Clocky

Meet Clocky, an alarm clock that runs and hides from you, skittering around on cute little wheels. The idea is that, if you're like me and can shut off alarm clocks, even ones in other rooms, without actually waking up, then having to actively search for the clanging little fucker is a good way to come to full, rage-fueled consciousness every morning.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] queue for the link. I hope it becomes a buyable thing! Even though I hate it already!

wow... that would be something.

I have actually injured alarm clocks before. I frequently turn them off in my sleep. Or sleep through them entirely.

What has been working for me the last few months is my cell phone -- with 3 alarms set, about 20 minutes apart... all with diferent ring tones. Then I leave the phone on maximum stun placed downstairs.. so I can hear it in bed, and I really have to get up and walk a ways.....

I usually get to the second alarm/snooze cycle before I wake up enough to go deal with it.
