That would be a bad investment for me. Clocky would end up in the microwave.

I'd be the first one up on charges for "Clocky abuse".

I have never understood the "need" for this sort of thing.
If people don't want to get up, why have an alarm clock at all?

Here's a more effective method. Feed your dogs first thing in the morning when you wake up. After a couple weeks of this you'll never oversleep again. Whether you like it or not you'll be awakened by whining dogs hungry for their breakfast.

When I have to get up at two to be to work by four this thing could come in very handy.

It wouldn't last a week with me.

I get nasty when I am sleep deprived.

Sooner or later, "Clocky" would have a "discussion" with Mr. Hammer.

I use that dog method--works fine except on the weekend.

As well, the springer has learned to get me up to feed him, then if I go back to sleep or out, he swears to my wife that he has not been fed until she gives him second breakfasts.

People with retrievers will never sleep again.

"Now who couldn't use one of these"

I've got three dogs, one cat, one wife and two teenage daughters.

I need one of these like I need one less bathroom.
