Glo Pillow

Waking up on a Monday morning really bites.  It is especially brutal if you have spent the previous weekend camping in near freezing weather – with rain.  But the mornings can be harsh with the typical alarm clock.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have your body awaken nicely?  That is what industrial designer Ian Walton is doing with his Glo Pillow.  Me wantie sleepie.

The idea is simple.  Light is a natural way to wake the body and set the circadian rhythm.  Ian’s innovative pillow allows you to set a sleep time using the controls on the side.  The pillow substrate is a 250 LUX light that can glow or show the time.  40 minutes before your wake up time, the Glo Pillow starts a slow illumination process that works your body into a wakeful state.  Better than the ole’ blaring alarm or cold water, huh!
