Quite frequently sound of alarm clock is like a punch in the face, the person is awake, but not entirely and won’t be for a couple minutes, is grumpy and rather unsatisfied. It’s because the person had been woken from deep sleep or so called slumber. For the solution I offer alarm clock which has two component parts- clock itself and sleep sensor. Sensor detects every movement thanks to accelerometer and sends them to the clock which calculates individual sleep algorithm and wakes at appropriate sleep phase. Alarm starts it’s ringing with 5-9 min inaccuracy (depends on the rhythm of phases), however it guarantees that person will be fully woken, fresh and redy for new day. Clock works with solar power. Sensor is embeded in thin silicon lamina, which won’t disturb ones sleep and will stay in it’s place under pillow or sheet all night.
