The aXbo works via sensors contained in a comfortable toweling wrist-strap worn during sleep. These monitor the movements of the wearer while they sleep and this information is then used to wake them at the most appropriate time of their sleep cycle.

Using a sensor fitted into a wristband that is worn by the user, the aXBo actively monitors the user’s natural sleep patterns via a unique wake-up algorithm from a point 30 minutes prior to the time the alarm has been set to operate. During this period it monitors your sleep pattern and then determines when is the best time to wake you with the least impact.

Interestingly for an alarm clock, the aXBo also offers a mode that will assist you in falling to sleep by playing one of three melodies and, as a result of the wristband sensor it will cease the melody once it has determined that you are sound asleep.
