Smart alarm clock promises to regulate your sleep patterns

A new Kickstarter project introduces a smart alarm clock built to help regularize sleeping patterns. It doesn’t focus on tracking your actual sleeping time but more on helping you establish better sleeping habits. Kello only gives you a number of snooze hits per week and once you’ve reached this, you can’t silence the alarm without completely turning it off. The smart clock can even trigger other Wi-Fi-connected devices and have all the notifications pour into your devices once you hit snooze or even turn on the light if you’ve hit your snooze quota.

Aside from lessening your reliance on the snooze button, Kello also has a built-in breathing exercise program to help you fall asleep faster. The process is guided by lights and lasts around 20 minutes or so. You can control this mode and all the other settings of the clock via its companion iOS and Android app. The Kello is expected to ship by March 2017, but this is Kickstarter so you have to be wary, too.
