Clocky

For the person whose snooze button has won every morning this year.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

An alarm clock on wheels. When it goes off, it rolls off the nightstand and hides, so turning it off means getting out of bed.

Three reasons

  1. It was invented at MIT and still does the one job: make you stand up.
  2. The wheels can be switched off, so it can also be an ordinary loud clock.
  3. The link is the original blue Clocky, not a lookalike that beeps and stays put.
