Although the AIRE Mask Concept was made to charge iPhones in a different manner, it may be a good thing to use as well when it comes to being productive when you are asleep. This is of course with the assumption that you have normal breathing patterns when in deep slumber, an area to which some people may have problems on.

Regardless, the device makes use of small wind turbines to convert a person’s breath to electricity. Of course it looks like the mask can be used as well when you are awake but for some, it may not follow especially if you are easily irritated. Whatever the case may be, the concept seems like a dandy idea, an alternative for people seeking wise charging options for their device/s.

As the heavy sleepers continue to look for the right alarm clock, the answer may lie on the most annoying one you can find in the market. And if the Cicadidae Clock isn’t annoying, I don’t know what is. The clock was named after those annoying buzzing insects, the cicadas. This is an alarm clock concept from designer Jongwoo Choi which turns all gadgets around you as elements in getting you out of bed.

With the unit placed near your bed, it makes use of neat graphics which incrementally take form as the set time to wake up nears. It comes with jacks that disconnect some parts of it from the main clock. There are four of these which seem to go into phones or stereo components that would look like ways of amplifying that annoying buzzing sound to wake you up.

Bluetooth dongles feature small speakers which would need your electronic devices or appliances turned on to make it work. Though it may seem to waste some electricity, this is perhaps a great resort for the people who are really obnoxious when wake up calls are necessary.

Here is a good alternative to people who want to shy away from the usual sleeping pills to get a good sleep. Acupressure boasts of a biomedical device called the Dreamkeeper 400 that relies largely on acupressure techniques, stimulating the median nerves on the inside of the wrist through electrostatic pulses and adjustable vibration.

So for all the sleep deprived and insomnia-riddled people out there, this may be the solution that you have long been looking for. A better alternative than the risky sleeping pills such as Ambien.
