• Each person goes through various sleeping cycles during sleep.
• Each sleeping cycle, which lasts approx. 90 to 110 minutes, alternates with deep-sleep, light-sleep and REM-sleep.
• REM (Rapid Eye Movement) is the phase in which you dream. Sleep gets less deep towards the morning and REM phases get distinctly longer.
• There are also sleeping differences between the sexes. Women move more in their sleep but less intensive, whereas men move less but more intensive.
• Both REM and deep sleeping phases are marked by almost no movements. If you move from a deep sleeping phase into a REM-phase and from a REM-phase into a deep sleeping phase your body movements get more active.
  

• Two person clock aXbo: aXbo enables 2 people to use the clock individually for an optimal wake up call, because it has the ability to individually register and track the movements of 2 people.
• aXbo can learn: aXbo gets more attached to your person over time. It can learn from your very personal sleeping pattern and thus arrange for  the perfect wake up time for you.
• aXbo S-moove-Control: The first sleep phase alarm clock of the world has easy and clear handling features-you can even handle it with one hand. You navigate through the logical menu with a scroller (like a computer mouse).Thus you can enter your wake up time window fast and easy.
• aXbo fall asleep modus: You can choose between three melodies that will help you to calm down and fall asleep. You do not have to set a time for the melody to end playing because aXbo realises when you are asleep and ends the melody automatically.
• aXbo LCD-halfwaysleepmode: When you sleep the display light also turns off and is in halfwaysleepmode. On demand the light can be turned on via the wristband for a short period.
• aXbo battery operation with power disconnection: To avoid electromagnetic strains the electric circuit is going to be disconnected in some households. In this situation aXbo works trouble-free because it switches automatically from mains to battery operation.
• aXbo intelligent loading: aXbo comes with three loaded accumulators and is ready for use immediately. When the accus reach a certain low loading level they are automatically recharged which optimises the durability of the accus. You can also load the accus manually. Thus aXbo becomes an ideal travel companion. aXbo can be used without an electric plug in for 7 days.
• The obvious advantage over similar products like SleepTracker, is that the alarm won’t get muffled when you tuck your hands under the pillow. The aXbo also runs on mains and/or batteries, eliminating the problem of the alarm running out of juice in the middle of the night. And as a bonus, the aXbo also comes with 3 sleep-inducing melodies which automatically stop when aXbo notices that you’re asleep.
  

• It has been scientifically proven that body movements of human beings during sleep have a  direct connection to the different sleeping phases.
• aXbo registers the body movements via a sensor in a comfortable towelling wristband and transmits the data exclusively during the rare movements. During average 300 movements per night there results a total transmission period of only 3 seconds (0.01 seconds transmission period per movement).
• aXbo sends with extremely low capacity of 0.0001 Watt (comparison of a mobile transmitting power: average 1 Watt).
