WHY YOU
FAIL
EVERY
MORNING.
The fundamental flaw in alarm clock design is simple: they're too easy to ignore.
The Snooze Problem
Every time you hit snooze, you're fragmenting your sleep cycle, making yourself more tired and less alert. It's a vicious cycle that ruins your morning.
"I've hit snooze so many times that I've been late to important meetings. It's embarrassing and stressful."
— Michael T., Former Oversleeper
The Habit Loop
Your brain has been trained to associate the alarm sound with the relief of hitting snooze, creating a harmful cycle that's nearly impossible to break with willpower alone.
"I don't even remember turning off my alarm most mornings. It's like my body is on autopilot."
— Sarah K., Heavy Sleeper
The Willpower Myth
Relying on willpower when you're half-asleep is a losing strategy. Your groggy brain will always choose more sleep over responsibility.
"No matter how important the day is, my sleepy brain always convinces me that 'five more minutes' won't hurt."
— James L., Night Shift Worker
HOW
AWAKEUP
FORCES
YOU UP.
AwakeUp uses a revolutionary three-phase approach that guarantees you'll wake up – no matter how tired you are.
Gentle Phase
Your day begins with 60 seconds of customized music at a reasonable volume. This is your chance to wake up peacefully.
"The gentle music is a nice touch. It gives you a chance to wake up like a normal human being."
— Early Tester
Multi-Point NFC Challenge
During these 60 seconds, you must scan multiple NFC cards placed throughout your home to stop the alarm. Each AwakeUp comes with 3 NFC cards that you can place in your bathroom, kitchen, or anywhere else.
"Having to walk to different rooms to scan all the cards means I'm fully awake by the time I'm done. It's impossible to go back to bed."
— Early Tester
Brutal Phase
If you don't scan all NFC cards within 60 seconds, the 120dB buzzer kicks in with no mercy, ensuring you cannot continue sleeping. The buzzer will not stop until all cards are scanned.
"Trust me, you do NOT want to experience the brutal phase more than once. It's effective, to say the least."
— Early Tester
BRUTAL
EFFICIENCY.

Each AwakeUp is meticulously crafted from premium hardwood, hand-selected for its grain pattern and durability. The elegant design conceals powerful technology within.

PEOPLE WHO
FINALLY WAKE UP
Don't just take our word for it. Hear from real people who have transformed their mornings with AwakeUp.
"After years of being chronically late and blaming it on being a 'night owl,' AwakeUp has completely changed my life. I'm up at 6am every day now and have even started a morning workout routine."
Emily Richardson
Marketing Director, Previously 30 Min Late
"As someone who could sleep through a freight train, I was skeptical. But the first time that 100dB buzzer went off, I was up and scanning cards within seconds. Haven't heard it since the first day - the gentle phase is enough now!"
David Chen
Software Engineer, Heavy Sleeper
"I bought AwakeUp for my teenager who was constantly missing first period. After a week of actually getting to school on time, his grades have already improved. Worth every penny."

FAQ
How many NFC cards come with each AwakeUp?
The Early Bird package comes with 3 NFC cards, the Kickstarter Exclusive comes with 5 NFC cards, and the Duo Pack includes 8 NFC cards (4 per clock). You can place these cards throughout your home to create a wake-up journey that forces you to get moving.
How loud is the "brutal phase" buzzer?
The brutal phase buzzer operates at 120dB, which is approximately as loud as a rock concert or a car horn at close range. It's designed to be impossible to sleep through, even for the heaviest sleepers.
Can I customize the gentle phase music?
Yes! AwakeUp connects to your phone via Bluetooth, allowing you to select any music or sound for the gentle phase. You can choose from our library of wake-up sounds or use your own music.
What if I lose an NFC card?
AwakeUp comes with a simple app that allows you to pair new NFC cards if you lose one. Additionally, replacement NFC card packs will be available for purchase after the Kickstarter campaign.
Does AwakeUp require batteries?
AwakeUp has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 days on standby. It also comes with a USB-C charging cable and can be plugged in permanently if preferred.
What if I have roommates or a partner who wakes up at different times?
AwakeUp is designed with this in mind. The gentle phase is customizable in volume, and the NFC cards are uniquely paired to your specific AwakeUp. This means multiple AwakeUps can be used in the same household without interference.
Is there a way to turn off AwakeUp in case of emergency or on days off?
Yes, you set the countdown every night. Don't need to wake up next day at any given time? Don't set it. Simple as that.
