Do you fear your alarm clock or have problems waking up in the morning? It might be because you woke up from a non-optimal phase of sleep. While we sleep, the brain moves through several levels of activity called sleep stages. If we wake when the brain is in an inactive, "deep" sleep stage, we feel tired and groggy. If we wake when the brain is in an active "light" sleep stage, we feel alert and energetic. The scientific community has known about this phenomenon for decades, but the technology has not existed to take advantage of it—until now. Enter SleepSmart™: an intelligent solution to groggy mornings that monitors your sleep cycles and wakes you from the most optimal stage of sleep. You will be awoken in a time window just minutes prior to your set alarm time, never after. When you wake up, you will feel revived and ready for the day—just as if you had awoken naturally. In order to feel better in the morning, sleepers wear a minimal, comfortable and sleek headband that passively... See less

More gentle than the jarring noise of traditional alarms, this clock uses a gradual increase in ambient light, stimulating aromas, and peaceful sounds from nature to awaken sleepers. Easy to use, simply set the desired wake up time, place some aromatherapy beads (included) into the aroma bowl, and choose a natural sound setting. Thirty minutes before wake-up, the clocks light begins to glow softly, subtly brightening over the next half hour. As the light increases, the warmth from the lamp releases faint aromatherapy scents into the air to stimulate the olfactory senses, speeding the waking process. Fifteen minutes before wake up time, the clocks speaker generates the sleepers choice of soft, yet lively nature sounds, and at the set wake up time a buzzer sounds to finish the cycle. The alarm can also be used to awaken using only sound, or just the buzzer. Sound selection includes Nightfall, Thunder Storm, Zen Melody, Mountain Stream, Songbirds, and Ocean Surf. Four packets of aroma... See less
