• "Weird" Alarm Clocks That Can Wake The Dead

  A friend of mine was recently grumbling about getting up in the morning. She was telling me that despite setting up a number of alarm clocks, she can never wake up in time for work. Clearly, she needs an alarm clock that can wake the dead. I got curious (again) and searched online for “unusual” alarm clocks that could rouse my friend.

  Just as I had expected, there were definitely some interesting alarm clocks on the web. Out of them, I picked the six most appealing. And here they are:
  

  1. Clocky alarm clock: This alarm clocks has two small wheels on each side. It runs and hides when you don’t wake up!! It works just like another normal alarm clock, but “if you hit the snooze button it jumps right off the night stand and cruises around your bedroom finding a place to hide. It can actually jump 3 feet! One it stops running, the alarm goes off and continues to blare till you get out of bed, find the alarm clock and shut it off.”

  
  

  2. Puzzle alarm clock: “This clock shoots four pieces of a puzzle into the air when it goes off. In order to silence the alarm, you have to reassemble the puzzle on top of the alarm clock.”

  
  

  
  

  
  3. Flying alarm clock: “The dratted propeller driven module of the flying Alarm Clock actually spins of the base unit each time the alarm goes off. The catch is, the noisy alarm won't turn off until you retrieve the propeller and place it back on the base. This means you have to get out of bed and search for the pesky propeller which may have landed anywhere.”
  
  

  
  

   4. Sonic Bomb Clock: This "has an adjustable volume alarm with a maximum loudness of 113 decibels ( which is the equivalent of a power saw right next to your ear). If that's not enough to wake you up, you can also slip the bed shaker that comes with the alarm clock under your mattress to get you rocking early in the morning! If you have a penchant for more punishment, you can always hit the snooze button to repeat this torturous cycle of noise and discomfort.”

  
  

  5. Carpet alarm clock: “In order to turn it off, you have to get up and step on it. If you really want to make it a challenge, place it far away from your bed.”

  
  

  
  

  
  6. Shape up alarm clock: "This dumbbell-style alarm clock wants to start your day off right! Just set the alarm and in the morning it will buzz until you’ve done 30 reps."
  
  

  
  

  
  Which do you think would wake you up in the morning? Do you know of any other “weird” alarm clocks?
