The glo Pillow is an alternative to the traditional alarm clock. It was designed Ian Walton and Eoin McNally in response to a brief to create a product which helps to combat the pressures of a “24 hour” lifestyle. The grid of LEDs begins to glow about 40 minutes before it’s set to wake you up. The idea is that a slow and gentle increase in light will bring you out of sleep more naturally and results in more healthy sleep/wake patterns. The glo Pillow is currently just a prototype, but it picked up one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2007 awards. [Talk2MyShirt]
