Pattern clock - Wake up the hard way!
For all those who are not able to get up from thier morning sleep where alarms are no use for them, there is a new product called Pattern clock. This clock won’t turn off the alarm unless you repeat a Simon-like pattern of lights by pressing a series of buttons. This alarm clock will defintely wake you up and the side effect would be driving you crazy as a part of the process. I gotta buy one for me!
PS: I heard from some sources that people just pull the power of these types of clocks to stop them from screaming. There were also some instances of breaking the clock in heights of frustation.
Cute.
But I still think the clock that runs away is way cooler in terms of assuring that you wake up.
(unless, you build an ‘agazhi’ of sorts around your bed so that the clock can run away and fall! :)) )

I used to set up mp3 alarm in my laptop (shell script behind GNU-screen; logout), close the lid and go to sleep. Now to wake up, I will *have* to open the lid, login as user, do ’screen -Dr’, switch to the terminal, press Ctrl+Z and do “kill -9 %1″.
That’s enough work to really shake my morning sleep.
Note: Careful selection of the song would add or subtract to advantage.

This link was appearing in one of the Google ads on this page. Maybe if a girls talks to you on this wakeup call everyday, the success rate will be high!
