This gives a new meaning to “rolling out of bed.” | Clocky

November 1, 2024

Do you know someone who has trouble getting out of bed in the morning? Do they like to continuously hit the “snooze” button until they eventually become late and defeat the purpose of an alarm clock? It’s almost as if the only way they would get out of bed is if they had to chase their alarm clock to turn it off …

Meet Clocky, the alarm clock on wheels that will run around the room until you get up and turn it off. You can snooze it once if you wish, but after that, it will run off whatever table it is sitting on and taunt you until you get up and track it down. It is an ingenious idea if you ask me. Once you’re up, you’re up. That’s just a rule of life. 

There is also Tocky, who does everything Clocky does but allows it to record and play mp3 sounds while it rolls around the room. All I know is … a runaway clock, combined with the sound of my dog vomiting in the middle of the night, would have me out of bed in a flash.
