7 Unique Alarm Clocks for Heavy Sleepers Who Abuse Snooze

7 Unique Alarm Clocks for Heavy Sleepers Who Abuse Snooze
By Jenny • Jun 16, 2013 MD

If you abuse the snooze button every morning, then it’s time to check out some of these unique alarm clocks! I am about as far from a morning person as one can possibly be, and my husband works evenings and has to wake up at 11:30 PM, so finding a good alarm clock is like gold in my house. Establishing healthy morning routine hacks can completely transform your day. If you struggle with how to become a morning person, these super interesting alarm clocks might be just the thing to force you out of bed… literally!

1. Blast off

Blast off

Buy one of these interesting alarm clocks to blast you out of bed every single morning! When the wake-up time arrives, this rocket alarm clock starts a brief countdown before launching its missile into the air. The blaring noise won't stop until you physically get up, seek out the rocket across your bedroom, and snap it back into its launching base. If you’re like me, once you’re physically out of bed and walking around, you’re up for good! You can find this fun gadget on Amazon for around .03.

2. Clocky

Clocky

If your main morning issue is hitting the snooze button over and over again, the best strategy is moving your clock completely out of reach. What does Clocky mean for chronic snoozers? It's a clever motorized device that rolls off your nightstand (from up to three feet high) and runs around your bedroom floor, finding a new place to hide so you can’t fall back asleep. The loud, robotic alarm keeps going until you play hide-and-seek with your little clock on wheels to turn it off. It is available on Amazon for .22.

3. Wake up Work out Alarm Clock

Wake up Work out Alarm Clock

Need to establish two healthy habits at once? The Wake Up, Work Out Alarm Clock will not only get you to wake up earlier in the morning, but it will get you exercising right away as well! Designed like a dumbbell, this clock barely weighs anything so it won’t really build massive muscles, but you have to perform 30 bicep curls before the alarm will finally turn off. If it were five or ten lifts, I could probably do it in my sleep, so 30 repetitions seems like a great number to get your blood circulating. Check out GadgetsAndGear.com to pick up yours for .95.

Here is a quick comparison of these innovative wake-up options:

| Clock Model | Primary Mechanism | Best Suited For | | --- | --- | --- | | Blast Off | Rocket launch | Active morning movers | | Clocky | Rolls & hides | Chronic snooze abusers | | Target Shooting | Laser aim game | Focus & mental alertness |

Improving your morning routine also depends on developing solid sleep habits the night before.

4. Target Shooting

Target Shooting

If you need interactive alarm clocks to sharpen your senses, this target shooting alarm clock is perfect. The laser gun sits right by your bed while the target is positioned across the room. Once the alarm triggers, you have to focus, aim, and shoot to turn off alarm sound using your infrared laser pointer. Because the target surface is compact, aiming requires accuracy, making waking up fully an absolute necessity. There are customizable difficulty settings, including varying speeds and required hit counts to ensure you're fully alert. Search for this gun target alarm clock on Amazon for around .19.

Sunshine and blue skies bring positivity and joy and it's important for every woman to take full advantage of it. Even when stuck indoors, it's still possible to enjoy some good vibes. Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.

5. Silent Alarm

Silent Alarm

If your alarm clock issue is that a loud, blaring noise startles you awake and ruins your morning vibe, invest in a stylish silent alarm. The vibrating disc slips neatly between your mattress and box spring (or directly under your pillow) to gently shake you awake without disturbing your partner. While a tactile alarm might sound unusual at first, physical vibration is a much calmer and more peaceful way to wake up and start your day. You can find gentle bed shaker alarms on Amazon for .12.

6. Room Tech Beingz Alarm Clock

Room Tech Beingz Alarm Clock

At .99 from Amazon, this was definitely one pricey alarm clock! But that's because the Room Tech Beingz alarm clock is more than a standard clock—it's an interactive robotic companion. It attempts to wake you gently, but if you ignore it, it throws a full temper tantrum by pounding its robotic fists and yelling until you get out of bed! If you own other Room Tech Beingz devices, they will even communicate with each other. When it's not acting as your wake-up call, you can talk to your clock and pet it to keep its mood happy!

7. BetterMe

BetterMe

Need extra motivation and accountability to get up in the morning or follow your daily schedule? Would public accountability do the trick? The BetterMe app syncs with your routine, and every time you snooze or fail to meet your wake-up commitments, the app automatically posts a message on your social media about how lazy and unreliable you were that morning! If positive reinforcement doesn't work, accountability definitely will. You can check for habit accountability apps on the Apple App Store for free.

Key features to consider when choosing cool nightstand clocks:

  • Movement-Based: Clocks like Clocky or Blast Off force physical mobility.
  • Skill-Based: Laser target shooting requires mental focus and coordination.
  • Vibration-Based: Silent bed shakers provide quiet, peaceful wake-up calls without disturbing roommates.

Hopefully these interesting alarm clocks will help you get out of bed every morning! I know of all the things I have to do during the day, stepping out from under warm covers is usually the hardest part for me. My Grandma used to let me “cozy” in bed every morning when I would spend the night at her house as a little kid, and apparently that’s a habit I’ve never quite outgrown! Which of these unique alarm clocks do you think would work best for your morning routine? Do you know of any other awesome clocks or gadgets that get you moving?

    I had the Beingz one a few years ago, and it was only $20 or so... And it was extremely annoying...

    The rocket would be good for me. I wake up to my alarm radio but just stay in bed sometimes too long.
