Alarm Clocks for the Waking-Challenged Fun blog post roundup of clocks that give you that extra kick in the pants to get up.

Most of them require you to perform some sort of task - one more involved than pushing the snooze button - before they'll stop ringing. Others verbally abuse you or waft enticing smells.

  • A friend of mine in uni had a Kellogg's Corn Flakes alarm clock. It was the big green rooster, holding a box of Corn Flakes. It would let out this obscenely-loud 'cock-a-doodle-doo', but because it was so cheaply made, it had this electronic squawk overtop of the rooster sound. My friend wasn't very popular in his dorm.
  • I have a Clocky that someone gave me. I haven't dared to use it yet though. Maybe I should do so, and report back to this thread...? Or maybe I should sneak it into Speedlime's bedroom...?
  • THERE ARE FEMALE BREASTS DEPICTED ON THIS PAGE!!! OH, MY EYES! MY EYES!
  • I like the Bacon clock. Does it do sausages too?
  • Hideous, but I wantwantwant this one. Pretty ugly, but what functionality! The only thing it doesn't do is fry bacon. and why NOT, I ask you? The thing is big enough to bake cinnamon rolls. I want to go on record as stating that I hate winter. Blah.
  • If I ate meat I'd buy that bacon clock in a shot.
  • I am perfectly capable of turning off any one of these and then going back to sleep for hours. Allergies suck.
