What do you think of this free sleep app that doesn't have advertisements?

    While I'm currently not able to look at this app, I can say that
   I often lie without motion while still being awake at night,
   so I doubt such a device would be able to detect I'm awake.

I use one such app that tracks my sleep. One feature it has is the alarm clock. Instead of a fixed time to wake me up, it checks during half an hour if it is the correct phase of my sleep to wake me up.
Well, sometimes I wake up on my own near that time. I lie down not moving at all, hoping to fall sleep again, and that the alarm doesn't sound. But it does. The thing finds out that I am awake feigning being sleep and it "rings", early in the half an hour interval instead of late.
