Glowy

If you're bored, or just want something to distract you for 10 minutes or so, have a look at the TIME's compilation of the Best Inventions of the Year. Cool stuff.

I'm still browsing, but so far one of my favourites has to be this: the glo Pillow.

Most people hate their alarm clock. That's why Eoin McNally and Ian Walton created the glo Pillow. Embedded with a grid of LEDs, it uses nothing but light to wake you up. About 40 min. before reveille, the programmable foam pillow starts glowing, gradually becoming brighter, to simulate a natural sunrise. This helps set your circadian rhythm and ease you into the day.

Impressive, very impressive. Though it might seem weird lying your head on LEDs, having light instead of sound waking me up sounds tempting.
