ULTIMATE ALARM CLOCK
It's the ultimate early morning alarm call for those too tired or lazy to get out of bed.

Scientists have built an intelligent alarm clock that runs and hides after the snooze button is pressed so that the sleeper has to get out of bed to find it in the bedroom to turn it off again.

The 'Clocky' clock does not give the restless a five minute break and then an opportunity to turn it off again for another five minutes by using the snooze button repeatedly.

Instead it zooms into action.

It rolls off the bedside table and uses its wheels drive off and find a hiding place somewhere in the room.

It is also programmed to go to a different hiding place each time it is used so there would be no chance of throwing a pillow at it to cover it up.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Boston, also claim that their invention will motivate the worst sleep-in offenders whose brain will be forced to become awake and alert.

the thing better be big so we can see it.. if not there's no way im loosing time searching for it!

If someone got me that...id end up throwing it against the wall when i found it

I do something seemed i put it far away from bed so i have to wake up, turn on the lights and go turn it off i get less sleepy that way.

I think people with that alarms will just get tired after some days...

LOL.. thats great.

but seriously i'd probably throw it out the window. i get annoyed enough with my regular alarm clocks.

heres something i usually do..i put it to ring (or whatever is the word in eng.) around 7:45.

When it reaches that time i wake up go get it, turn it off and set it to ring at 7:50 and then it rings again and i put it for 8:00 and sometimes i keep doing this until i reach like 8:10 

lol hey that would be funny.. ur dad so happy gets u it for ur bday.. comes in next day sees it on the floor in 4 pieces

you still sleeping.. (s)

What happens if it decided to hide near where you get out of bed and you stood on it

wu!

i want one of those, where do you buy them???

I hope they test it properly first, or else there could be some freak alarm clock incident

OMG this would be amazing in my room.. but at the same time i will crash it against the floor i dont like disturbs when im sleeping

i dont need an alarmclock really, i got my fone an when i dont use my fone my dad usually comes into my room and shakes me until i wake up, it hurts ahaha but i want one! id be mad to take to a friends place to annoy the crap outta them haha

wouldn't work for me, if I can't reach the alarmclock from my bed I just put my pillow over my ears, pretend I don't hear it, and continue sleeping... (for about 5 mins, then I'm so annoyed I go put it off, and then continue sleeping ).

this is hilarious!

I always put my alarm far from my bed so I have no option but to get up

nobody interupts my sleeping time

I use mywakeuptunes, as that way I have to get out of bed and hit the keyboard if I want to put it onto snooze

My parents wake me up! so i dont need this. I have the best alarm *parents ever lol

It better be very shockproof

I need someone to wake me up cause unless its an exam or i have to go out somewhere important, i dont get up early in the morning by my self. This would be a gr8 thing imo especially 4 me But sometimes i sleep after 1 at nite and when the alarm rings at 6.30 am then i go accross the room, shut it off and goto sleep
So i think this could be good. If it undergoes production and comes to the market then id buy it

It would be funny if it goes the wrong way, and you are sleeping naked!

it would eat batteries though, and my carpet is thick and coverd with junk and the floors uneven cos its an old house would be crap for me it would just get stuck

lol yea same here, i used to does the same as paperless but now its right next to my bed half the time i dont remember turning it off because im not awake enough, lol

---

I usually get up when my alarm goes off. After a few weeks of getting used to the alarm I always start to wake up about 5 seconds before the alarm goes off...I guess I realise the time or something

Probably get launced out the window once i found it ... would make a great birthday present for someone you're not too keen on though

It could work for me.
LOL

I whant one!!!

I need one of those, except it would probly roll out my door and fall off the landing above the stairs and break. Meh.

lmao thats cool

i think it would just be annoying

it wouldn't get a foot from my bed with out getting stuck in my junk, i think they should invent an alarm clock that has ether 17 different snooze button and only 1 of them works each time, or on that continusly pokes you with NO snooze button
