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.

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.

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.

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.

It is the perfect alarm clock ————— for perverts! Why not lay your alarm clock on the floor.
