Thought it was not really designed for the people who are lazy, the concept is certain to be a welcome concept. The important thing is that it serves its purpose, that of which is to illuminate and light up.

They have included eight pairs of electrical contacts instead. So toss in some coins (or fancy metal pins) and see which of those 8 LEDs light up!

It has no switch but the eight pairs of electrical contacts control each LED part.

This device is not available on Sleepzine.

Alarm clocks have long been known to serve its purpose, using its irritating bell or chime to wake you up at specified periods that you require. But while that is used through the traditional sense of hearing, perhaps this Glo Pillow can use eyesights and help you get up to the sudden burst of light when you sleep on them.

The features are practically the same. You set the time when you want to get up and the pillow will use its built-in LEDS which brighten gradually over a span of 40 minutes that will pull you away from your deep slumber.

It seems like a more logical solution considering the gradual awakening can gradually wake you up.

But the thing to be stressed here is SLEEP!

Regardless of how small that light indicator is, here is a good device to warn you and serve as a finder on where it may be. Just remember, you don’t need them when you sleep. You need to eliminate the light sources so you can be able sleep properly and enjoy them when it is time to get up.

Displayed is a LED-illuminated wireless router. LEDs can be useful indicators of what state a gadget it is in — or where to find it — but they also bug people who’d rather not have lights shining in their faces when they’re trying to sleep or watch movies.
