Waking up was never so “easy”

Waking up early especially on a Monday morning, is an universal problem next only to the 10 plagues unleashed upon mankind. We invented the Alarm clock and still we invented the ’snooze’ . Ever wondered why? If an alarm clock is to wake you up, why does it have a snooze ? Apparently, the morning inertia is so much a factor that we have such features built into clocks we get these days. Yes, quite nice, quite useful, but often a loophole ! How many times have you snoozed your way back to sleep ?? Read on for a collection of interesting Alarm clocks on the market, you can’t snooze your way out !

1. The Flying Alarm Clock

This one has a propeller that flies off after the Alarm. The Alarm wouldn’t go off until you fetch the propeller and fix it back on. Cool!! but I recommend covering the clock with a cloth ;)

2. Puzzle Alarm Clock

This one has a puzzle that breaks and flies off. You will have to put back the puzzle together for the alarm to go off ! This one is recommended only for the geeks !

3.Coffee pot Alarm Clock

4. Clocky – The clock that runs

This ones is sneaky ! it wakes you up and then runs . You will have to hunt it to turn it off!

  1. The best part of the sleep is the snooze time between alarms …. the fact that you earn for that 5 minutes even after 6-8 hours of sleep explains it. Its time that somebody made an alarm clock which can apply few volts of electric shock gradually raising in intensity, to wake us up !!! I would say just a sec is enuf to wake up majority of us !!

  2. Shocking!! such an alarm clock already exists ….but who would be crazy enough to buy it ??

  3. that running clock is actually kinda cool. where can i get one?

  4. You should be able to order it form ‘thinkgeek’. Here is the link.
