It rolls away and you have to chase it. Cruel, and it works.
The problem it solves
Snooze is a nine-minute lie you tell yourself five times. The first hour of the day gets spent in a fog of negotiation.
What it is
An alarm clock on wheels that jumps off the nightstand and drives around the room until you get up and catch it.
Who it is for
Chronic snoozers, heavy sleepers, and students who have missed something important because of a snooze button.
How to use it so it sticks
Put it on the far side of the room. Once you are up, do not get back in. Water, light, movement, in that order.
Who should skip it
If you share a bedroom with someone who does not need to be up, this will cost you goodwill.
Verdict
The least gentle wake-up on the market and, for the right person, the most effective.
