It's a known fact that most adults don't get enough sleep. With jobs, kids, and our daily occupations, sleep seems to be the last thing on our minds. In other parts of the world, naps have always helped those that needed some respite, but sometimes, you just need a good night's sleep.
DOoP Multi Sensory Alarm Knows How Long You've Slept
Strangely enough, this alarm clock will help you sleep better. That's weird, since most alarm clocks are the main cause of waking up. Designer Tan Weihao Rios has created this incredibly cute-looking alarm clock, which will allow you to wake up or catch a bit more sleep. DOoP will help you figure out how many hours you've slept and how much sleep you're getting, and how much you actually need. This sleep deficit is problematic for most people, as they become really inefficient due to lack of sleep. The red and green dials on the face will remind you where you are at. They will tell you how much sleep you need. There is also a countdown timer and a night light. DOoP will wake you up with sound and light, engaging more of your senses.
We've long known that our usual way of waking up isn't very good. Ideally, we'd like a cheaper version of the Wake-Up Light, which simply uses light to wake you up naturally. DOoP is small and compact and we all know that we could do with more sleep. Sadly, this is just a concept, but since this isn't something very complicated to make, we hope that we will see it on shelves pretty soon.

This sounds like a great idea, I'd love one when it's available. But if you want an alarm that wakes you with light, there is one available, the Moonbeam clock from Westclox. It's a remake of an old clock from the 50s. At first it blinks a light at you, but if that doesn't wake you, there's an audible alarm--a quite loud one. I have one and I really like it, it has a cool retro vibe and comes in some great colors. The only problem I've found is that the entire clock glows, which is distracting when I'm trying to sleep. So I keep a napkin over it so I can sleep--even covered, the blinking light is enough to wake me (usually.) What I should do is take the clock apart and disconnect the light to the entire body of the clock.

I have the same clock Pencils. I just turn the face away from me at night. It's a great alarm clock because the flashing light wakes me, but not my partner.

I love the idea, but I'd never buy a clock that looks like a weird little person. The colors and styling don't fit the intended audience -- busy adults.

Bah. I put a timer on the coffee pot. I'm so addicted to caffeine, the smell of fresh coffee gets me out of bed every time.
