The objective is to reinvent the alarm clock into something that is more natural and effective. I do not know about you but the noise that my alarm clock makes is horrid. It is the worst way to wake up someone. Something like that jerks a person out of bed. I can feel my heart seize/jump when I am awaken by a loud noise and I think that it effects my attitude at the beginning of the day. I know other ways exist and in the end I think this total solution should integrate with an entire home automation system.
Lighting
I have seen various studies/displays on how effective light is at waking up a person and/or changing the metabolic systems of a person. The sun has been used to wake up humans for a long time. As time moved on we found many sources of light. Fire, candles, electric, etc and as a species we have benefited from the extra time we had to now improve ourselves and the things around us. One of the more recent things that I have heard about is blue light and lighting in general. The sun effects various means and processes that generate some of the regulating chemicals in our body.
Blue Light
One such process that has been found was a coloration between blue light and its absorption into the eye. I have heard both positive and negative effects from the studies on blue light and its effectiveness in waking us up and regulating our sleep schedules. Light in general has many effects on the body and has been shown to do different things to the body under its exposure.
