It plays a key role in sleep and now it will also help us wake up better.
The reason for our pillow – that essential bed accessory we enjoy at the end of a tiring (or not) day. But the Sunrise Smart Pillow is no ordinary pillow, as it promises to “revolutionize our evenings and our mornings.”
So get ready for a restful sleep and a painless “natural” awakening. When it’s time to get out of bed, the smart pillow will simulate a sunrise! So, even if you wake up before sunrise (or just sleep with the blinds closed), the light strips on the sides of the pillow will wake you up smoothly, just like natural daylight would. Simply set the time you want to get up and the pillow will do the rest.
In fact, the alarm clock that communicates with the Sunrise Pillow claims to be able to detect your sleep cycle, initiating the wake-up process when you're in the lightest phase of your sleep cycle. This means your pillow will start to mimic the sunrise before your alarm goes off, ensuring that the moment you open your eyes, you'll feel rested.
Additionally, you will no longer hear the loud and often irritating sound of your alarm clock, as the Sunrise Pillow will use sounds of nature or your favorite music to wake you up. The pillow also comes with an app, which is intended to track your sleep trends and history and may help improve the quality of your sleep.
“The way we wake up (with conventional alarm clocks) is unnatural, even harmful, and needs to change,” the team behind Sunrise notes. “Waking up from a deep sleep not only sabotages your morning energy and mood, but also your daily energy.”
Currently, you can pre-order a Sunrise pillow for $99, with an estimated delivery date of August 2017.
