Unusual Alarm Clocks

Loudest Alarm Clock

The main function of an alarm clock is to awaken the sleeping clock owner.  However, obviously, some inventive manufacturers think diversity is essential.  There are a large number of unusual alarm clocks on the market today.  Many alarm clock designs involve more than a clock radio with a buzzer and a snooze button.  They are very different from Grandma’s old fashioned wind up clock with two bells on top.  In fact, some alarm clock designs do not really resemble a clock at all.  Some perform some very unusual “added functions,” in addition to awakening the sleeping clock owner with an alarm.

The SnuzNLuz Alarm Clock allows one “free” opportunity for the user to wake up.  If the user hits the snooze button, even once, the clock will automatically donate a minimum of $10.00 to the sleepyhead’s most disliked charity.  This alarm clock requires a bit of initial set up to function properly.  The basic idea is for the user to become angry enough to get up, after donating to a despised charitable organization.  During the initial set up, the user selects a charity that he or she does not, and would not, support to receive the donations.  Each time the snooze button is pressed, the clock will make a donation from the user’s online banking option.  The clock taunts the user with the details of the current donation and a summary of past donations, also.

The Puzzle Alarm Clock promises a “pieceful” start to the day.  The user sets the alarm clock before going to bed.  When the preset time arrives, the alarm sounds and the puzzle pieces go flying.  The sleepy user must gather all four pieces and replace them in the proper spots to stop the alarm.  This alarm clock will awaken the sluggish riser and get his or her adrenaline flowing.

The Carpet Alarm Clock is guaranteed to get the user out of bed.  The alarm clock is built into a piece of carpet.  When the alarm sounds, the sleeper must get up and stand on the carpet to turn the alarm off.  Placing the carpet several feet away from the bed, or across the room, will ensure that the sleepy user is fully awakened.  The LCD clock display provides enough light for the user to locate the carpet alarm in a dark room.  This alarm clock eliminates the “snooze” option forcing the user to get out of bed at the designated time.
