Introducing the Alarm Clock That Encourages a Few More Zs

The Snooze Struggle is Real

Alarm clocks have one job: to wake us up. But who doesn't crave a few extra minutes of sleep? With smartphones, hitting snooze is a breeze, but it comes with a cost. The very act of reaching for your phone can jolt you awake, defeating the purpose of a gentle rouse from slumber.

And while it's great at helping you snag some extra shut-eye, one has to wonder if we really need a device that's all about promoting extra sleep when it's time to rise and shine.
