Who here laze around in bed when the clock goes off? Anybody? Hands… no? Curiously enough, some of us can even sleep through the entire process! It’s never easy waking up to the annoying ‘bleep bleep’ sound; the whole thing sounds almost offensive.
Maybe it’s time to dump our old alarm checks in the rubbish bin and replace them with these genius gadgets instead.
