Zen Alarm Clock

About Alarm Clocks

Zen alarm clocks present an ideal alternative to harsh bells and ring tones of traditional alarm clocks. Waking up in the morning can be a challenge for many people, and while allowing the body to awaken naturally is the best way to wake, for many people this is just not feasible. For many reasons we have to wake up before our body is ready. This might be simply because of a busy schedule, to meet work commitments or perhaps to attend a special meeting. Some people require waking because their body clocks are slightly out of synchronization or they are not 'morning people'.

Traditionally the method of waking up is a loud alarm. The alarm instantly forces a sleeper awake, harshly breaking into1 dreams and slumber. Other types of alarm clock are the sunrise alarm clock and the voice alarm clock. The principle of the Zen alarm clock is to awaken people naturally, using natural noises.

How Zen Clocks Work

Zen alarms work in a different way to the traditional alarm clock. Rather than having a bell or digital tone, radio or other method of alarm, the Zen clock uses 'E tone' chimes. These chimes have been hand tuned using tuning forks. These forks have long been used by professional musicians and music therapists to accurately create musical pitch. This ancient tradition is used within the Zen alarm clock to ensure that a true E tone is created.

Unlike traditional alarm clocks, the Zen clock comes complete with a 40 page booklet that explains the principles of the clock and how it can be used to its best effect. This useful booklet contains information about the golden ratio theory that the alarm clocks use. The clocks have a one year warranty and come complete with a 30 day money back guarantee.

Zen clocks are battery powered and 4 'c' batteries will power the clock for approximately two years when used every day. Battery powered clocks are useful for moving around the house as they are not reliant on cables or power sockets. This means that they are ideal for other purposes other than just waking people up in the morning. They could be used, for instance, as timers or reminders. Battery powered clocks are also ideal for traveling as they do not need a power supply and if someone is traveling out of the country there is no worry about buying adapter plugs or transformers.

Buying a Zen Alarm Clock

These alarm clocks make great gifts as well as being a useful item for people looking for an alternative alarm style. The clocks are more expensive than many general purpose alarm clocks and here are a few tips to help make the perfect purchase:
