Wake up Alarm Clocks

Alarm clocks that will get you up in the morning.

The "Morning Shooter" basketball alarm clock is one for the annoying category.

The alarm is turned off by throwing a ball to the basket. Or by dunking it, although it might break the basket. Missing a shot will mean waking up unless you have a stash of balls by your bed.

Chances are good that this clock will wake you up. First, you need to open your eyes to aim, and second, you need to move your arms to throw the ball. And third, go fetch the ball and turn the alarm off.

Buy it from UXSight.com for $16.70.

This alarm clock tries to force you into thinking a bit before turning off the alarm. When the alarm goes off the clock will shoot three pieces of different shapes and colours into the air. Your job is to assemble them back to the clock to turn the alarm off. This supposedly reduces the risk of going back to bed.

Available from Amazon for about $20.

Simply put: Clocky is an alarm clock with wheels. Wheels for what? For running away from in the morning!

Clocky will let you snooze one time, and one time only. After that it hops to the floor, starts rolling around and makes a very annoying sound. You are forced to get up from bed, find the clock and push a button to make it stop.
