There is a new device in town and it aims to help the people who want to determine the best time to wake up and sleep. It is called the Sleep Phase Alarm Clock, a new gadget that is placed on the wrist of a person which monitors sleeping patterns and supposedly determines the right time to wake you up.Now most people would be relieved by it but the question is, what is the best time to wake up and to sleep? It may address the problem of comfortable sleep, but does it address the problem of insomnia and waking up when needed?

So the question remains, would you leave it up to one gadget to control your sleeping habits? Well all sleep deprived people will try anything for an alternative solution, even if it costs 199 Euros. Just beware of the taxes involved. It may haunt you in your sleep!

Here’s another alarm clock that will help you sleep better at night similar to sleeptracker.

a sleek alarm clock that communicates wirelessly with a wristband that does basically the same thing as the Sleeptracker: it keeps track of your movements throughout the night, gauging how deeply you’re sleeping by how much you’re thrashing. You set a window during which it can wake you, and it waits for the right moment within that space. Of course, the aXbo won’t help you sleep better, but it could help you wake up feeling a little more refreshed — if you don’t mind shelling out €200 ($241) for the privilege.

Here’s a cool LED Lamp for sleeping better at night. Supposedly, this alarm clock/light can help you sleep better based on some mumbo jumbo scientific marketing.
We don’t know if it in fact works, but if you have tried out this $2300 lamp, make sure leave a comment!

…what makes it special is its design that is developed with the support of sleep researchers. NightCove uses lights and sounds aimed solely at improving sleep quality. You can connect it to your MP3 player, computer, TV or your hi-fi system too and two NightCove units can be synchronized to perform stereo operations.

Here’s Top 10 List of most annoying alarm clocks in the world. The one pictured above can be activated by pulling out the grenade pin and throwing it in the sleeper’s room. Although it doens’t actually blow up, the grenade alarm clock will make loud noises that forces your enemy (target sleeper) to wake up and turn off the alarm clock.

This is a patent labeled, “Device for Waking Persons from Sleep“, from 1882. Now we call it alarm clock but I guess this would be one of the first alarm clock patents ever. Looks awful painful though when waking up to this device, probably not good for modern ages…

. . . The object of my invention is to construct a simple and effective device for waking persons from sleep at any time which may have previously been determined upon, the device being also adapted for use in connection with an electric or other burglar-alarm apparatus, in place of the usual gong-alarms. . . .

Ordinary bell or rattle alarms are not at all times effective for their intended purpose, as a person in time becomes so accustomed to the noise that sleep is not disturbed when the alarm is sounded. The main aim of my invention is to provide a device which will not be liable to this objection.

In carrying out my invention I suspend a light frame in such a position that it will hang directly over the head of the sleeper, the suspending-cord being combined with automatic releasing devices, whereby the frame is at the proper time permitted to fall into the sleeper’s face . . . the only necessity to be observed in constructing the frame being that when it falls it will strike a light blow, sufficient to awaken the sleeper, but not heavy enough to cause pain. . . .

Here’s an alarm clock that might work for some of you Matrix-generation folks.

Light Sleeper is an illuminating, personalised alarm integrated into bedding that gently wakes in the most natural way. Ever since the beginning of time light has controlled our body clock telling us when to sleep and when to wake. As lifestyles are rapidly changing with increased travel and demands on our time, people’s natural body clocks are out of sync. This pillow and duvet simulates a natural dawn that eases you into your day. LightSleeper Bedding uses electroluminescent technology allowing traditional textile surfaces to become a reactive light source.

Here’s an alarm clock you can use if you want your sleep to not be disturbed by sound or light.

The Sonic Bomb Clock has an adjustable volume alarm with a maximum loudness of 113 decibels (just for reference, a jackhammer is about 100 decibels!) And the bed shaker does just that. Slip it under your mattress and your ears will bleed and your bed will shake, and there is no way you will oversleep. Or, you could turn the sound alarm off and tape the bed shaker to your office chair. You’ll be vibrated awake without disturbing the drones. Then you can get back to your Ninja activity refreshed and ready for action.
