We share a love and hate relationship with our alarm clocks, they are meant for our own good and yet every morning we curse the damn clock for interrupting our sound sleep. On the other hand, before going to sleep we hope that our beloved alarm clock does manage to interrupt our sleep the next morning; imagine what the world would be without alarm clocks. 

Apart from conventional alarm clocks, there are many creative geniuses out there who have created ingenious clocks for those people whose worst nightmare begins in the morning when their standard clock fails to break into their sleep. We have complied a list of 10 such alarm clocks that will ensure that you do manage to get out that bed, they are irritating, noisy, intelligent and 'alarming' and therefore very effective. So have a look and amuse yourself:

This alarm clock with wheels will have you on your toes every morning, A product designed for an engineering project by Gauri Nanda, this mischievous little clock with wheels is not only shriekingly annoying but also jumps off your table (thanks to the wheels) and goes for a ride in your room. It won't stop screaming and driving around until you get out your comfy bed to chase it and shut it up. Some morning 'eh?

Now if driving clock is't good enough, then there's a flying one too. When that alarm goes off, the tiny little propeller-driven module on the top of the clock flies off making an extremely shrilling noise. The producers of this product like to call it "Star Trek red alert siren". And of course, in order to make it stop, you need to be alert enough to find that propeller and then place is back on its base; can't even imagine to trauma of finding a flying and extremely irritating pesky little thing every morning. Why would any one do that to themselves?

Thankfully this one is a little less aggressive than the previous ones, a subtle and fragrant clock that wakes you up with a soothing scent every morning. You can wake up to any scent you prefer, the diffuser in the clock runs according its timer which you set according to yourself; its two heat sinks vaporizes oils giving you an enchantingly pleasant smell. You can start you day with a refreshing smell of roses and perhaps end it with vanilla. 

This clock is a very clever creation, every time you hit that snooze button it will make you pay the price; literally pay the price. This wicked little thing can connect to your bank account via Wifi giving you a list of about 1600 different non-profit organizations, you have to choose the one you hate. From then on, whenever you hit that snooze button, it will donate your money to that organisation, and guess what...minimum amount is $10. The producers of this clock say that it uses "very complex psychological phenomenon known as 'Hatred".  

This clock will not only wake you up every morning but might just make you healthy as well. It is designed to force wake you by making you do 30 reps to stop it from buzzing. A dumbbell shaped digital clock that will ensure that you finish your reps as soon as it starts snoozing, not only to have you are up and running but also shape you up. Your trainer will be glad to see you own one of these.



Shocking Alarm Clock

Definitely not my favorite, because this bizarre vintage looking clock will literally give you shocks when you try to hit that snooze button. An electric shock will travel through your body when you try to stop this innocent looking clock. Even if you are crazy enough to own one of these, I'm sure you'll eventually train yourself to get up before the alarm goes off.
