Do you hate your alarm clock?
The snooze button is one of my favorite things. Whoever invented the snooze button must surely be the most popular guy in the Land of The Living Lazies! I mean imagine the alarm clock ringing at an unearthly hour in the morning and all you have to do is press the snooze button. Uninterrupted sleep for another 5-10 minutes! Ahh... a few minutes more of precious sleep.
And believe me, hitting the snooze button can definitely go on for a very long time. I speak from experience. However, after one particular snoozy occasion and a missed job interview, I decided I needed an alarm clock that would definitely wake me up.
In my search for the ultimate alarm clock, I found many alarm clocks that claim to do the job of waking someone up. But, if you are someone that won't wake up for the average alarm clock, you need something extra special
For those sleepy heads, I found alarm clocks designed to wake up all different types of sleepers.
Here are my finds for the 11 alarm clocks I thought good enough to practically wake the dead:
Drag Race Alarm Clock
You can start your day with the egines roaring with this 8,000 horse powered wake up call.
With its realistic lights and drag racing sound effect, this Drag Racing Alarm Clock will surely get your speeding around in the morning.
The Shocking Alarm Clock
This Alarm Clock is one of my favorites.
I would love to place it in my guest room for all those who come to visit but don't leave fast enough.
The Shocking Alarm Clock is just plain nasty, as it not only wakes you up in the morning but to turn it off you've got to be shocked.
SnuzNLuz Alarm Clock
If ' just 5 more minutes is what you promise yourself each time the Alarm Clock goes off and you hit the snooze button this is just the Alarm Clock for you.
SnuzNLuz-WiFi Donation Alarm donates a specified amount ( a minimum of $10 no less!) of your real money to your most hated charity/ non-profit everytime you hit the snooze button.
Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock
Guns are not for you but you don't mind a little noise and excitement? Go and get yourself theSonic Bomb Alarm Clock with a bed shaker. The Sonic Bomb Clock has an adjustable volume alarm with a maximum loudness of 113 decibels ( which is the equivalent of a power saw right next to your ear). If that's not enough to wake you up, you can also slip the bed shaker that comes with the alarm clock under your mattress to get you rocking early in the morning! If you have a penchant for more punishment, you can always hit the snooze button to repeat this torturous cycle of noise and discomfort. (See this at ThinkGeek.)
Flying Alarm Clock
The Flying Alarm Clock will have you flying off the bed.
The dratted propeller driven module of the flying Alarm Clock actually spins of the base unit each time the alarm goes off. The catch is, the noisy alarm won't turn off until you retrieve the propeller and place it back on the base. This means you have to get out of bed and search for the pesky propeller which may have landed anywhere.
Playing "find the propeller" will surely get you up and out in the morning. (Via Gizmodo)
Rooster Alarm Clock
You realize you've been too long away from home when you feel the need for a Rooster Alarm Clock .
It will crow away all your sleep every morning!
It is definitely not for the chicken hearted though.
Drill Sargeant Alarm Clock
Your every waking moment is spent putting order and discipline in your life.
The Drill Sargeant Alarm Clock is just right for you.
After a bugle plays "Reveille" your personal Drill Sargeant shall clear all the cobwebs from your brain with an inspiring round of orders you can't fail to obey.

Another cool alarm clock invention
Submitted on May 2nd, 2007 by Elizabeth (not verified)Clocky. Don't have one yet, I'm waiting for the cuddly shag version to come out, as promised. I've got three clocks set in different room, so I am getting to work in the meantime. Similar to the puzzle alarm clock and flying alarm clock you describe on your blog, this alarm clock makes you get down on your hands and knees to hunt for it. Theoretically once I have scrabbled under the dressar I will be awake enough to realize it is more important to make the 9 am staff meeting than to get ten more minutes sleep. Theoretically. Unlike most of your examples, it doesn't pack in hostile volume, but adorable R2-D2 mechanical cuddliness.
