Sleep Deprived, Suddenly Revived!

Sleep Deprived

Julia Hu was annoyed by her fiancés alarm clock waking her up early each morning. She designated her problem as being rudely awakened and then being unable to get back to sleep, and saw the same issue with roommates and couples everywhere. Julia decided to talk to a sleep expert and innovatively came up with a solution to this problem.

Suddenly Revived!

Julia Hu is the founder of Lark Technologies founded in 2010. The company is dedicated to “take a holistic approach to developing our products that includes innovative hardware, intuitive software and expert-backed content.” Their goal is to be a “consumer electronics company that makes wearable wellness monitors.” Julia is a unique millennial entrepreneur who created a wrist band that tracks sleep habits and serves as a silent alarm clock. This original “Lark” uses vibrations to wake up a sound sleeper and let their mate continue sleeping. It also tracks sleep throughout the night and provides advice as to how to develop better sleeping habits. The Lark extends to a wide variety of customers with the same goal in mind to advance sleep and therefore, improve life. After being introduced to the public, Lark Technologies really took off, “and what had begun as a vibrating silent alarm clock grew to become one of the most popular sleep sensors available. Our product has grown to become a more comprehensive sleep product including the best sleep coaching available.”

Julia Hu was driven by her own frustration about getting enough sleep. Her idea of a silent alarm clock is great because it is so different from anything seen before and solves a very real problem. Julia exhibits great leadership qualities in initiating a business of her own at a young age and continuing to grow and develop the product. Now, customers can find a “Lark Life” which works as a personal coach for sleep, diet, and even exercise. It also connects to an app for IPhones. It is obvious that Julia is very in tune with modern issues and is therefore able to come up with an effective technology that provides all services in one wrist band solution.

Julia Hu serves as an inspirational entrepreneur. Her ability to detect a problem and find a truly unique solution is very admirable. Julia promotes her product through colorful designs, but mostly the idea of having a guide to living a healthier life on your person at all times. Lark Technologies will continue to prosper under the leadership of Julia Hu, providing a progressive new way to improve your sleep and further live a happier and healthier life.
