These days, it seems that an alarm clock can’t just make a noise at a given time in order to wake us up. We sleep too deeply, and in too comfortable beds to just pop right up and into our slacks when we hear a set of chimes.
A new app for Android called “Sleep If U Can” solves this modern problem in a creative way. It’s an alarm clock that will not stop ringing until you are physically out of bed, at a location in your home, taking a photo of a given item.
如今,鬧鐘在某個特定時間點制造噪聲讓我們醒過來的作用好像不太靠譜了。我們睡得很沉,床又太舒服,根本不可能一聽到鬧鈴聲就從床上蹦起來穿衣服。
一款名叫“睡得下去你就繼續(xù)睡”的安卓應用以創(chuàng)新的方式解決了這個難題。這是一款鬧鐘,它只有在你從床上爬起來,在家中某個位置給特定的物品拍張照片后,才會不響了。
Here’s how it works: When you first download the app, Sleep If U Can asks you to photograph a bunch of different locations or items in your home. Locations or items, it is important to note, that are not so close to your bed that you can just roll over, snap a pic, and then collapse back onto your pillow.
Then, each time your alarm goes off afterwards, Sleep If U Can shows you a different photograph. Your alarm will keep sounding until you maneuver your sleepy carcass to that spot and take an identical picture with your smartphone.
Once the app detects a photographic match, the shrill alarm will cease, at which point you should be awake.
這款鬧鐘的工作原理是這樣的:你下載好應用,Sleep If U Can會要求你給家中各處的物品拍一堆照片。這里要說明的是,最好是那些離床比較遠的位置或物品,否則你翻身就能看到,拍完照片還能滾回床上抱著枕頭繼續(xù)睡。
然后,每次鬧鐘響起的時候,Sleep If U Can就會給你展示不同的照片,只有你拖著昏昏欲睡的步伐,走到相同的位置用手機拍攝一張相同的照片才行,否則鬧鐘會一直響下去。
一旦該應用判斷出照片相符,尖銳刺耳的鬧鈴就會停下來,不過這會兒你應該也已經(jīng)醒了。
