The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits for you to be in your lightest phase of sleep before rousing you. Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed every morning.
As you sleep you pass through a sequence of sleep states – light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep – that repeats approximately every 90 minutes. The point in that cycle at which you wake can affect how you feel later, and may even have a greater impact than how long or little you have slept. Being roused during a light phase means you are more likely to wake up perky.
Was es nicht alles gibt. O.O
Wäre aber definitiv was für mich.
Genau wie der nächste Wecker. Allerdings würde das Ding wohl am Chaos auf meinem Boden scheitern.
If you have an unhealthy addiction to the snooze button on your alarm clock, you may appreciate the latest invention from MIT’s Media Lab. Clocky is an alarm with an ingenious method for rousing even the most dedicated morning dozer. After you hit the snooze button, the contraption rolls off the bedside table and zooms away on a set of wheels to some other part of the room, finding a new hiding place every day. When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep.
Das erinnerte mich dann auch prompt an die Puzzle-Uhr.
When it’s time to leave your incredibly cosy bed each morning, not only will your ears be treated to a fantastic ringing melody, a 4-piece jigsaw puzzle randomly shoots out.
So what you ask? Well, in order to turn off a ringing alarm, you must solve the jigsaw puzzle, assembling it back on to the clock.
Sollte jemand zufällig so eines dieser Dinge in die Hände bekommen, darf er es mir gern schenken. 😀
