The alarm clock is a specific clock, designed to awaken a person at a predetermined time. The main function of an alarm clock is to awaken people from sleep, as well as short naps, and can also be utilized as a reminder device. While many alarm clocks utilize sound as a means to achieve disruption, others can use lights. Other—newer—alarm clocks can be rigged to roll around the room, or even fly above the sleeper’s body, in order to make the sleeper engage physical activity that will awaken them. Other, newer, alarm clocks use sensors to determine a person’s sleep schedule, and will avoid waking them during a deeper sleep cycle. By awakening an individual during a light sleep stage, they will wake up more refreshed, and less groggy.
