An Anti-Snooze Alarm Experiment

      Prototypes, Electronics





Do you have a habit of turning off the alarm and going back to sleep in the morning? Especially when you need to wake up at 5.30am in the morning to go to school or to work?

Do you ever find yourself waking up much later and ending up late for your appointment?

In this experiment, the alarm will only turn off after you tap it many, many times. By then, hopefully you are awake!

How might we help to change a habit of snoozing?

How about an alarm that only goes off when you walk to the light switch and turn on the lights? Or how about one that only switches off only when you walk out of your room?

What kind of alarm would help people to happily jump right out of bed in the morning?
