Zyken Night Cove Alarm Clock

Hypnotic purple, blue, red, and golden lights shine forth from Zyken's unusual Night Cove alarm clock, a gadget which doesn't look like a time keeper at all, but rather a minimalist lamp or second cousin of H.A.L. Insomniacs are meant to be enraptured by the Cove's intuitive high-tech features: rotating hues of various wavelengths, tailored to help you fall asleep quickly and comfortably, and what Zyken deems a "sound universe" of soothing noises - adult lullabies that sync with your metabolism to build up energy reserves for morning. $2,500 will buy you a night of supposedly uninterrupted, blissful sleep, thus prompting the question: can you put a pricetag on quality R&R? 12.20.2007
