Why Do Phones Know When to Wake You Up?

Imagine your phone is like a friend who watches you every night. It sees when you go to bed, how long you sleep, and even if you're restless. Then it wakes you up at the best time, not just with a loud beep but in a way that feels gentle. Your phone uses sensors and smart apps to know when to wake you, like a clock that learns your habits.
