For all of those having a sweet and sound sleep and find that you miss your alarm clock way too often in the mornings, there could be a solution to make that cozy bed of yours a little less comfortable…
Simone Giertz, possibly known best for her breakfast machine, is a Swedish robotics enthusiast who has built several ‘not that useful’ robots, one of them being this modified alarm clock. With this big hand attached to the wall above your bed, you’ll have no choice but to get up as quickly as possible.
She simply attached a rubber hand to an electric engine and connected it to the actual alarm clock. So when it’s time to get up, the alarm clock triggers the engine and the rubber hand begins to make its rounds at your face.
As if the piercing alarm from your smartphone isn’t unpleasant enough, a rotation of slaps to the face gives a whole new meaning to a ‘rude awakening’.
