If your snooze button is just making it harder and harder to get up and get going in the morning perhaps what you need is the ultimate alarm clock -- the Ramos Alarm Clock!

It was invented by 25-year-old engineer Paul Sammut who says, "I wanted to make something that would essentially force me to get out of bed." The Ramos Alarm Clock emits a loud "dinging sound" and once it goes off, you must go into the kitchen or bathroom and punch the day's date into a telephone-style keypad. Even if you unplug it, batteries take over. Paul says, "Now I wake up before it goes off. I subconsciously fear it and know I have to get up." He made a video demonstrating the clock and posted that on kickstarter.com-- where the general public can support creative ideas by investing in them financially. Paul says, "We raised over $150,000 over a month and a half and we currently have over 400 orders." That's over 400 orders at $350 a pop mind you. Yes it seems guaranteeing you get out of bed isn't cheap! Take a look at the video and tell me what you think.
