LONDON (Reuters) - Can't get out of bed in the morning?

Scientists at MIT's Media Lab in the United States have invented an alarm clock called Clocky to make even the doziest sleepers, who repeatedly hit the snooze button, leap out of bed.

After the snooze button is pressed, the clock, which is equipped with a set of wheels, rolls off the table to another part of the room.

"When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep," New Scientist magazine said Tuesday.

The amusing thing is that even if I had to chase some sort of crazy gadget around to turn it off, I would still fall asleep somehow two seconds after turning off the alarm.

No, you would talk to it all confused-like for a bit, then go back to sleep.

[Skavian]

That is also a likely scenario.

I'd more likely hunt it down and stomp it to bits....that's what it gets for running!

Hahaha.

I like this idea and the images it puts into my head.
