Never oversleep again: Clocky Alarm Clock gets you up!

There’s no shortage of alarm clocks featuring various gimmicks to get you out of bed, but our in-office test of Clocky confirmed why this alarm clock on wheels is the best: When the alarm began to blare, Clocky jumped off the desk and zoomed away, hiding around the corner. There’s simply no way to turn it off without getting up to chase it, which means that even the most hardcore sleep-through-the-alarm college student or slumber-deprived parent is forced to rise on time.

Of course, if—for some odd reason—you don’t want Clocky to run away, you can disable that function and use it as a conventional alarm clock. But why would you do that?

Inventor Gauri Nanda developed Clocky while a snooze-alarm-addicted student at MIT. What started as an attempt to get her to class on time is now an international marvel, selling in 45 different countries and rousing stubborn sleepers worldwide.

The versatile Clocky is battery-powered, can jump from a height of three feet, and will do its running-and-hiding trick on carpet or wood. This is just the thing for anyone who needs help getting up (and has a sense of humor).
