WakeMate is a wrist strap iPhone accessory that helps users wake up at the optimal time during the day during a set twenty-minute interval, meaning if you want to wake up between 8 and 8:20, WakeMate follows your sleep pattern and buzzes your iPhone to wake you up at the precise time that is best for your body. The device also tracks and uploads your sleep pattern data to WakeMate’s servers so you can look at your REM sleep and see if there are causal relationships between bad sleep and something going on in your life. The best part? Now, you can truly use your smartphone even when you’re sleeping.

The wrist strap provides a non-invasive means of reporting sleeping patterns. You can pre-order your wrist strap today for $5, with the $45 balance due when the device is expected to ship at the end of the month. Although the WakeMate‘s page focuses on the iPhone, it will work with the iPhone and iPod Touch, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Palm, ‘Non-Smart’ Phones (Java)–basically a Bluetooth-enabled phone with a net connection.
