WakeMeUp: Weight Dependent Intelligent and Robust Alarm System Using Load Cells.

Race of having better life and living standards are the major cause of sleep deprivation, depression and irritating behaviours. Indulging in such competitions yield in imbalance between rest and study/office hours. Sleeping late due to tough routine usually results in waking up late the following morning, and will also affect working schedules along personal and professional commitments. Once the sleep time is determined which varies from person to person (different age groups), an alarm system can be synced with daily schedule. People tend to use a variety of alarm systems available in market, but they are not smart enough to achieve their prime objective. i.e. waking up the concerned individual. This paper aims to propose a smart solution to accomplish its objective by: (1) Monitoring weight of individual on the bed, (2) Alerting at pre-set alarm time and (3) Powering ON vibrating motors and DC light. If the sensed weight exceeds the specified threshold at alarm time, the alarm, vibrating motors and DC light will activate to operate. To switch the alarm OFF, the sensed weight must be less than threshold, i.e. the individual needs to be out of bed. The proposed system has been validated on a number of actual test cases and achieved upto 95% accuracy and efficiency.
