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 sieze/jump when I am awaken by a loud noise and I think that it effects my attitude at the begining of the day. I know other ways exist and in the end I think this total solution should intergrate 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 benifited 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 corolation between blue light and its absorbation into the eye.
