This Dock Swallows Your iPhone So You’re Less Tempted to Use it at Night

11 months ago by in Tech Tagged: ,

What little sleep we actually get these days should ideally be as distraction-free as possible. And that’s what inspired Douglas Wood to design the 夜間night* charging dock that not only hides your iPhone inside, but also annoys you whenever a notification pops up—encouraging you to just turn it off.

The Japanese characters in 夜間night* directly translate to ‘from dusk to dawn’ in english, which is how long Douglas hopes users of the dock will sleep. When your iPhone is placed inside, the hidden dock connector charges your phone, but also gives the bedside accessory access to when email or text message notifications arrive. And when they do, the dock’s soft soothing glow—which usually helps put you to sleep—starts intensely flashing, jerking you out of your peaceful slumber. At that point you can either respond to the message, or shut your phone off (or put it in airplane mode) which was Douglas’ ultimate goal with this design.

I have always been a tech enthusiast, to the point where i have become an addict. Tech to me is crack; Always trying to get my fix every chance i get ! I have always loved sharing anything that fascinates me which again most of the time is about tech related content. I used to share content on Google Reader Shared pages (google.com/reader/shared/surdie) but after their not so brilliant idea to shut it down i felt i needed a new platform where i could share and distribute content and thats how Nlyten.com came about. So keep reading and get Nlyten ed !
