'aXbo' Sleep Phase Alarm Clock Optimizes Mornings
Katie Cordrey — March 24, 2009 — Eco
The aXbo sleep phase alarm clock uses natural sleep cycles to determine the best time to wake up. The clock is designed to wake people individually at their optimal waking time during a light sleep phase.
aXbo registers your body movements using a comfortable toweling wristband. The clock then determines where you are in your natural sleep cycle and wakes you in the last 30 minutes before your set waking time.
Since waking works with your body’s natural rhythms, you are more likely to feel refreshed and ready for action than you would were you roused from a deep sleep.
