Sleep Cycle alarm clock, $0.99
Did you know that your body burns calories while you sleep? For example, a 120-pound person burns about 408 calories with eight hours of shut-eye, which has to be the easiest and most relaxing way to lose weight in our book. That is, until the alarm clock goes off smack in the middle of your "cruising on a yacht with George Clooney" dream. Then you're just tired and cranky.We feel the most tired when we get woken up during a REM cycle, which is when our brain is in its deepest sleep.

Now, you can finish your George Clooney dream in peace.
