Many sleepers experience that after they turn off the alarm clock they go on sleeping. One thing that sometimes wakes you up at night and prevents you from sleeping is the mosquito or blowfly when flying around your room. You can't and don't want to fall asleep again until you've caught it. These produces adrenalin and requires movements. The alarm clock blowfly works like a "blowfly" that at the desire time it escapes from a cage in your room. It starts moving and producing sound around you - to turn it off you should catch it and put it back in the cage.




I'm speechless. It sounds like a good idea but I keep thinking about what if that thing is buzzing around my bed and the batteries die and t hits me in the face? I'd be pissed sad.gif

My alarm clock has a snooze button on the top: problem solved. Every 9 minutes after it first goes off, it goes off again until I silence it properly by turning it off with a switch on the side. Personally I think that a "blowfly" alarm clock is a crappy gimmick tongue_orig.gif

As for the whole batteries dying, plastic thing hitting you in the face malarkey goes, it's probably mains-powered with a backup battery (my "normal" alarm clock is the same and it only costs £6.99)

there is another one with wheels...and after your press snooze once, its rolls away from you and hides somewhere (like those robots who run into things then go in the opposite direction) then goes off from its new hidden location.

LMAO laugh.gif

Thats actually much better, when I was at college I used to set my hi-fi's alarm clock for the early lectures, it was on the other side of the room so I'd set it at a very loud volume for the desired time, and hide the remote away so that when it went off I'd have to get out of bed and get across to the hi-fi and shut it off quickly before it started waking up the parents! Worked every time, for me at least actually getting out of bed (especially on dark winter mornings) is half the battle wink.gif

So... it actually flys around the room? Doesn't say it.. but that's what I'm understanding... and that seems insane.

Holy shit that'd be really cool. i'd probably get used to it though and go back to sleep with the alarm on lol. That or I'd block it so it wouldnt get away from me
