Finally! One of the products I’m yearning to get. I’ve been around so many noisy episodes throughout a normal day that the alarm clock just isn’t working anymore. I’d set it for 6:30AM and I’d wake up by 8:15am. Oh my!
This is called the Glo Pillow and here’s a quick blurb from their site: “The glo Pillow is an alternative to the traditional alarm clock. It was designed with teammate Eoin McNally in response to a brief to create a product which helps to combat the pressures of a “24 hour” lifestyle. 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.”
Yes, it’s still in the concept-stage… but pretty soon, this baby will fly!

1Great idea - but would it work if you sleep on your back? I know we have similar lights available in the UK but they’re meant to be facing you for when you wake up. It’s actually meant to provide an almost natural way to wake up and is much more preferable to a standard alarm.
