During our sleep we go through different cycles, alternating between deep-sleep, light-sleep and REM-sleep. Studies have proved that the stage of the cycle from which you’re jolted awake has an impact on how tired or fresh you feel, regardless of how many hours or how comfortably you slept. Unfortunately, no alarm was considerate enough to select the right moment to wake you up—that is, until the Axbo Alarm Clock came along. Using a comfortable towelling wristband, the clock gathers information about the sleep stage you’re in from your body movements. Simply set the alarm at the time you want to be woken and the Axbo will figure out the best time to ring within a 30 minute range, guaranteeing you’ll feel fresh in the morning.
