Many smartphone users set their alarm clocks on their phones, but the bright light that comes from the screens can be harmful when waking the weary and bleary-eyed, causing sore eyes and headaches. Definitely not a great way to wake up in the morning, dealing with the lock screen can be avoided with the Tangible Alarm from Objects and Interactions. A wooden panel with three sections allows users to simply place their phone in one section to set, one to snooze and another to turn off the alarm. The Tangible Alarm system makes the touch phone alarm easier to deal with. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tangible Alarm Systems:** Developing tangible alarm systems as an alternative method of waking up that reduces the harm caused by the bright light from phone screens. - **Intuitive Alarm Clocks:** Creating intuitive alarm clocks that make waking up easier for the weary-eyed and sleep deprived. - **Screenless Alarm Clocks:** Designing screenless alarm clocks that provide a less disruptive method of waking up in the morning. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Developing tangible alarm clocks within the consumer electronics industry to provide customers with alternatives to screen-based alarm systems. - **Home Goods:** Creating intuitive alarm clocks within the home goods industry to provide customers with more seamless experiences when waking up in the morning. - **Sleep and Wellness:** Designing screenless alarm clocks within the sleep and wellness industry to offer customers solutions for more comfortable and less disruptive mornings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gesture Based Structured Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-smart-clock.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/routine-alarm-clock.md) - [Digital Personality Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock.md) - [Branded Technology Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-snooze.md) - [Silent Wearable Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silentwakeup.md) - [Minimal Wake-Aware Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-sleep-light.md) - [Anti-Smartphone Bedside Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mudita-clocks.md) - [Clapperboard-Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-alarm-clock.md) - [Connected Sunrise Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-smartsleep-connected-sleep-and-wakeup-light.md)
