Zen Clocks by Now & Zen
It would be nice if we could wake up every morning without an alarm. We fall asleep gradually, and it seems only natural that a gentle awakening is best for our physical and mental well-being. Some people wake up naturally at the same time every morning without any outside stimulus. But for most of us, an alarm clock is essential. The natural desire for a gradual awakening accounts for the popularity of “snooze buttons” on alarm clocks. But even the minimal effort required to push a snooze button can disrupt the experience of waking up gradually.
Gentle Awakening
The benefits of a more natural “progressive awakening” include better dream recall, prolonged alpha brain wave activity (in which you can make powerful suggestions to your preconscious mind), as well as a general feeling of being refreshed after a good night’s rest.
Well-being
The Zen Alarm Clock’s chime strikes become gradually more frequent over a ten minute period. The chimes progress according to a “golden ratio progression,” which is an ancient formula of sacred geometry used as a formula for beauty and harmony.
