Waking up in the morning without disturbing the person sleeping next to you is usually a pretty tricky process, but it seems that the people over at LARK Technologies might have come up with a pretty nice solution to this problem in the form of the LARK Up, a device that will make sure that the user wakes up, while not significantly disturbing the other person's sleep.
LARK Up wakes one person silently and peacefully using the iPhone and an innovative mobile accessory, the LARK wristband, allowing
consumers start their mornings right by providing a more natural and peaceful experience.
Users set the LARK Up mobile alarm application on the iPhone for the desired time and put it onto the custom bedside stand.
They then slip on the lightweight LARK Up wristband, designed specifically for nighttime use with breathable and comfortable fabric and no hard edges, buttons, clasps or screens.
When the alarm goes off in the morning, it emits a gentle but incredibly effective patented vibration that wakes users from all phases of sleep.
This light nudge awakens the Lark Up sleeper but allows loved ones to continue to sleep uninterrupted.
As a result of
experiencing wake up challenges in her own relationship, MIT student and LARK founder Julia Hu worked with a team of engineers and designers from Stanford and MIT and Harvard sleep expert, Dr. Jo Solet, to create LARK Up.
"Getting out of bed in the morning is never easy, but LARK Up takes some of the pain out of the process.
It provides healthy, restful mornings with a silent and natural wake-up that leaves you feeling amazing while your partner rests undisturbed," said Hu, CEO and founder, LARK Technologies, Inc.
The LARK Up sells for around $99 and can be pre-ordered starting right now, although you'll most likely have to wait until early 2011 in order to get your hands on the first shipped units.
