Water light

(I must sleep with my mouth open a bit as I wake up thirty. I always sleep with water near by.) This product would either include a stable floor base or sit on a table. It would be a dim fluorescent light emitting from a hole in which an included glass would snuggly fit. This snugness would be accomplished by a rubber gasket. The intensity of the light could be adjusted by an easily accessible rheostat knob.

Don't drink the water if there's one in your glass. [UnaBubba, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

       Wouldn't it make the water warm being so close to the light? I don't understand what you gain from this. I usually use my mobile phone as a bedside alarm and often charge it at the same time. The tiny LED which illuminates when charging casts enough light for me to see all the object (including glasses of water) on the bedside table anyway.

       Perhaps interchangable lights (or at least comes in different colors). You have to appeal to the yuppie who will want one for each mood or so as not to get confused as to "whose" it is. "Oh the Sky Blue one is mine, the Irish Mist Green is yours."

       I guess it's not a big deal since I will only be waking up 30 ("thirty") for another month and eight days. That following morning, though, I will be waking up very thirsty and hungover if I don't drink a lot of water. I like the light as part of the glass-idea. as for the warming the water issue-a fluorescent light with a small open gap between it and the glass should eliminate any signifgicant heat build up.

       gin?

       I wonder if there is any soda with glow-in-the-dark dye. That would work in any glass.
—kbecker, Jan 13 2004
   

       I've seen drinking containers with a liquid and floating objects enclosed in the bottom or sides.. you could use glow in the dark floating objects so you could find your drink more easily...   

      
I think this would also be good for children who wake up in the middle of the night wanting a drink.

       No, not gin...dank beer.

       You could always duct tape your mouth closed.
—RayfordSteele, Jan 14 2004
   

       Yes, a self-contained, possibly inductively charged LED lighting system in the bottom of the glass would be nice. (I'm off to browse the Clear PVC section of the Harvel catalog to build a prototype...)

       atta girl [po]. gin! woowoo
—jonthegeologist, Jan 14 2004
   

       The serious side to this is that a young girl died after drinking (in the dark) from a copper sulphate solution sitting next to her bed on a bedside cabinet. She was growing a crystal in the approved 'Boy's Own' way. This would help. +
The amusing side to this is the fact that even more spiders could crawl onto your face and drink from your open mouth while you are asleep since you have a newly moistened mouth.
You all do know that this happens don't you??

       You drool at night pretty bad if you have lip piercings ... uncool.
—Letsbuildafort, Jan 14 2004
   

       Nope, just nine piercings in my left ear...three in my right. It was a faze, ok?
—jscottpete, Jan 14 2004
   

       Just leave a flourescent jellyfish in the glass. Also acts as a poor man's Lava Lamp if you have trouble sleeping.
—lostdog, Jan 14 2004
   

       Admittedly, that approach does have its drawbacks... Still, I woke up thirty for the first time a couple of months ago, and I would have appreciated something to put me out of my misery on that particular morning. I would have happily quaffed a Portugese Man 'o War as a hangover cure.
—lostdog, Jan 14 2004
   

       Chironex fleckeri, the last jellyfish you'll ever drink.
—UnaBubba, Jan 14 2004
   

       Last and first.
—lostdog, Jan 14 2004
   

       Neat idea. The electroluminescent panel mentioned by [gromit] gives off a nice little glow and almost no heat.

       "It would be a dim fluorescent light emitting from a hole in which an included glass would snuggly fit."   

       I'd rather have the light built directly into the glass (induction, anybody?), but have a croissant anyway.
—st3f, Jan 15 2004
   

       As someone who also needs a glass of water nearby when sleeping, I must croissant this as well. (WTAGIPBAN)
—krelnik, Jan 15 2004
   

       I would have to say the light as part of the glass (the moderately heavy base) would be much more practical. Who wants to ber thinking about where to set something when half asleep? I guess the dimly lit bottom-light product should come with a a large flat soft bedside table included. I'll build the table. Who's on glass light assembly duty?
