Ghetto Christmas-light Goggles

Quest for Lucidity
1

I figured, why should I even bother getting involved with electronics and programming for something like this.

Then about 2 seconds into thinking of alternatives, CHRISTMAS LIGHTS came to mind.

So for this project you need very expensive items.

  • Duct tape/strong tape
  • Crappy goggles
  • Christmas lights
  • Timer

  1. Attach two (or more) lights to the inside of the goggles, with tape.

  2. Plug into timer and set timer.

  3. Sleep.

My particular lights (which I found in a box full of tree decorations) are broken - only the red ones go. They flash on for half a second every 3-4 seconds. I guess the other colored lights would go on as well when the reds are off, but they are all busted.

I set my timer to go off for 2 minutes at 4am, 6am and 8am.

Guess I will post my results, but really, someone else should make some too :cool_laugh:

Ingenious! That’s all I can say.

1st night: Fell off. Far to sore to keep wearing. Added some pads to not make it so sharp.

Here’s an idea. You could try putting the lights on a headband instead of those goggles. And wear it over your eyes ofcourse. Or maybe it’ll work wearing it on your forehead only having the lights a little over the edge. Ofcourse this raises some poking-issues, especially with pointy lights like that.

maybe get loads of mirrors (as you’ve only 2 lights), place them around your head in bed (but not so you’ll be able to touch them with your face while sleeping) and shine the lights in the mirrors. The lights will go everywhere and you’ll not have goggle - eyes in the morning and you’ll have a lucid dream. If the lights are powerful enough.

2nd night: Can’t seem to fall asleep with them on. Falling off again.

I think I will put some elastic from one side to the other so it actually stays on my head.
