Wake up to a little sunshine in the 'Cuse cold



Tired of waking up to cold, grey mornings?

Me too.

As a native San Diegan, I miss rousing to the sun hitting my face and its warmth luring me out of bed.

Instead, here in Central New York, I'm usually curled in a ball fighting myself to get out of bed and face the coldy.

A solution: the Remy blanket.

It imitates sunlight rays to slowly wake you up 10 minutes before you need to wake up.

The blanket is connected to an alarm that triggers the sunlight to start rising you out of your REM cycle after you set your desired - or needed - time to rise.

But that's not all.

The blanket also tapes your sleep patterns.

The alarm device starts taping you, so you can see how restful your slumber is.







A little creepy, but perhaps useful?

Maybe useful for taping things other than just sleep ... Paris.
