#4These apps, albeit being really "cool", make me uneasy.
I agree that it uses negative reinforcement to help you get your sleeping habits in shape, but I do not like the idea of an app punishing your laziness by making a mockery of you in front of your friends and the world. Is sleeping not supposed to be a private affair? Do we really want to notify the world of our sleeping habits?
Moreover, would you really like to see YOUR wall flooded with "Your friend, "XYZ" is a lazy-ass!" feeds as soon as you wake up?

To be exact:
I am weak willed. I set an Alarm for [ 03:06 PM ] but instead I have decided to snooze ( this is an automated message from BetterMe: www.bettermeapp.co )

#8To be honest, this facebook sharing idea would actually encourage you to snooze the clock rather than wake up, so you would be curious to see what kind of reactions it would provoke within your friends' circles. If you want this app to become popular, then you're doing it right. If you really don't want someone to snooze the alarm, then this isn't the way it should be, maybe ;)

I see you point, and with the advents of social media there is very little left for privacy. I suppose though in the end its a matter of personal choice. No one is forcing you to use these app.
I built this app because I wanted the extra motivation in the mornings. So far it's been working. I wake up with a smile on my face knowing that I won't be bothering my friends, and that now I have no choice but to get up.

I'm really curious, though: What is the “Standard Clock” checkbox? (What is a standard clock?)
