Been working all night on a geek-like project? Been playing WoW for 16 hours straight? Worried that you’ll instinctively keep hitting snooze on your alarm and end up sleeping through – well, whatever it is that you might sleep through?
Then you’ll need to get one of these new alarm clocks when it hits the market:
two-wheeled “Clocky” automatically rolls off the bedside table when the alarm goes off and the snooze button is pressed.
It travels around the room and its carpet-covered surface bumps into objects that come into its path, until it finds a resting place.
Yes, it forces you to get out of bed to turn it off, and it is built so that it finds a different resting place every day. Of course, it doesn’t really stop you from finding it and resetting the alarm for an hour later, or from just putting the pillow over your head – but hey, at least it forced you to get out of bed…
That wouldn’t be to good if you sleep on a bunk bed, as you would have to move quite a way to get out of bed to find the thing.
I don’t know about you but I have got used to my alarm and just switch off when I hear it. It would be cool if it had a pool of 100 different alarms to. Then it would confuse you every morning.
Nice idea tho. Sure to wake some people up
Actually, Eddie — isn’t that the point? ;) And I agree with you about the pool of alarm sounds – that would definitely make it more effective…
You could just put your alarm clock AWAY from your bed in the first place and tada it makes you get out of bed without spending anymore money!
clocky could be the best friend i hate..
please clocky..come to the market place.
