In what has to be a device that will certainly get you out of bed and on your feet, the Megaphone Alarm Clock should be a blaring solution to alert anyone who may still be groggy and sleeping soundly. The alarm clock which is available from the Museum of Modern Art Store, may throw you off track with its look. But mind you, looks can be deceiving.

The clock features 10 decibel beeping alarms and comes with a backlight too. Other features include a host of buttons at the back. The Megaphone Alarm Clock retails for about $45, an insane solution if all other alarm clocks still fail.

Actually, the feature was strongly requested before as per the manufacturers. Not only that, they also offer Monogramming too (for about $9.99).

The new wake/sleep function is a feature that Dodocase owners have long requested and until now, had to use ugly DIY solutions. Apparently, Dodocase believes in quality hence the new feature/s.

Alarms via iPhones is nothing new but something different seems to be intended if you constantly hit the snooze option for this iPhone app. The alarm app apparently donates a quarter each time you hit the snooze option in the Snooze for iPhone app. And mind you, this is not a forced contribution but rather asks you twice in a month which non-profit organization you would want to donate, that is if you would care.

The app seems to be more of a reminder on how we can do our part to donate to charitable institutions. The app acts more of a reminder that the more we snooze, the more we should be made aware of what we can contribute when we are awake.

Although the app may seem to be something that could help us sleep more as long as we do our part as far as donations are concerned, it may have consequences as sleeping longer and probably going to school or work late despite being bugged by reminders on donating. The app is cool for added sleep but as far as the donation part is concerned, it seems to lack something to really make it effective.

If alarms cannot get you out of bed then perhaps money will. While this is one alarm clock that is reportedly just a concept, it could be a great way to get your attention or wake you up for that matter.

This is a Money Shredding Alarm Clock which tears down your money into shreds if you don’t wake up once the alarm goes off. In the example, a $100 is used and there was no mention if this would be limited to such an amount or would be variable. Personally, making it stick to a $100 bill for it to work would be bolder!

Anyway, unless you are the filthy rich kind, this is one alarm clock that should address your prolonged sleep syndrome issues. It doesn’t mention anything about what happens or a snooze option but doing away with such should be neat to get you up and about.

Rather than go for clocks that offer the necessary alarms or audio playing features, here is one that should be educational as well. The Clocklus from Ji hun Noh is actually a digital clock that comes with the same functionalities you would expect from standard alarm clocks only that it does ask you a math problem before revealing the time.

The questions are categorized according to levels of difficulty, designed for youngsters to sharpen their math. At least with this clock you can expect your kids to get sharpened skills as far as their math is concerned, a subject not many kids really enjoy learning due to lack of practice and understanding.

Here are some new sheepish alarm clocks for you. They are the Mee O’Clock Sheep Alarm Clock which as you would guess, uses sheeps to wake you up on the right side of bed. This should be a great alternative to those annoying alarms from standard alarm clocks.

There are as many as sixteen different voice patterns available. The clock costs about $71 if you want one. It sure reminds me of that cartoon flick,” Timme Time”.

By now you may have read of the iPhone glitch which pointed to alarms failing to alert or awaken people on New Year’s Day. While it does seem a bit sheepish to rely on the iPhone to keep you up to date, some people who have grown fond and reliant on the Apple device find themselves complaining about a so-called glitch which has become a big issue these days.

The iPhone 4 has been receiving numerous complaints because of the issue as Twitter and Facebook have been getting hordes of complaints from the said problem. And the worst part of it is that no fix has yet to be issued, meaning you may want to set a standard alarm clock to wake you up on time for work or school or for whatever appointment you need to attend to for the meantime.

Here is something for the people who have been using their iPhone as an alarm clock. Rather than get up and push those buttons to shut off the alarm, here is one app that only requires you to scream at it to stop. Now that should be something new, especially for the people who hate it when they cannot turn off their alarms when it is time to get up from bed.

The “Yell” option is perhaps the thing that makes it different from the default and other clock apps we have seen for the iPhone. Just in case the Sleep Blaster app interests you, you can download one for $2 over at the iTunes app store.

For the computer geeks, here is a different kind of clock you are sure to want in your room. Similar to what you see when a program is loading, the Progress Bar Clock seems like an inverted thermometer filled with mercury waiting to pop. Similar to what a timeline actually looks like only that it moves in the direction of what time it is.

While this prototype is not for sale just yet, the clever concept could actually be useful. The belt-driven clock is even equipped with 24 alarms that you can configure to sound at whichever time of day those tags are placed.

Never be late with this Morning Countdown Clock which can be a great solution for people who love to take a snooze even after being woken up. It has the usual alarm for the time to get up but the real twist is that it also alerts you when you have to head out that door. Perfect for the people who seem to be habitually late mainly because they find themselves wanting to sleep some more.

It allows you to set two alarms, one for waking up and one for when you’re supposed to head out the door, and the clock will announce the remaining time at the 1 hour mark, the 45, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 3, 2, and one 1 minute marks, 30 seconds, 20 seconds and finally a 10 second countdown. It’s probably rather annoying, but I guess it’s supposed to be that way to keep you on time in the morning.

You can get the Morning Countdown Clock for $33 at the Japan Trend Shop with a choice of white or blue colors.

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. . . .
