn the alarm off on the Lark when you wake up. …- Answered by Carl T from Bundoora
