Wake Up and Smell The Clocky!

any normal person oversleeps for a class or work or whatever, makes sure to go bed earlier or have a friend wake you or set the alarm clock earlier or even set the alarm clock clear on the opposite side of the room but MIT students/researchers are apparently made from different star stuff:

Like Something Out of a Cartoon...

LONDON (Reuters) - Can't get out of bed in the morning?

Scientists at MIT's Media Lab in the United States have invented an alarm clock called Clocky to make even the doziest sleepers, who repeatedly hit the snooze button, leap out of bed.

After the snooze button is pressed, the clock, which is equipped with a set of wheels, rolls off the table to another part of the room.

"When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep," New Scientist magazine said Tuesday.
