An alarm clock with a bite

If your morning ritual looks anything like mine, hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock plays a large part in it. For people like me – and maybe even you – a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab has developed the Clocky ultimate alarm clock.

When the alarm goes off and the snooze button is pressed, the clock will start moving, jumping off the night stand and finding a spot to rest. The next time the alarm goes off, the owner has to get out off his or her bed and find the alarm before he/she can hit the snooze button again.

The alarm clock is partially inspired by kittens who used to bite the toes of designer Gauri Nandathe in the morning.

Unfortunately Clocky is just a research project. The hiding alarm clock isn't yet available in stores.
