Alarm clock set to wake doziest of sleepers

LONDON (Reuters) - Can't get out of bed in the morning?

Scientists at MIT's Media Lab in the United States have invented an alarm clock called Clocky to make even the doziest sleepers, who repeatedly hit the snooze button, leap out of bed.

After the snooze button is pressed, the clock, which is equipped with a set of wheels, rolls off the table to another part of the room.

"When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep," New Scientist said on Tuesday.

Sounds interesting, but i like my method better, set the alarm to 1 and 1/2 hrs before i actually have to be up, wake up, reset it for an hour later, go back to sleep, wake up, reset it for half an hour later, go back to sleep or read for a bit, then get up when i have to.

See, this would be disaster for me. I would flail around my room in distress, looking for the clock and kicking at things and knocking shit over and making sounds like a distressed Wookie who knows only one non-Shirwook word: "fuck". Then I would go back to sleep.
