The clock uses an abstract and relative display of time, a setting moon and a rising sun, to communicateto children how much longer they need to remain in bed. Parents can program the setting and rising times to match the variability of the different morning routines such as weekdays and weekends. The intention is that by preventing children from unnecessarily disturbing their parents’ sleep, the parents will have an increased emotional reserve in order to more patiently address problems that occur during the morning rush.
