The Glo pillow was designed to serve as an alternative to the regular alarm clock. The pillow uses LED technology to wake the user with the light as well as to display the time on the pillow which begins to glow 40 minutes before the pre-set time. The idea is that the user will wake up gradually and not suddenly and violently as with an alarm clock.
The pillow uses an LED fabric substrate below the surface to wake the user using light. This substrate also functions as a display, showing the time on the pillows surface using the grid of LEDs below. 40 minutes before the pre-set alarm time the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep. This natural waking process helps to set the circadian rhythm or "body clock" and results in more healthy sleep/wake patterns.
