Now There's a Smart Pillow That Wakes You Up Gently

Imagine waking up one morning, feeling refreshed, like you just got the best rest of your life. Hard to imagine that, right? Most of us stumble out of bed and to the nearest thing with caffeine, hoping it'll make us feel halfway human.

If only our pillows could help us wake up more naturally, instead of a blaring alarm on our phones that we constantly put on "snooze".

Wait, there might be a solution for that! I was on Twitter one day when I came across the Sunrise Smart Pillow, currently being developed by Mode Modern. (Check out their Kickstarter.) Touted to be the first ever "smart pillow", it's supposed to bring a better way of falling asleep and waking up.

Here's the how:

It comes with an impressive 18 features including:

• Sleep Tracker
• Smart Alarm
• Sunrise Alarm
• Wireless Music
• Fan Sounds
• Blue Light Technology
• Deep Sleep Mode
• Custom Wake Messages
• Sound Conditioner
• Audio books
• Directional Speakers
• Binaural Beats
• Reading Lights
• Breathable Fabric
• Premium Memory Foam
• Ergonomic Support
• Cooling Technology

Using Bluetooth and technology,  the lights this smart pillow sports wake you up when it’s time. All you have to do is set it up on their mobile app.

The pillow also incorporates a gyroscope and accelerometer to monitor how often you toss and turn. Need guided meditation? Yep, it has that, too. 

To say that this packs more gadgets than Iron Man's suit is an understatement.

You can pre-order the Sunrise Smart Pillow on Indiegogo starting at $129.

We'll wait to see the reviews on the Sunrise Smart Pillow before we decide if it's worth giving up our favorite $10 pillows from Walmart.
