Yes. SleepSafe's scheduled wake-ups gently rouse you on the wrist shortly before a night terror's usual time. This automates anticipatory awakening, a clinically supported technique, and adapts the timing to your own logged pattern.
Getting there first
Most of what SleepSafe does is reactive: it waits for the early signs of an episode, then nudges you out of it. Scheduled wake-ups work the other way around. They do not wait for anything to happen; they get there first, using the fact that night terrors run on a predictable clock.
How you set it up
You add a wake-up with a slider ("wake me 40 minutes after tracking starts") and can set more than one per night. Once you have logged a handful of your own events, SleepSafe charts when they actually cluster after you fall asleep, so you can move the wake-up to just before your own peak instead of guessing.
The wake-up itself
When the time comes, the watch starts a soft, repeating tap and asks one question: are you awake? It is enough to reset the cycle, not enough to start your night over. It never fires at exactly the minute you set (it shifts by 5 to 10 minutes so your body cannot adapt), and it always yields to a real episode already in progress.
SleepSafe is a complementary tool, not a replacement for professional medical treatment. If nightmares or night terrors affect your health or daily life, speak with a healthcare provider.
