It seems that my nightly waking period starting at 3:14am (known domestically as Pi time) may not be insomnia but a natural break in a bimodal sleep pattern that we have mostly forgotten.
This is a period during which I often have a torrent of new ideas. Today’s invention is therefore designed to ensure that I wake up at the right time and, in case I fall asleep without resetting it, again in the morning.
It’s an alarm clock with two settable alarm times: one at 03:14 and the other at, in my case, 06:00.
