Waking up in the morning with the help of an alarm would
have become a habit of almost everyone. But the bad habit of most alarm users
is pressing the snooze button when the alarm rings. As a result, the alarm
function often becomes useless because we tend to stalling.
According to a startup named Pavlok, the vibration and sound
are not enough to make someone wake up and getting out of bed. To that end,
they develop a device called Shock Clock that's assigned to electrocute the
user's wrist in the morning.
The electricity flow given certainly won't feel too painful,
but it's enough to make user realize that it is the time to wake up and get
ready to do a productive day.
To use this device you need a companion app on Android or
iOS devices, not only to determine the waking hours, but also to determine how
to wake you up. You can choose one of these forms: vibration, voice, or
instantly electrocuted.
Or if you want a more effective way, you can use three of
them, the alarm will use the vibration first, and then issue a voice, and
finally shock you. To turn off the alarm, you can simply press the button on
the Shock Clock for a few seconds.
So what if you fall asleep again?
Don't worry because this alarm is equipped with Snooze Lock
feature. Simply put, Shock Clock is equipped with motion recognition sensor, so
it could know when you go back to sleep, and the alarm will be active again,
and electrocute you again. In other words, after waking up you are asked to
stand and walk.
The goal that wants to be achieved by Pavlok through Shock
Clock is forming a habit of wake up on time. So you don't have to wait to be
shocked first to wake up in the morning. Maybe in the third or fourth day, you
can directly move from the bed when you are shocked by the Shock Clock.
Pavlok Shock Clock is currently offered via Indiegogo and
consumers can choose five color options: black, gray, blue, red and pink.
