AlArm
Wrist-strap alarm unit. Individual wake-up regime. | |
The AlArm clock is a fairly standard Alarm clock (with multiple wake-up times, snooze etc) - but with a number of wireless wrist straps. The wrist-straps are 2-way, and can also signal snooze and alarm cancel commands too.
Each wrist strap comes fitted with a small electric motor (as used to signal
silent/vibrate on mobile phones) and it's own individual (programmable) wake-up regime.
Set the AlArm clock for the desired wake-up times, and put on your personal wrist band, before going to sleep.
Ideal if there're 2 (or more) people in a bed, each one having to wake up at their own desired time, without disturbing the other(s).
here's one for $148.00 USD

A wristwatch with an option for vibrating alarms (and multi-alarm setting for e.g. people who have to take medication.) No need for a central base station! [jutta, Jun 01 2006]

The Australian version would be an OI!Arm Clock |
|
| |
nothing to do with Ala then. |
|
| |
Ankle versions could be interesting. |

Or you could sleep with your mobile phone in the pocket of your jim-jams.

This is really good. I needlessly woke my other half up at 06:00 this morning. |

[xandram] linky - That's probably what set me off. I was thinking of something simpler and more reasonable... Though it would be nice to be awoken gently and at your body-clock's most appropriate time, most people just want to be awoken at a desired time, without disturbing thier partners. |

[miasere] Yes, very similar. Sorry, I didn't find it when I searched. |

I saw something like this in the 1967
spy film spoof "In Like Flint." James
Coburn is sleeping prone between the
edges of two chairs at his head and feet
with his arms crossed like a vampire.
He is awoken by his wristwatch alarm,
two thin shafts with little balls at the
tips that extend out from the dial face
and gently rock back and forth tapping
on his wrist. |
|
| |
I also own a gadget called the "Snore
Stopper" worn on the wrist while
sleeping that administers gradually
more intense electric shocks triggered
by the sound of loud and regular breath
snorts. I tested it and was unimpressed
with its "therapy by torture" design. |
|

I remember the flint watch - Re-started his pulse, or something... |
|
| |
Weren't there digital watches in the 'eighties with a little blunt metal rod in the back, which gently vibrated against your wrist? |
|
| |
Sleeptracker watch (first link): I _so_ had exactly that idea over a year ago. If I weren't so lazy I'd be rich by now. But what are you going to do? (Thinks: considering recent postings, is someone going to suggest a rhetorical question mark? Not me, no fear.) |

So, nothing to do with metallic prosthetic upper limbs then? |
