Here’s Top 10 List of most annoying alarm clocks in the world. The one pictured above can be activated by pulling out the grenade pin and throwing it in the sleeper’s room. Although it doens’t actually blow up, the grenade alarm clock will make loud noises that forces your enemy (target sleeper) to wake up and turn off the alarm clock.

Here’s an interesting article on bedtime body language.

A man’s favorite sleep position — which reflects the type of partner he’ll be — is generally the one he assumes right before he nods off. “That’s the strongest indicator because it’s the one he innately feels most comfortable in,” says Samuel Dunkell, M.D., director of Insomnia Medical Services in New York City, who studies the link between sleep positions and personality.

This is a patent labeled, “Device for Waking Persons from Sleep“, from 1882. Now we call it alarm clock but I guess this would be one of the first alarm clock patents ever. Looks awful painful though when waking up to this device, probably not good for modern ages…

. . . The object of my invention is to construct a simple and effective device for waking persons from sleep at any time which may have previously been determined upon, the device being also adapted for use in connection with an electric or other burglar-alarm apparatus, in place of the usual gong-alarms. . . .

Ordinary bell or rattle alarms are not at all times effective for their intended purpose, as a person in time becomes so accustomed to the noise that sleep is not disturbed when the alarm is sounded. The main aim of my invention is to provide a device which will not be liable to this objection.

In carrying out my invention I suspend a light frame in such a position that it will hang directly over the head of the sleeper, the suspending-cord being combined with automatic releasing devices, whereby the frame is at the proper time permitted to fall into the sleeper’s face . . . the only necessity to be observed in constructing the frame being that when it falls it will strike a light blow, sufficient to awaken the sleeper, but not heavy enough to cause pain. . . .
