??night* is a bed stand dock for your iPhone with a twist. The iPhone sits inside the dock and lulls you sleep with its soothing music and relaxing mood light. Just when you are sleeping peacefully, this dreamy environment is harshly disrupted when the dock begins to flash and vibrate in response to an incoming message. This isn’t a design flaw; it’s done deliberately to encourage you to turn off your phone at night.
??night* was designed by Douglas Wood, a product designer from Scotland. You can read more about his dock on his website and get insight into how it works from the video below.
