Now this actually seems like a good idea... A clock that is supposed to wake you at the lightest point in your sleep cycles, keeping you from groggy wake-ups. You program it with the latest time that you want to wake up and it wakes you up at the lightest point in your sleep cycle closest to, but not exceeding that time by measuring your sleep cycles.

By the way, you have to copy/paste the link for it to work.

I'd still get annoyed with it not waking me up at the latest possible time. I am not a good morning person. wink

Oh, see, you had to go and ruin it by asking me things I don't know, didn't you?
Eh?

I have absolutely no idea.
Sorry.

You have to know a small bit of html to post images in comments: img src="the url" and enclose this in brackets. and close the tag.

Okay. It has to look like this:
<img src="http://inserturlhere">

This assumes that the image is on another server somewhere. You can't upload images into comments so that they'll be saved on my server.

NO! I was wrong. You don't close the img tag. What was I thinking?

(Winona, you have to write the brackets with ascii code, otherwise the browser is going to read them as html)
