For when the urge to hit snooze and doze a few moments more is irresistible.
The Terror Clock is designed to cataput you headlong into a state of fully-conscious panic - a cold sweat on your brow and your heart trying to batter its way out through your ribcage. A constantly varying repertoire of
spine-chilling tricks include: smell of burning, sound of downstairs window being broken, the booming voice of the most-feared schoolmaster from your youth, changing the time so you think you have overslept by two hours, and perhaps even a short'n'sharp electric shock.
OK - so it's not the most pleasant start to the day, but you sure as hell won't be dozing off again.
not for nervous dispositions

I would like one which could terrify me into a dead faint at 1am sharp every night. |
|
| |
I moved house to near a military training area. the first time I was woken by automatic gunfire at 7am on a saturday morning was fairly exciting! |
|
| |
[GW] I recommend administering a sharp blow to the cranium with the Terror Clock - has the same effect. |
|
| |
Design element: red dynamite sticks strapped to the back of the clock with black electrical tape. |
|
| |
Just make sure you don't bring it along on your next airplane trip, jack. |
|
| |
Good point [krelnik], for a minute there I was thinking a travel alarm model would be cute. |
|
| |
Wouldn't we just generate a pavlovian reaction to simply turn off the alarm the next time there's a real fire? |
|
| |
When I was a teen, my bed was in an open carport area, in Hawaii. Long story. Anyway, I found that a cat fight under the bed is a very effective wake-up call. Even at 3:00am. |
|
| |
If you record your girlfriends' screams, that ought to do it after you split up. AAaaaaaahhhhahh, and your like, oh sweet jesus not her. |
|
| |
Beeping alarms already have this effect on me. That's why I use a clock radio. |
|
| |
I need this. I always end up oversleeping and missing my early morning class. |
|
| |
Terror Bedfellow also does the trick, Saturday mornings. |
