Don't you hate the blaring sound of an alarm clock? I would prefer to wake up with the Light Sleeper, an illuminating, personalized alarm integrated into bedding that gently wakes in the most natural way. The bedding uses electroluminescent technology allowing traditional textile surfaces to become a reactive light source and simulate a natural dawn. Sounds pleasant right?
The brains behind the Light Sleeper is Loop.Ph, a design studio featured at the Inspired Design conference. Not only did they find a way to incorporate light into textiles, but also how to use light to power a textile. Like DigitalDawn - a reactive window blind with a surface that is in constant flux, growing in luminosity in response to its surroundings. It digitally emulates the process of photosynthesis, so the darker a space becomes the brighter the botanical pattern will glow.
I'm absolutely amazed by these designs. The ability to mix science, nature, technology and textiles is truly inspiring.

wow. i so want one. i despise my alarm clock!
Wow! I love this.
I want one! It would never wake up my husband but would work brilliantly for me (though my kids always, always wake me up).
Alarm clocks are definitely the stuff of nightmares, so this one is a much nicer alternative.
what an amazing idea, and it looks gorgeous too!
: )
Oh, this would be so much better than my alarm clock!
That is by far the coolest thing I have seen in a very long time! I DO hate waking up to a blaring alarm.......I've always thought that their was no other way :)
Wow! This is amazing!
wow!! this is breathtaking!
amazing!
maybe this would help me- i never hear my alarm clock!
So cool! Plus, love these images!

I've never seen anything like it! How cool!
Oh wow this is super cool. I want one!
This would be a much nicer way to wake up!
where in the world do you find such cool stuff? and isn't it incredible that there are people out there making things like this?? WOW.
Aren't people amazingly, wonderfully, inspiringly creative?! LOVE this!
that sounds like a dream--
and much better than the blaring of the smurfs' soundtrack in my clock. agh!
That's so pretty, I want to eat it.
i wonder if i could actually wake up to this...
Soo what I need! Wonderful...

For years I have had a Lumie bodyclock, which wakes you up naturally by simulating a sunrise - it is BRILLIANT, I can't deal with waking up without it.
great idea!
I seriously doubt that would wake me up, but it looks really neat!
I so want this! I hate waking up, so this would certainly make the experience more pleasant.
Love this idea. My cell phone is my alarm clock and an unkind one at that. Amazing inventive designers.
that is truly awesome!!
I've heard of this, not sure it would work for me though, I'm a pretty deep sleeper
Fantastic... I'd love one but would get as annoyed with it as any alarm clock..and that is quite a shame.
Yes, yes, I dislike alarm clock. Tks God, its spring-like days on us, no need it:)
The silent alarm clock will attempt to rouse you from your sleep without making an annoying sound like the usual noisy alarm clocks. When alarm goes off, you will feel the insistent vibration and hear the slight buzzing of the motor that helps towards waking you up gently.
Great series.
