아내 위해 만든 마크 저커버그의 '슬립박스'

사전 주문 받아

올해 초 페이스북의 창업자 마크 저커버그는 아내의 수면 사이클을 개선하기 위한 영리한 작은 발명품을 고안했다. 단순히 '슬립박스'라고만 불리는 저커버그의 나무 입방체에는 언제 뜨고 빛날 때가 됐는지 은은하게 알려주는 희미한 빛이 그려져 있다. 그의 작품을 인스타그램 청중들과 공유한 후, 그는 열성적인 기업가들을 초대하여 그의 아이디어를 기반으로 하여 이제 대중들이 곧 "잠자는 상자"가 출시될 것으로 보인다.

Greg Hovanisan에 의해 디자인되고 기념적으로 Zucklight라고 불리는 이 재해석은 원래의 상자의 모양, 느낌, 기능을 유지한다. 주커버그의 원형처럼 주크라이트는 "밤의 특정 기간 동안 특정 색상의 희미한 빛을 발산해 다시 잠들 수 있는지, 아니면 깨어날 때인지 알린다"고 주크라이트의 팀인 프리미어 일렉트로닉스는 보도자료를 통해 밝혔다. "깨어 있는 시간은 빛나는 빛의 시간이다."

Earlier this year, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg came up with a clever little invention to improve his wife’s sleep cycle. Simply called a “sleep box,” Zuckerberg’s wooden cube features a faint light that gently indicates when it’s time to rise and shine. After sharing his work with his Instagram audience, he invited eager entrepreneurs to build upon his idea—and, now, it seems a “sleep box” for the masses will soon be on the market.

Designed by Greg Hovanisyan and commemoratively called a Zucklight, this reinterpretation retains the look, feel, and function of the original box. Like Zuckerberg’s prototype, the Zucklight “emits a faint light of a certain color during specific periods of the night to notify whether you can go back to sleep or it’s time to wake up,” says Premiere Electronics, the team behind the Zucklight, in a press release. “The wake-up time is the glowing light time.”

Fittingly, Premiere Electronics has opted to put a high-tech spin on the simple sleep box. Using an app, users are able to set a schedule for the lights, whose color scheme and level of brightness can also be adjusted. On top of the illumination, users can also choose the design of the box itself, which comes in a trio of colors: White Aspen, Light Oak, and Mahogany.

As if those personalization options aren’t enough, the new and improved sleep light is available as three models: the Zucklight Lite, which has the light glowing and illumination option; the Zucklight Plus, which comes with a wireless charger; and the Zucklight Pro, which comes with sensors that read and display temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels.

These customization capabilities ensure that the Zucklight will be totally in tune with your sleep needs and your aesthetic preferences—a sweet dream come true!

Currently, the Zucklight is available for pre-order on Kickstarter. So far, it’s received roughly $50,000 in pledges from over 1,000 backers who will receive Zucklight Lite ($29), the Zucklight Plus ($39), or a Zucklight Pro ($89) this November. With each tier currently at 50% off, now is the time to pre-order your own little box!

Inspired by Mark Zuckerberg’s “sleep box” prototype, Greg Hovanisyan of Premiere Electronics has designed the Zucklight.
