Shocking Alarm Clock

So I am sure all of us at one point or another have troubles getting out of bed when that alarm goes off. I have decided to share some of the techniques I use and have heard about from other's that apparently work pretty well. Some of the techniques are mildly annoying, others are obnoxious, and some are just shocking! Here are the top 5 techniques that help get me out of bed:

 

 

1.   Take a flathead screwdriver and attempt to rip Snooze button off of alarm clock.

 

2.   Some clocks have the option of setting multiple alarms. I set one 15 minutes before the other; you must have it set to the annoying beep, DO NOT USE YOUR RADIO….unless it is a station that plays The Pussycat Dolls over and over again.

 

3.   Get one of those timers you usually use for Christmas lights, plug it into the outlet and set the desired time you would like to be awoken. Now plug a strobe light into the timer. Do make sure you still have you still have your normal alarms set  and the strobe light is pointed directly towards your face but in a safe enough distance from getting hit.

 

4.   This one works! Most phones have alarm clocks that are loud and annoying. Most phones also have a setting to loop the alarm. Make sure you have the alarm set to “loud” and “loop”. Now take your phone and place it on the other side of your room in an area that takes some work to get to. This should work pretty well most of the time unless you are like me some days when you could care less about the loud noise across the room and you still rather attempt to sleep through it. That brings me to my fifth and probably the most effective yet uncomfortable way of getting out of bed (This worked really well when hangovers existed in my life):

 

5.   As stated above this is the most effective technique but is not meant for everybody. Those who are deathly afraid of getting an electrical shock might want to rethink trying this, however, that is what makes it so effective. You can buy an alarm clock that will shock you if you try to hit the snooze. It is possible to hit the snooze button without getting shocked but it takes some attention which you usually don’t have right after awaking from a slumber. There were many times at the beginning where I forgot I had set it up and was very surprised!

     
   6.  Get a roommate/spouse/girlfriend/family member to wake you up by yelling there are a lot of FBI agents in front of the house. This worked on me twice, and to my surprise there were FBI agents outside of our house, luckly they weren’t there for me;  our neighbors made some bad choices…
 
 I am pretty sure one of these techniques should work for you. I don’t know about you guys, but for me, I needed all the help I could get on certain mornings. Most of the techniques listed are simple yet effective.
