Product designer Natalie has created an alarm clock designed to enhance your waking experience through improving your sleep rhythm.
Natalie’s unique clock contains two alarms that will signal each day; one morning and one evening alarm. Their purpose is to indicate to the user when to begin their sleep routine to improve quality and duration of sleep to at least 8 hours. Another feature of her product is the removal of the clock interface. Instead she displays pre-set morning alarms that will automatically set the corresponding evening alarm.
The product reflects that sleep is a natural process and as such is made from natural materials. The signal is mechanically created to imitate the sound of a woodpecker drumming against a tree making her clock distinct and unusual. Altering the woodpecker’s drumming is made possible by placing the selected beak against various surfaces and objects.
