the feature i like best how it knows when to wake you up. for example, i take powernaps often, and i learned that in my psych class, its never good if you nap for past 20min because then u will feel unrefreshed. but using this, it will tell u when to wake up from the nap without you being in REM sleep, which will help u feel refreshed and energized. Since im going to college in 6 days, this would be a very good alarm clock.

I would say the best feature is also the most integral, which is waking you up during the right sleep phase. I have an incredibly erratic sleep "schedule" and I find that I'm very hit or miss as far as not being fatigued on waking, even after 8 hours. I've been eyeing the aXbo for a while. It would be great to not be late to work everyday. I've only been able to hold the jobs I've had because I tend to get very good at what I do, so they look past the punctuality issues. I would love, LOVE to win one of these!

The feature I'm looking for as best: Waking up feeling rested without that "beautiful" morning face, and avoid the strange looks and questions I get for the bloodshot red eyes that denounces my sudden wake up in the middle of my dreams... something I just had to face half an hour ago. Oh, thanks for the contest guys! I usually don't take part in those, but if aXbo does everything it promises too, it's ironically the alarm clock of my dreams. xD

The feature I like best: Obviously the feature that wakes you up in the best sleep phase is the most innovating about the aXbo. This is however the feature that most of us is going to mention, so I'm going to try to be more creative and say the lack of a snooze button is without a doubt the best function! My current alarm clock has a fixed snooze time of 20min, which made me miss classes more than I ectually wanted to (by pressing the button more than once :)). Therefore I hope the shrill sound of the aXbo after 15 minutes will get my ass out of bed and into class in the future.

Well to start off the feature I like the best would be that the aXbo has the ability to learn my sleeping pattern, as well I also really like the power nap function. Since im going back to school in a few weeks, getting the most out of my sleep would be amazing. As well being able to power nap without having to worrie about missing class since my only means of an alarm clock in my cell phone and that has ended up halfway across the room a few times.

The feature i like the best? Easy, this awesome alarm clock is not only able to wakes you up during the right sleep phase, it can learn your sleeping pattern for the perfect wake up time!! I'm a student in electrical engineering and I'm also voluntary working on an AUV project. It make my level of stress high so when I go to bed, it often take me more than 1 hour to fall asleep. The effect is a smaller night and it become very hard to wake up normally. Sometimes, I even don't hear my alarm clock because I'm in a medium or deep sleep, I assume. The alarm clock also have a fall asleep modus and that make the aXbo alarm clock, the perfect kickass gadget for me :)

What do I like best? The name! aXbo sounds like an axe-wielding martial arts aerobics class. Now THAT'S gonna wake you up in the morning! Why do I need an aXbo clock? To "aXbo chop" my sleep patterns into submission. No more worrying about waking up tired! No sir, from now on I'll be waking up ready to kick some butt and take names!

This will be my first ever comment here. Usually I just sit back and read the articles. When I saw the post this morning that I could win one, I just HAD to give it a shot. I've been reading about the AXBO for some time, and if a device can really get me up refreshed like how I was back in grade school, it would be the miracle of all devices. Other than food, I believe waking up on the RIGHT side of the bed is probably the key component in having a good day. Unfortunately I can't just name that as the one feature I like about it, because their modern design is great as well. I would definitely not be ashamed to have this on display for everyone to see.

Just the ability to be able to wake up not feeling tired, i have a very busy school schedual and usually only get about 4 to 5 hourse of sleep, so i am constantly in a light sleeping mode, i think that this would really help me out, especially compared to the loud annoying buzzer of the alarm i have now.

The feature I liked best about the AXBO clock (aside from the name) is it's ability to offer you a prime wake-up time. I'm a college student with early classes in the morning and then I work at night, it is hard enough for me to go to sleep much less wake-up, and when I do I feel drained of energy from the beginning of the day. Hence the optimal wake-up time on this alarm clock is just right for me, offering the smoothest possible wake-up opposed to the quick and jarring wake-up of my current bell style alarm clocks ( I have two). I would appreciate the clock more than most.

When I wake up in the morning, I really notice that sometimes I wake up very easily and sometimes it is really hard to wake up. When its easy, I even wake up before I have to. This is exactly why I would like the aXbo clock, it wakes you up exactly when it is best for your body to wake up. It will always be easy to wake up and feel rested! That feeling is practically a dream come true!

