Hanging Alarm Clock Literally Makes You Rise, Maybe Not Shine

Passion 05-27-2008

They say if you build a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door. But given the variety of alarm clocks available on the market, I think the real money is in finding new and unique ways to wake people up in the morning. Like this hanging alarm clock for example. You attach the clock to your ceiling with the supplied cable so that it hangs just above your bed. Not so close that you’re going to hit it every time you roll over, but close enough to hit the buttons without having to reach too far.

When the alarm goes off in the morning (playing the theme from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind) you can simply reach up and hit the snooze button for some more shut eye. But that will also cause the alarm to climb up the cable 30cm every minute. So every time you hit the snooze button, that’s 30cm farther you’ll have to reach. Eventually the alarm will be so far that you have no choice but to physically get up to reach it, and at that point you’ll probably be wide awake.

You can find the Hanging Alarm Clock for about $40.

lol gosh to go to the extreme to wake up in the mornings, but yeah I would so get this clock but then again if I had a gun I would just wake up and yell "PULL" lol, but that is a good idea

1 more thing I need that would increase the chances of me breaking something when I wake up. Please no one stand in the strike zone.

Making an alarm more difficult to disable does not motivate those ready to sleep through 3 - 4 snoozes, but making you actually get out of bed or up does, but then people just set the alarm later.

With meeting so many people from here lately and spending time with them I notice how many of my friends don't really use alarm clocks.

spawnschickishot

u know i dont lol and if i dooo i can put up a mental block so i can ignore it easy lol my hubby is all like get up and turn off the effin clock lmfao

Dream

You the last person who needs a damn alarm clock. Hell you don't even answer you phone when it rings most of the time so an alarm clock would just be background noise to you.

Oh man I want this so much. I have a very hard time getting up in the mornings so this would work out so well for me! Haha

hugo281

lol poor Stephyi , but yeah I sometimes have trouble waking up in the morning, especially when someone calls me up on my cell phone at 03(butt crack) in the morning talking about picking em up at 6 to go to work, I'm like Uggghh man can't you wait til 5:30 or something to call me its 3 freaking 0'clock in the morning!!!

I would be a nice show piece atleast. Especially if it comes in different colors. I hate clocks sitting on desk just takes up space and this would proably be perfect for me.

i know i'm not an actual "friend" but i'm here on this site, and you could add me to that list

i dont even have a bed-side clock, other than my celly...
the only time i get up is if its not cold out of bed, dont really care how hungry i can be its all "bed, warm. room, cold... fuck ya, i'm sleepin!"


however, in the RARE event that i need to set an alarm, i usually wake up 10 mins before it goes off.. sometimes even 30 mins...

Nina

I'm like that, makes me think why I set the alarm for, could of have an extra 5 min sleep too.
