Poly is a smartphone controlled alarm clock that aims to help its user to regulate his/her sleeping cycle with a simple and effective way. It is shaped as an icosahedron which has 20 faces. Every morning, a random face keeps blinking with a random sound, until the user finds that face and puts Poly down on it. Poly can also warn the user that it is time to go to bed, in order to get enough sleep.
