Having trouble waking up?

If you’re like me, you tend to press snooze one too many times. Well, it seems some students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (never head of it either) have developed an alarm clock, dubbed the Sfera, that solves this problem:

The clock itself actually hangs from a string, and automatically raises itself a little bit higher off the ground every time you hit snooze, in turn forcing you to actually get up out of bed if you want to turn it off.

Interesting idea, though I can see myself whacking it with a pillow after a while. Maybe it would be better if instead of raising itself up, it shot you with water. That would definitely wake you up!

  1. I think the splashing the water on you in the morning would be a good idea, especially for someone like Dickson, I mean at least he’d LOOK like he took showers…instead of just smelling like toxic waste

  2. A low-tech way would be just place your alarm clock far away from your bed. That way, when it sounds, you’d have to get up and walk all the way across the room to turn it off.

    What a dumb invention for such an easy solution.
