Sometimes you’re tired but need to stay awake. May be you’re driving home at night after a party, may be you’re trying to study late in the night for your midterms or you just want to stay awake to see the end of that TV show … For that, there’s Restless ! Restless will keep you awake by vibrating at regular interval and as soon as it feels that you’re getting asleep.
