Sun-Mimicking Alarm Clocks

The 'Rise' Alarm Clock Uses Light Before Audio to Wake You Up

— January 30, 2018 — Tech
Waking up is never easy, so the 'Rise' alarm clock has been designed as a futuristic piece of equipment for consumers that will enable them to wake up with better efficiency. Being that a rising number of consumers are looking for ways to optimize their lifestyle, the clock works by incorporating a smart light that will mimic the sun in the morning to help gently wake you up. If this doesn't work, the clock will then utilize a gentle audio alarm to coax you out of your slumber to eliminate the occurrence of waking up abruptly because of a jarring alarm.

The 'Rise' alarm clock is the design work of Neutron Technologies and also incorporates an accompanying smartphone app to let users customize the functionality to their preferences.

3. Personalized Sleep Solutions - Customizable alarm settings and light features cater to individual sleep patterns and preferences, paving the way for personalized sleep technology.

1. Sleep Technology - Companies can disrupt the traditional alarm clock market by developing innovative sleep technology products that cater to personalized and optimal sleep solutions.
2. Consumer Electronics - Smartphone-integrated devices are disrupting the consumer electronics industry and companies who integrate this technology into their products stand to gain a competitive edge.
3. Smart Home - Sun-mimicking alarm clocks can be integrated with other smart home technology, creating opportunities for companies to disrupt the traditional home automation industry.
