An Alarm Clock that Slaps You Awake and Other Clocks for Heavy Sleepers [VIDEO]

Having a hard time waking up when the alarm clock goes off? YouTuber Simone Giertz has created an alarm clock that gets your attention by slapping you awake. 

Simone describes herself on her YouTube channel as "a professional maker and robotics enthusiast...Somewhat of an expert in shi--y robots."

Her alarm clock hooked up to a hand works, but is a bit of a hazard. Her hair got caught up in the gears! All good ideas have to start with a prototype and some trial and error, but maybe this has potential.

Do you press snooze button a lot? The Runaway Alarm Clock will put an end to that. Snooze once and when the alarm goes off again you have to catch it to make it stop!

Need a really loud alarm clock? The Sonic Boom alarm clock should do the trick, but it'll probably wake everyone in your neighborhood too.

This guy hooked up a car horn to an alarm clock. 125 decibels ought to do the trick and make you deaf in one ear.
