There's an interview with the inventor of the Sleeptracker here. Turns out the sensory side of it's simpler than you might expect - it just detects motion.

that simply requires a squeeze of a teddy bear to snooze. These people have clearly not been pulling enough all nighters. This is a collection of clever alarm clocks including a few that I have linked to, and some that I have not. Included for the sake of total completeness of this post.
