Said George Orwell, if you have difficulty getting up in the morning, hide your alarm clock on the far side of the room behind large heavy items of furniture, or consider the words of Marcus Aurelius:
In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present- I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world? Or have I been made for this, to lie in the bed-clothes and keep myself warm? - But this is more pleasant.- Dost thou exist then to take thy pleasure, and not at all for action or exertion? Dost thou not see the little plants, the little birds, the ants, the spiders, the bees working together to put in order their several parts of the universe? And art thou unwilling to do the work of a human being, and dost thou not make haste to do that which is according to thy nature?
Well, now you can tell both George Orwell and Marcus Aurelius to go straight to Hell and burn, because someone's invented an
alarm clock that flies.
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. The Blowfly alarm clock works like a Blowfly. At the desired time it flies off from it's cage and starts flying and making sound around you. The only way to stop it is to wake up catch it and put it back in the cage.
I guess my idea for spikes that slowly grow out of the mattress is still ahead of its time.
