The silent alarm and sleep monitorPart hardware, part iPhone app; this advanced monitoring system not only wakes you silently, but it’ll also give you handy stats on your sleep patterns and advise how to get more from your down time.

Just strap on the Sure-Thing wrist band and set your alarm using the free-to-download iPhone app. When it’s time to wake up, the wrist strap will vibrate gently, getting steadily heavier until you acknowledge it. And even if the worst should happen and the batteries die in the night, your iPhone is programmed to give you an audio cue if you oversleep.

But the wrist strap is more than just an alarm clock....

Over the course of the night it’ll monitor your movement – giving you feedback via your iPhone the following morning on how restless you have been, when you were sleeping most deeply and more. Over time the Lark system will even coach you into a more restful sleeping pattern – helping you to get the most out of your sleepy time and be more productive by day.
