Annoying Alarm Clocks

Some people have a natural circadian rhythm that sends them to bed at a reasonable hour and wakes them up naturally between seven and eight hours later.

I can safely say that I am not one of those people. I don't go to bed all that late, but I need an alarm clock to buzz me awake in the morning. And since I maybe dropped my smartphone in the toilet and it maybe not be working, I need to buy an alarm clock. After an internet search, I believe I found the three most annoying alarm clocks in the Western Hemisphere.

Clockly physically makes you get out of bed to wake up. If you hit the snooze button when the alarm goes off, it roles off your bedside table and crashes into things in your room. The alarm won't stop until you capture the clock and turn it off. I'm thinking of getting this for my brother just to annoy him.

The Laser Target Gun Alarm Clock requires you to hit a target with the provided plastic gun to turn off the ear-splitting racket, the idea being that if you can do this while barely awake, you're up to facing the challenges of the day.

The Puzzle Alarm Clock makes an annoying sound at the prescribed hour. It also fires three puzzle pieces in the air, which you are required to find and return to their matching holes before you can shut off the alarm. With my luck, the pieces would probably roll under my bed.

I'm drawn to the laser alarm clock. It seems like the most fun way to wake up, although it would probably get really annoying after a month. It would also be aggravating for my family, because I don't have the greatest aim and it would take a while for the alarm to stop.

Rise and shine, everyone!
