So I just came across this article, featuring several avant-garde alarm clocks designed to make it particularly challenging to stay in bed in the morning. They're shown on a site that is targeted towards fitness fiends, and these alarm clocks are supposed to make sure that you don't hit snooze and delay your morning workout. Personally, I don't see myself as a good candidate to try any of these. I find "Clocky" particularly offensive. So check them out for yourself - would ever try any of these?

Waking up before dawn for that early morning workout is hard in the wintertime. It's so cold outside, and so nice and cozy in your bed, isn't it? Maybe you should just hit the snooze and sleep for 10 more minutes, right? What could 10 minutes hurt? Your workout, that's what.If morning is the only time of day you have to exercise, then you've got to get up and do it. The snooze button is dangerous; before you know it, those 10 minutes have turned into 30 and you've just slept your workout away. If you or someone in your life is a perpetual snooze abuser, check out these stylish alarm clocks designed to wake you up and keep you there:
When the Puzzle Alarm Clock goes off, it shoots four puzzle pieces into the air. So what, you say? The alarm won't shut off until you put the puzzle back together.
For the angry sleeper in your life, here's the Muji rubber alarm clock. Encased in a rubber shell, it'll do you no good to throw it against the wall.
Put the Sleeptracker Pro on your wrist and it'll monitor your sleep cycles. When you enter the "almost-awake" zone, it will gently rouse you.
Clocky is my personal favorite. Once it goes off, it rolls of your nightstand and looks for a place to hide.
Don't work bankers hours or want to sleep in a little on the weekend? The Neverlate Executive has an alarm for every day of the week, as well as a customizable snooze.
