Yawning is not just a matter of one person, it will affect the people sitting around you, because yawning is easily contagious.
In this regard, there are two witty designers abroad who know this well. Based on this phenomenon, they designed an anti-human alarm clock—Slock: Go Sleep. Why is it said anti-human? Because the alarm clock we usually use is to wake people up, it is simple and rude and cannot be discussed!
But this alarm clock urges people to go to bed, and it starts beeping as soon as the time is up! In fact, this thing doesn’t have any black technology at all. It looks simple and the internal structure is not complicated. Compared with ordinary alarm clocks, it only has one more motor.
Some people may be curious about what the motor is used for? Where did the villain come from? Just look at the picture below
Unexpectedly, the yawning little man is actually made of paper! What designers take advantage of is simply the phenomenon of “persistence of vision.” The motor drives the flipping of paper with different pictures. When the speed is fast enough, the little man will yawn, just like the page-turning animation we played when we were children. At this time, the yawning sound effect is played simultaneously, and the sleep-inducing effect is evident!
And their design concept is also very special. Because modern people stay up late to sleep, they have to use alarm clocks to force themselves to get up every day. But what these designers consider is to let you go to bed early so that you can get up early ~ I give full marks to this wave of creativity!
