Stand Up To Wake Up, Simple As That
There’s been quite a few ingenious alarm clock concepts of late. They all have one thing in common – force you to physically get up to turn them off. The Carpet Alarm Clock is a variation to that whole meme. In order to turn it off, you have to get up and step on it. If you really want to make it a challenge, place it far away from your bed. Of course it wouldn’t be a clock if it didn’t have and LCD screen to indicate time too.

Geisrud says
Just don’t put it the wrong way at your bed, or it will be 02:80 in the morning. And that, my friends, just doesn’t help a hangover one bit.
earth says
Where do you come from, that your clock can show 02:80 ????
earth is retarded says
you are an idiot; its 8:05 upside down
Eric says
Earth is retarded: No it’s not, earthlings are. Case and point: “you idiot; it’s 8:05 upside down.” Why?: Because it’s really 8:50 upside down.
Earth is retarded, is retarded. Insults when they’re due…
Hawkinz says
I thought it said 8:20…
Eric says
In the photo yes….
me says
you’re all idiots. it’s 08:20 lol
uhh says
uh actually ur retarded lol its 8:50 upside down
you're all retarded says
Actually you’re all retarded (except Geisrud and Hawkinz)… a digital upside-down 2 is still a 2
It either says 02:80 or 08:20 depending on how you look at it

On first glance, I thought it was a carpet scale. Which would also be cool, though I guess a bit hard to be precise with it not being stiff.
Nervid says
Umm, why not just put the alarm clock away from the bed (like on the dresser), which would also force the recent sleeper to completely get out of bed to turn it off? It’s funny how in the description of the product, it says to put it farther away from the bed for a real challenge. Heh.
Link Entire Directory says
Yeah..that is what i was thinking. Just put our alarm clock far away from the bed.

Please PLEASE e-mail me when you get these out for purchasing! It would definitely work better than my worthless keep the alarm clock across the room trick.
Joey Ramone says
Nice design, although a bit masculine for my taste. But what does this do, which my method of putting both my alarm clocks on a high shelf doesn’t? Once you’ve put your feet on it and stood up, who’s to stop you getting straight back into bed? I think a chilling underblanket would work better – it’d get so cold that you’d want to get out of bed just to warm up!
El says
I say order 5 or more capet alarm clocks then scatter them throughout your bedroom that will get you moving! oh and one for the bathroom to insure you make it there. hehehe!
xxblahxx says
there are similar things like this alarm clock (that are in production) at http://www.thinkgeek.com. there’s even one where the clock has a propeller and when its time for u to wake up, the propeller shoots and flies around and the beeping alarm doesn’t stop until the propeller is put back where it belongs xD

Harold Lavalle says
The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint me just as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, nonetheless I actually thought you would have something useful to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.

Wow! So the first guy tries to be funny about upside-down and a hangover. Followed by a bunch of idiot comments from a whole series of comedic retards. “Don’t read it upside-down cuz it reads a messed up time really early. And that can be bad after a nite of drinking”. Is that so tough to just giggle at… And now I’ve wasted 2 minutes 80 seconds of my day on you dip$#!+s!

I’m not sure why but this website is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check
back later and see if the problem still exists.
Sharky says
Interesting concept, I think I would just end up dropping a book on it to turn it off though. Laziness is the mother of invention!
