If you have an unhealthy addiction to the snooze button on your alarm clock, you may appreciate the latest invention from MIT's Media Lab. Clocky is an alarm with an ingenious method for rousing even the most dedicated morning dozer. After you hit the snooze button, the contraption rolls off the bedside table and zooms away on a set of wheels to some other part of the room, finding a new hiding place every day. When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep.

It won't be rolling very far when you whip the fucker at the wall and it smashes into pieces.

Have the considered an alternative product, where you simply place the alarm clock quite far away from the bed before going to sleep?
