An alarm unit for promoting healthy sleeping and waking up routines, and a method for operating such an alarm unit

An alarm clock made of two or more main parts (from here on assumed to be two parts: top part and bottom part) that can not be opened / separated by hand (not even with tools like a screwdriver or similar) unless the alarm is in a certain state. Preferably the state of the alarm should be "off", "inactive", "not set". The purpose of this is to prevent cheating (by opening the alarm clock to remove / unplug backup batteries or other similar kind of manipulation). The two main parts are prevented from being separated by a lock (preferably a standard push / pull solenoid lock) placed inside the two main parts (inside the alarm clock). The position of the lock can be both the top part and bottom part but is preferably placed in the bottom part. When the alarm state is "Off" the electric lock can be opened via a wireless commando / signal. Preferably the signal is sent via bluetooth / wifi or similar from preferably but not limited to a smartphone (via a software application installed on the smartphone). When the lock is open the two parts can easily be separated by hand without the need of any tools. Alternatively the lock is automatically locking the two main parts when the alarm state is changed to not "Off" and unlocking it when it changes to "Off".
