I am one of those people who just has a hard time waking up in the morning.  Daylight Savings Time has killed me!  I am always late....I was born late, clocks are not my friend.  If you find that you are having trouble waking up there are some solutions to help you....but if you are like me, they will probably irritate you even more! 

The roll clock - No fair!

The Roll Away Clock

This clock is designed so that when you hit snooze it rolls away and off your table into the unknown of your bedroom - this way you are forced to get up and find it if you want to hit snooze again!  (I know - thats just plain wrong!)  But I have to admit it would probably work to get me up at least the first time (then I'd have to toss it in the pool outside!)  But it might just be the alarm clock to do the trick for you!  (It would make a great gift for that in-law you don't like too much too!)  :-)

Watch it in action!

The Jigsaw Clock

The Jigsaw Clock - too much thinking in the morning!

Now this is the gadget for those who love puzzles!  Now again I must confess I am somewhat of a geek when it comes to gadgets, but even more than I love cool techie stuff - I LOVE MY SLEEP!  This is way too much thinking for me in the morning!  But, I think it would be a fun thing to surprise my husband with one morning!  (Just kidding!)  The puzzle lovers will love this one though!

The IPod Clock

My favorite - the Ipod Clock. Nothing like waking up to your favorite music!

This is more my speed - but of course I need to buy an IPod first!  Waking up listening to my favorite music - now thats what I call a good wake up call....and the great thing about an IPod rather than a regular clock radio, is that you can pick the music!  So no waking up to commercials, or the 10 minutes of hard rock playing on the radio!  Its all James Taylor to me!

The best clock in the world - and you can't buy it at the store!

Baby Clock!

You ask...What is the best clock I have found?  Have a baby!  My daughter is now two years old, and I can tell you there is no better clock in the world.  Money can't buy a better clock!  Every morning precisely at 7:05 am I hear my daughter joyfully singing in her crib (most mornings it is joyful singing at least).  Not only does it do a good job at waking me up, but when I go in there and see her beautiful smile, no matter how tired I am, I'm not angry or irritated to be woken up....just happy!  :-)
