Did I possibly make you yawn?! Just seeing the word sometimes is all we need to trick us into thinking we're 'sleepy'. Sometimes I wonder why do we within seconds of seeing someone else yawn get that alarming and contagious feeling and start to excessively yawn? The Slock was inspired by this contagious action, it's a Go Sleep clock that is a redesign of the traditional alarm clock with the opposite functionality.
Instead of having a clock that screams at you loudly to wake you up, it actually encourages you to go to bed at a good hour each night by making you yawn! I enjoy that it is a traditional analog clock and not digital, as digital devices typically keep us up. All you do is set your preferred bedtime and the built-in mechanical flip book will play an animated character yawning as an audio clip of a yawn plays as well. Just thinking about it makes me want to yawn, if it doesn't work and make your eyes heavy - what will! Now you will have a clock that will help you to go to sleep right next to your alarm clock app or the online clock you have saved in your bookmarks so you are ensured to go to bed at a decent time and wake up on time too.
