The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock 639
wired_parrot writes "If you have trouble waking up, try this: MIT media lab has created an alarm clock that, when you press the snooze bar, runs off into a corner, a different hiding place every day. Try hitting the snooze bar again now!"

Even then I woke up one morning on the floor in front of my closet with the clock in my hand, late for work again.
Not long after that I moved back down South.

Does anyone know if there are other implementations of this? Devices which are designed to wake you up when you hit the lightest part of your cycle?

I had so much trouble with just turning my alarm off in the morning and going back to sleep that I set the alarm clock clear across the room, requiring me to quickly wake up and LEAP out of bed (literally!) to kill it. Eventually, I got the muscle memory down so perfect that I could throw off my covers, leap down and smack the snooze, and just reverse the motion and be back in bed again.
I don't think any amount of snooze annoyance will keep someone dedicated to sleeping in from doing so. Chances are if I had this Clocky thing, I'd get so fscking annoyed with it I'd break it and then sleep in a few hours late just out of spite for having been annoyed.
