Zeo Personal Sleep Coach Alarm Clock

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Household, Misc. Tech, Science

If Jaime Sommers is wrong when she says that the cause of insomnia is because we don’t have a Sleep Number bed, at least we can now find out more scientifically. The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach alarm clock includes a wireless headband that reads your brainwaves and transmits the data to the clock’s SD card. When you get up, transfer the info to your PC, upload results to Zeo online and they will suggest what you can do to get a decent night’s sleep. At a cost of $400.00, they had better not tell you to drink a glass of warm milk or take a hot bath.

Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Household, Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video

If you know someone who is nasty in the morning, what better way to get back at him/her than with the Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock? When the alarm goes off, it lightly taps its arm, but if you don’t hit its snooze sensor within a minute, it will go slightly ballistic. If you sleep through that or ignore it, it will finally shut down after an hour. The clock can also dance to music from its built-in radio or your PMP, flash its lights, and swing its arms. Tap its head’s sensor and you get it to smile and tap its fists. When its eyes flash in red, it is time to change the TTAC’s 4 AA batteries or plug it into an AC outlet. At a size of 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 5-inches and a weight of 2 1/4 lbs., the naughty timepiece can be yours for $49.99.

Wake n’ Bacon Alarm Clock

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech

This clock is just a bit to far fetched for those of us that don’t do breakfast. Place a frozen piece of bacon in the slot of Wake n’ Bacon before you hit the sack, and the clock goes off 10 minutes before you want to get up. When the alarm hits, the clock sends a signal to a small speaker that reroutes it to a relay, then to two halogen lamps. The result is that you awaken to the smell of cooked pig. Designer Matty Sallin is thinking of adding calendar aware to his prototype so it will not go off on weekends and holidays. We think he should add a self-cleaning feature and perhaps something that would ensure we don’t get food poisoning.

Laser Target Alarm Clock

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Household, Misc. Tech

When you feel like you want to take potshots at your alarm in the morning, now you can do just that with the Laser Target Alarm Clock. When it goes off, you shoot the laser directly into the target to turn it off for the next 24 hours, unless you change its time or manually deactivate the thing. We figure by the time you aim and go bang, you will certainly be awake. The clock takes 3 AAA batteries and the laser 3 LR44 (not included) at a price of $19.99.
