Do you hate getting up and the blaring alarm clock only results in you hitting the snooze 5 times and arriving to work late? Surely, you curse the alarm clock and accuse it of snoozing for only 9 minutes instead of 10, robbing you of 1 minute extra sleep. (Actually, little known fact, most alarm clocks snooze for 9 minutes not 10.)
Truly, you want to make it to work on time, but ohhhhh how tempting hitting the snooze button just 1 more time is. More Americans suffer from "snooze button addiction" than any other. I myself suffer from snooze button addiction and that is why I was intrigued by this new alarm block from nanda called the Clocky that can help you break your snooze button addiction.
The Clocky alarm clock runs away and hides when you don't wake up.
Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will JUMP off of your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide. That rascally clock!
Damn thing can even jump 3 feet! Clocky is kind of like your dog or cat that comes pestering you on a Saturday morning wondering why this day is any different than any other day and why you're still in bed sleeping past 10am when you're usually up at 7am.
Of course, an obnoxious alarm clock that runs and hides while blaring the alarm could result in the alarm clock being thrown across the room, like Bill Murray did in the cute romantic comedy Groundhog Day.
Features:
Set your snooze time, 0-9 min
Snooze once before he runs away
Choose 0 and he runs right away
Can jump from up to 3 feet
Moves on wood and carpet
Press snooze to view time at night
Screen flashes when beeping/running
Alarm beeps in random pattern
Clocky is small: 5.25" x 3.5" x 3.5"
Want him to stay put? Disable wheels.
Early low battery warning
Colors: almond white, aqua and mint

I've long placed my alarm clock across the room so that I have to get out of bed to turn it off (with varying success, obviously). Hayat Benchenaa hanging alarm clock is a hanging ball suspended over your bed that lights and chimes to wake you up. To hit snooze, you just give it a little smack, causing the alarm to retract on its cord just a little nearer to the ceiling forcing you to stretch more and more each time until you're eventually swiping at it with a broom, because you have 20-foot loft ceilings. For most people, though, the alarm will retract until it hits the ceiling, where it must be pulled down to its original length to reset
i am all too familiar with the nine minute snooze time frame. *yawn*
