The Light Sleeper

Dark skies make it hard for many of us to get out from beneath the covers in the morning. Far more effective than that aroma alarm clock we wrote about to yesterday are alarm clocks that wake you with light. The good ones that simulate daybreaking cost a pretty penny and look like a big wooden box.  Nice, but there's not much gadget cool there (other than the price tag). The Light Sleeper is a set of pillows and a duvet that are lined with electroluminescent fibers woven into silk. The sheets and pillows simulate dawn by slowly glowing brighter and brighter (though for the first few minutes your bedroom will look something out of Tron), gently waking up heavy sleepers with an eventual 10,000 Lux of synthetic daylight.
