Do you wake up every day feeling too tired, or even upset? If so, then a new alarm clock could be just for you.
The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits around you to be in your lightest phase of sleep towards rousing you. Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed every morning.
As you sleep you pass into a sequence of sleep states—light sleep, deep sleep and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep—that resumes approximately every 90 minutes. The point in that cycle at which you wake can perfect how you feel later, and may ever have a greater impact than how much or little you have slept. Being roused during a light phase says you are more likely to wake up energetic.
SleepSmart records the distinct pattern of brain waves progressed during each phase of sleep, via a headband equipped with electrodes (电极) and a microprocessor. This measures the electrical activity of the wearer’s brain, in much the same way as some machines used for medical and research purposes, and communicates wirelessly with a clock unit near the bed. You program the clock with the latest time at which you want to be wakened, and it then duly (适时地) wakes you during the last light sleep phase before that.
The concept was invented by a group of students at Brown University in Rhode Island after a friend complained of waking up tired and performing poorly on a test. “As sleep-deprived people ourselves, we started thinking of what to do about it,” says Eric Shashoua, a recent college graduate and now chief executive officer of Axon Sleep Research Laboratories, a company created by the students to develop their idea.
