Cool Alarm Clock

At one point in time owning an alarm clock meant having a clock on the side of your bed that did two things, it woke you up and told you the time of day. This no longer needs to be the case as there is the cool alarm clock on the market that make waking up a fun and enjoyable experience. The world of alarm clocks is constantly striving to create a new and unique way to get you moving and out of bed each morning, some of them have been successes while others were great until the novelty wore off.

With the advent of the digital clock many things became possible when it came to displaying the time and perhaps one of the more unusual ideas to come around is the projection alarm clock. This clock actually projects the time onto a nearby wall or the ceiling in a darkened room. Now whether or not you can actually see the clock you can always see what time it is. Many projection clocks also project the outside temperature so that you know what you are waking up to.

IPods are very popular these days and it will probably come as no surprise that many companies are now producing a huge variety of IPod alarm clocks. Designed for you to dock your IPod into and listen to your favorite music as you go to sleep, these clocks will also charge the batteries in your IPod while you sleep. Now you can wake up to your favorite music, choose one of your local radio stations or you can always use the beeper to not so gently wake you up in the morning.

Creativity seems to abound with the number of alarm clock gadgets available on the market today. There are several different cool alarm clocks in this category that are worthy of a mention and might help those of you who have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. The Sfera is a sneaky idea in an alarm clock; it hangs from the ceiling above your bed. When it goes off you simply reach up and touch it to activate the snooze feature. The sneaky part is that every time you hit the snooze button, the clock rolls up the support string and climbs higher towards the ceiling, until eventually you have to stand on the bed to shut it off.

For those of you who prefer to be woken up gently without beepers or buzzers consider a sunrise alarm clock. The idea is that approximately half an hour before your alarm is due to go off the light on top starts to come on. Much like a real sunrise the light continues to get brighter until it wakes you up. To make sure you actually wake up there is a beeper that goes off at the time you preset.

If you still don't think you can get out of bed then how about the Clocky, once you hit the snooze button this little jewel rolls off the nightstand and zooms around your bedroom until it finds a place to hide. It picks a different place each day and then sounds the alarm, forcing you to get out of bed to turn it off.

With the selection of cool alarm clocks available today, waking up in the morning need never been boring or painful again. You can choose something fun like the Clocky that will get you up and moving or one that will wake you up gently to start you day off with a smile, the choice is yours.
