Wouldn't it be nice to awaken gently and naturally before the main alarm jarringly goes off in the morning? The cool new Sunrise / Sunset Simulating Clock automatically connects to, controls and dims almost any incandescent lamp to recreate the natural cues of light that trigger the body's internal clock to sleep or awaken. It uses your existing bedside lamp to simulate real sunrises or sunsets using actual field data of light intensity changes and can be set to deliver over a two hour span or any length in 15-minute increments. It includes all essential alarm clock functionality, including AM/FM radio, dual-alarm times and a snooze button.

This may work for most, but I still need a shotgun blast, a bucket of water to the face, 15 yowling cats, electroshock and a pinch before I even think of opening one eye. Actually, the only alarm that works on me is a ringing telephone.

Rotating Earth Watch

There are truly some weird watches out there and the Rotating Earth Watch is one of them.

The frame around the planet is made of Titanium, the crystal is super tough Hardlex and it's powered by a 10 year Lithium battery. $499.99 makes this a non-buy for me, but it is kinda cool.

The Flying Alarm Clock

The Flying Alarm Clock is quite possibly the most annoying and frustrating alarm ever created. When the alarm sounds, it launches a spinning rotor 9 feet up into the air. The alarm will not turn off until you wake up, get out of bed, fetch the lost rotor, which could have landed anywhere in the dark, and return it to the clock base. By forcing you to think about finding that missing rotor and making you stumble around the bedroom, you have a much better chance of actually staying awake.
