You might know of my lack of ability to wake up on time in the mornings. A number of clocks have been designed which “might” help me such as the Sonic Bomb, Clocky and a bunch of others which make a racket in order to force you out of bed. Philips have now changed this to now make a “cool” alarm clock.
