Clover is a bedside lamp designed to help young adults regulate their sleep and build strong sleep hygiene. It achieves this through the use of timed visual effects helping the user follow a routine without having to checking a screen.
Clover helps young adults build a calmer, more consistent bedtime routine. It is a fiber-optic bedside
lamp designed to look like a potted plant. Clover has various features that assist in building healthy
sleeping habits for users such as:
Clock display
Clover displays the time ideally, allowing the user
to know the time without the need to check their
phone.
Night-time reset:
When the user is unable to sleep during the night
they can tell the lamp and set a 10 minute timer
to reset their body for sleep. This is a behavioral
treatment that is suggested for insomnia (Edinger
et al., 2021).
Wind-down
A light effect triggers 30 minutes before bedtime,
slowly counting down notifying the user to start
their bedtime routine. This cue is designed to
counter bedtime procrastination (Correa-Iriarte et
al., 2023).
Sunrise alarm:
The user is slowly woken up over the course of
20 minutes with a warm light that grows with
intensity. This shown to improve morning mood
reduce “sleep inertia” in the morning leading to a
better routine (Gabel et al., 2013).
Clover is driven by a Raspberry Pi Pico running CircuitPython. The Pico controls a 16×16 matrix of 256 WS2812B LEDs, and each LED feeds one optical fiber. The fibers are split across four 3D-printed leaves, 64 per leaf, so the light travels along the cables and each leaf glows as 64 separate points of light. A single rotary knob changes between lamp modes, and the whole lamp runs from USB power.
