This $2500 Alarm Clock Helps You Sleep Better

by Evan Shamoon on October 5, 2007 at 08:17 AM



For those of us who really, really enjoy sleep but don't get enough of it, it feels like there's no price we wouldn't pay to make more with the sleepy, less with the wakey.

According to its manufacturer, Zyken, the NightCove alarm clock uses a "world of sound and light whose sole purpose is to improve your sleep" to get you in the mood for slumber. It claims the NightCove helps you fall asleep and wake up more naturally by regulating melatonin production in your brain (no mean feat), and encourages the body's phases of light sleep, deep sleep, and the fan-favorite, REM sleep.

Sounds like an awesome combination of ultimate human body/mind spiritual balance and Dark Side of the Moon night at the planetarium. Oh, and if you actually use it to stay awake, the NightCove can be integrated with your MP3 player, TV, computer...or whatever!

For $2500 though? Sounds like we'll never get to experience it.
