Hitting the snooze button one time too many? The Pavlok Shock Clock, an innovative alarm clock, seeks to change this morning habit.
For many individuals who set an alarm the night before an early morning, hitting the snooze button is a common occurrence. This tends to carry over throughout the day as a general feeling of fatigue and frustration.
Usual alarm clocks operate by continuously sending out a noise signal until the user gets out of bed. Such a methodology perhaps contributes to a down mood given the bothersome nature of a repeated alarm.
The Pavlok Shock Clock is the first device of its kind that uses effective, tested sensory inputs to wake you up and keep you alert. It uses a mild electric zap to break bad morning habits
The clock, which comes up with an app and a wristband, is set up to be simple. One can use the app to choose from three stimuli: a beep, vibrate, and mild electric stimulus. Preferences are then saved. When the alarm goes off, the Shock Clock will alert you to wake up using the stimulus you selected. A beep or vibration to wake up, with a Zap if you don’t get up with the beep or vibrate, is considered to be the best by the creators, and the device itself has proven to help individuals with getting up in the morning.
The creators plan to add three new features to an updated version of the Pavlok device. First, they seek to add a snooze lock, which uses motion tracking to know when a user is out of bed, preventing any attempt to cheat the system. Pavlok additionally will let friends know if a user does not wake up and also gives them the option to zap you awake (if you give them permission through the app to do so). Finally, the inventors would like to add sleep cycle analysis.
