Wake Up! The 8 Most Tricked Out Alarm Clocks

Posted by Cory Cavin November 20, 2009 2:15 PM

I've overslept twice in the past two weeks and it is the worst feeling in the world. I woke up, realized what time it was, and THREW myself out of bed. Like a cartoon. This should not happen. I need an alarm clock to wake me UP. Here's 8 of the most strangely tricked out alarm clocks that can give you the audible nudge to push your sleepy eyes to the shower and the coffee pot.

8. Clock Sheets

7. World's Loudest Alarm Clock

You won't oversleep much because after using this for a week you will stop sleeping all together for fear of being startled to death. (via)

6. Clockman: The Emotional Clock

5. Chumby

4. The Emily Sideways Alarm

3. Seiko Ocean Theater

Also known as the Little Mermaid LSD Flashback Clock. I think James Cameron slept with this for years before he made The Abyss. (via)


2. Wordclock

1. The World's Largest Bed Alarm Clock

Of course this one would win. It is a little old, but I've seen nothing that would make me want to oversleep less. Really, this makes me want to sleep on the floor.
