During college (and I guess now as well) I had the occasional problem of turning off my alarm clock and going right back to sleep. Of course I tried the method of putting my alarm further away from me so I’d have to get up to turn it off, and it would work for a while, but soon enough I’d just saunter right back and go back to sleep.
I came up with the idea of combining an alarm clock with some sort of game, preferably something reflex-based, and you’d have to play the game to turn off the alarm, guaranteeing that you were awake. Just imagine having to play a game of Simon to shut off the irritating alarm. Foolproof! Nobody would still be sleepy after playing a few rounds of that.
So of course, this morning I find this lovely puzzle alarm clock in my inbox from DailyCandy (Yes, I subscribe to DailyCandy. Bite me.) Oh well. I still think my Simon idea has a leg up on this though, seeing as how the puzzle will always be the same while Simon can be a different game every time. Milton Bradley / Hasbro, we should talk.

[…] Alarm clock that won’t give up. If this guy makes millions off my idea while I’m still writing CSS, I’m gonna cry. […]
