On average, the snooze button gets hits twice each morning, and each snooze cycle is 8 mins long. So a total of a 16 minute daily… imagine how much more could be done over the course of a year with a 16 mins of extra waking time (3920 hours assuming only 49 work weeks in a year… 65 hours!).

In that spirit, here are 2 gadgets that peaked my interest:

Wakeup gadget from Hell #1: The alarm clock that flies around your head in the air when it goes off

However, given how loud my current alarm is, this thing might not actually wake me up because it’s sound is described as “supposedly an annoying, mosquito-like buzzing”. If it’s only a “mosquito buzz” then this thing’s got nothin’ on me in the morning.. may as well give up now.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse (or better?), I present you:

Wakeup gadget from Hell #2: The inflatable pillow that will break your spine

Instead of just inflating to throw you off the bed in the morning, it keeps inflating more and more putting you in the most uncomfortable position you can imagine… this coupled with my ultra-loud alarm clock and my cell phone alarm going off on the other side of the room might have a shot getting me up to enjoy my cup of joe 16 mins earlier.