The feature I like the most will be the excuse I can give my professors when I'm late to my 8 am class: "Dr. No-Name, I was late because my alarm clock thought it wasn't a good time to wake me up at 7:30."

The feature I like most is the fact that it can wake you up at the best time meaning that you will feel better at the same amount of sleep. And also knowing that I read a review of it on TechEBlog. The reason I'll need it is because I'll be taking 3 AP courses (college courses for high schoolers) next year along with 3 other classes. I doubt I'll be getting the amount of sleep I need so, having an aXbo to wake me up at the right time will make it a wee bit more survivable. Thanks for the chance!

College+PreMed+Music Minor = That is why I like this clock. My first class of the day ranges from 9 am to 2pm and the time I go to bed ranges from 11pm to 4am. In these days of little or no set daily routine, I hope to find sleep more enjoyable if I wake up at the perfect time. And not to be a suck up, but one of my daily routines is checking TechEBlog, almost religiously for 3 years...and I finally got an account! Everyday I want to get up on the RIGHT side of the bed! Besides its sleek design, the clock is perfect for those late night, studyholic maniacs!

The feature that I like the most is when it tells you the best time for you to wake up, but not with an annoying beeping noise. It would be good for me because it would make it easier getting up in the morning and starting my day. I think I would feel more well rested using this clock.

I'd say the best feature, is that it wakes you up. And I need it because I need to wake up.

The thing I like about it most is the peace of mind that the aXbo gives me. The aXbo makes me feel confident that I will wake up refreshed in the morning, and that always helps me get more sleep at night. Currently I lay awake at night worrying about the next morning's grind, and I set an extra early alarm just so I can snooze it a million times before I get out of bed. But with the aXbo, I can rest assured that it will wake me up when my mind and body are ready to start the day. You can't put a price on that kind of stress relief!

My alarm clock just recently broke because I accidentally knocked it off of my night stand in my semi-awake state, so I undoubtedly need a new one. I think I like the idea of the wristband motion sensors the most, because this is not the first time I have hit my alarm clock accidentally.

My wife can not endure my bad mood anymore because I wake up during the wrong sleep phase every morning. It'll save my marriage and my life !

The feature I enjoy most about the aXbo is that it has a Power nap mode. I have narcolepsy and because of this I have missed many things due to attendance and gone through countless jobs because of being late or just not showing up. It's innovative design to determine what phase of sleep I am in will help greatly with this. If I obtain an aXbo through this contest I will hopefully not lose a job for the same previous reasons as I am currently unemployed because of my sleep disorder and also I will be able to nap normally. Usually when I say I'm taking a nap I sleep for countless hours forfeiting any plans I had made for later in the day this clock will help me get on a routine sleep schedule. If this product really works it's the greatest thing ever invented!

Life is fairly awesome. I'd quite like to be awake for it. Ordinary alarm clocks stop me sleeping, but never truly wake me. The aXbo would wake me only when my brain's ready to be woken. I can't imagine any better way.

It isn't me who needs this, it's my wife. She has had trouble with sleeping and it seems as though she really gets deep sleep about an hour and a half before she wakes up and then in the middle of it. BZZ. BZZ. BZZ. Snooze. BZZ. BZZ. BZZ. Snooze. BZZ. BZZ. BZZ. I have to listen to it for the next 30 minutes. To boot she is crabby from the alarm and tired for the day. So this would be greatly helpful to both my wife and myself.

Well, most people know that college students often don't get enough sleep. And ever since moving into my new apartment, the sleep I've been getting is just horrible. The large window in my room is on the east side, so every morning the sun will come out bright and early and just shine through the entire room - even blinds don't do a thing! So I often find myself squirming around, half-awake, half-asleep, trying to at least pretend that I'm getting some more rest before class starts. The simple fact is, that, this seems to make me tired and grumpy more than it does make me feel refreshed when I finally get out of bed. The fact that this clock could wake me up when my brain is ready to be woken up, and not just when I want to be, is amazing! It gives you the confidence that you will be woken up at the correct time, and that you will be in a good mood when you do. Just for the sheer amount I love sleep, there is no one that needs this clock more!!!

Everyone around the House and Especially work will love it once i have one of these. So many times you find yourself waking up in a deep sleep and get very cranky. This will help me deal with costumers and family in a wide awake, happy and pleasant fashion. Thanks !
