Happy Monday! Don’t you just love waking up to a whirlwind of responsibilities after a worry-free weekend?! Yeah, me too. As you can probably gather, I’ve slept through my fair share of alarm clocks in my life. My sister still likes to reenact the not-so-pretty face I made one morning years ago when I slid Risky Business-style into her room after we both slept through our alarms and I missed my flight. Wonderful.
As much as I dislike saying so long to Mr. Sandman, I will admit that I do like playing the role of an alarm clock on occasion. I used to love to disruptively wake up my roommates by bouncing at the foot of their beds, singing our college’s fight song beginning with the chorus: “Rise and shout…” It only seemed appropriate. I don’t know - maybe they would’ve preferred one of these gizmos to one of my whimsical wake up calls.
Replace your clunky wood-paneled alarm clock with this funky aqua Clocky.
You’ve probably heard about the Clocky. It’s a rolling alarm clock that forces you to scramble chaotically around your room until you are successfully able to chase it down and turn if off, helping you make that oh-so-unpleasant jump out of the bed and into the day. Sounds kind of fun/kind of annoying. For precautionary measures, I think it should only be used by those with Mary Poppins-par tidy rooms; otherwise, I’m pretty sure serious injury could occur. So what do you think? Would you rather wake up to: my peppiest vocals and self-choreographed cheer moves OR a super cool-looking robot clock from the future? I know. The choice is obvious, right?
