Do you have problems waking up in the morning? The product Clocky is an interesting invention out to help all those people. Studies show that if your alarm clock is right at your bedside, chances are you’ll hit the snooze button 3 or more times before you actually get up, or someone forces you to get up. Sounds familiar, right?

If you have ever heard of Clocky, the moving alarm clock, you would be amazed. It works like a regular alarm clock. You set your wake-up time as usual.

Here’s the catch: if you don’t wake up right away, or you hit the snooze button too many times, you’re going to have to get up and shut it off because it’ll be halfway across the room, thanks to it’s very own set of wheels. It purposely has a very annoying ringing sound that makes it impossible to sleep through- think of R2d2 from Star Wars.

Clocky: crushing the dreams of sleep-in type of people everywhere.

If that doesn’t stop you from getting up, it will jump off your nightstand and look for a place to hide. That means you will have to get up. That would bound to wake you up soon! Although you can shut the wheels off, that is not the point of this high-tech alarm clock, that would defeat the purpose. Just get a regular alarm clock if you want to take the easy way out of it.

It costs $50.oo, and considering all the time you waste rushing to get off to work or school, this is definitely a must if you have a problem getting up. It comes in almond, aqua, coco, raspberry, or chrome. Stylish, but practical, Clocky is a very smart invention. It does require 4 AAA batteries, however, but that shouldn’t cost you much more. Another warning, try not to put it more than 3 feet high.

Do you have Clocky? Or do you disagree with this article? I want to know because it sounds so cool! I do not have one, but that’s because I don’t have a problem getting up in the morning for some reason.
