For most people, getting out of bed in the morning is a bit of a struggle.
Luckily, the 9 clocks below are here to help. Some wake you up with an
annoyingly loud noise, while others won't shut off until you complete a task—but
they all promise to get even the sleepiest sleepyhead[1]) up and moving.
Silent Alarm Clock
Do you hate the sound of your alarm clock going off[2]) at the most
pleasant moment of your rest? You should try this conceptual alarm clock that
wakes you up without any sound. It works like this: you wear a wireless rubber
ring with an integrated vibration device that generates a tactile[3]) alarm. By
shaking your hand, the snooze function is engaged. If you still feel like
snoozing a little bit, it'll take more movement each successive[4]) time,
leading you to get up on time for work.
Light Sleeper Alarm Clock
Doesn't a bit of sunshine wake you up more easily? The Light Sleeper is
made of a pillow and a duvet[5]) that were designed to make our body clock
respond to an imitation sunrise, accelerating the wake-up process. This creative
alarm will make the bedding gradually begin to glow in a natural rhythm over a
15~20 minute period, so you can wake up kind of spontaneously.
Throw Alarm Clock
Every Monday morning when your alarm goes off, don't you have that impulse
of throwing it across the room? Good news! This brilliant alarm clock was
designed just for that! It can only be turned off by bouncing it or throwing it.
Yeah, this is what we all need!
Darth Vader[6]) Alarm Clock
The Darth Vader Alarm Clock is the right one for Star Wars fans. It not
only looks cool but has different functions. It displays the time in his eyes;
it has AM/FM radio tuning and 3 sounds effects that are bound to wake you
up.

Danger-Bomb Alarm Clock
Do you like action? Well, with the “Danger-Bomb” clock, you'll feel like
James Bond since you wake up. The annoying sound of this alarm will only stop if
you connect the blue, red and yellow wires in the correct order. If you fail
your mission, get ready to a fake—and even more annoying—audible explosion.
Bacon Alarm Clock
Do you think a nice breakfast is a good reason to wake up early? Then the
Waken' Bacon might be the right one for you. It wakes you up with the tempting
aroma[7]) of bacon browning in the oven, just like the ones Mom makes on Sunday
mornings. Just remember to place a frozen strip of bacon inside the night before
and the next morning, 10 minutes before the desired waking time, the cooking
process will start. Once the alarm goes off, you'll hear the alarm sound and not
only you'll wake up but you'll have your breakfast ready!
