If you’re anything like me, then you have serious trouble getting out of bed in the mornings. Let’s face it, it’s easier to lie down and build a drool-pool enjoy the comfort of your pillow than getting up and starting your daily routine.
Of course, that daily routine is what brings bread to the table, so you know you have to get up eventually — and by the time you’re done debating whether to call in sick or not, you’re already 20 minutes late!
Well, the Thunderclap Alarm Clock is here for those of us who could use a hand getting out of bed.
This clock has a 113-decibel ringer that’s — as the name implies — loud as thunder, and you can customize the alarm’s volume and tone up to 113 decibels to create a unique sound that will force you out of bed.
The Thunderclap also features three bright red LEDs that can be set to flash and provide extra wake-up action, and it includes a vibrating pad you can place under your mattress to create an unmissable bed-shaking tremor. If you keep sleeping after that, there’s not much else that will wake you up.
Plugging into AC with a battery backup (9-volt battery not included) that keeps the clock and alarm running in case of a power outage, the Thunderclap Alarm Clock is your very best defense against the evil forces of oversleeping, and it’s available at Hammacher Schlemmer for $34.95.
