Question

【题目】 Are you angry about the noise of your alarm clock every morning? Still feel sleepy after getting up? Now, you can say goodbye to that annoying alarm clock, and you needn’t hear its unpleasant noise every morning.

The Glo Pillow(发光枕头) can wake you up with soft LED lights. They produce the soft light over 40 minutes just like the sunrise.

The pillow is taking the place of the traditional alarm clock. It was designed by Eoin McNally and Ian Walton to be against the pressure of a “24 hour” lifestyle.

The pillow uses a kind of LED material below the surface. It wakes the user up with light. The material can also show the time on the pillow’s surface, and it is perfect for those who sleep with their heads completely buried face down into the pillow. Forty minutes before the pre-set(预设) alarm time, the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep. The natural waking process helps to set “body clock” and makes people build a healthy sleep-and-wake habit slowly.
