New alarm clock --- wakes you when you're ready

Post by Yawning in OK » Fri Apr 15, 2005 8:29 am

Just what we need - another device to strap to our heads. But, on the other hand, if you're wanting an additional strap to secure you're headgear............

Very interesting! I wonder what it will cost and if it will record how much time you spend in each sleep phase.

Funny they should call it "Sleep Smart", when what it does is "Wake Smart". Isn't Sleep Smart what CPAP is supposed to help us achieve? but, I guess that since students want to sleep, not to wake, sleep smart is probably better for marketing..

Wader,
I guess the cost will depend on whether you can buy it through a regular retailer ($50-$60), or you have to go through a DME ($2500 - $3000).

Later,

My alarm clock has 4 little legs and weighs about 12 pounds.

My alarm clocks are 2 and 5 and they like to be up by 5:15 am every morning! At what age do they understand "go quietly and watch TV and don't wake up mommy and daddy?"

Wonder why AutoPAP designers don't use the same brain wave interface this clock does????
