Designer named Taylor Franklin Hide has come up with an excellent way to wake up a person who’ve been accustomed to wearing a sleep mask when sleeping. The conventional sleep mask do nothing but closing your eyes so you can sleep even the light is on. Of course, thanks to the mask, you are unable to decide when the morning will come.

Taylor with his LUMI Sleep mask gives you the idea even your eyes have been enclosed with the sleep mask. The LUMI sleep mask is a special one because it has an embedded lighting effect to let you know when you should wake up. Before getting into the bed, you can set the wake-up time on the alarm controller, and when the alarm goes off in the morning, the sleep mak will glow from inside, give you the clue that the morning has come.

If you set the alarm on 6 o’clock, LUMI sleep mask will gradually lighten up at 5:30. If you are not aware of the light, it also has an alarm sounds at the end of the light effect, which is exactly on 6 o’clock.

If you are interested, LUMI Sleep Mask is currently available for $79.95 at LUMI Mask.

Designers keeps coming up with weird clock designs that try to keep our ass of our bed once the time has up. We have seen many alarm clock design in the past, some designs remained designs but some have become real products, too. Now here is a new alarm clock called IQ Alarm, which I think it’s too cool to be true to make sure that we won’t back to sleep once the alarm goes off.

IQ Alarm Clock is a special digital clock with large display like a tablet. But what’s make it special is not the display, it is the system inside.

Normally, an alarm clock should have snooze button, but IQ Alarm clock has no such thing. When the alarm goes off, you must solve 3 tricky IQ test questions before you can stop the screams. Now, after solve puzzle and question, I guess there is no way that we can go back to sleep again as our head has been cleared from the sleepiness. Wonderful.

This Anti-theft alarm has been equipped with motion detection to detect movement around the bicycle.

Its code name is iMM183 with the dual dock station as the strong point of this series. Beside dual docking system, iLuv iMM183 also have built-in a whether alerts and alarm clock. FM radio also available in case you want to enjoy your local radio station. I also has supprt for weather text alerts from SAME or NOAA that will come through on radio channels preset.

Personally, I love that sleek glossy black color with the white backlight shine out from the display. Well, although it’s cool looking, I’m not sure about how is the sound quality when tuning our favorite songs. It should be on some good level of sound quality since it’s from iLuv.
