Wake Up To A Glowing Pillow
That's the gist of it. Here are the details. Instead of waking up to a loud repetitive sound, the glo Pillow simulates a natural sunrise by using a series of LEDs and cloth substrate developed by Phillips. The time is displayed in an embedded LED grid. Approximately 45 minutes before your designated wake-up, the light intensity from the pillow gradually increases all the way to 250 lux which is how bright a sunrise is. Using light to wake the body calmly reactivates the system instead of jolting it which sends a shot of adrenaline. What's really cool is the battery induction technology that recharges the pillow wirelessly. Just place the induction pad underneath the pillow. As long as the pillow stays somewhere near the pad, it'll be charged. The pillow itself is made from 5 layers of cotton, batting and visco-elastic memory foam or more commonly known as tempurpedic.
Unfortunately it's concept only designed by Eoin McNally and Ian Walton.
