Put Away Money While You Sleep

An alarm clock with a coin operated snooze button, so that if you don't get up, you at least do something useful with the loose change you dumped out of your pocket last night.

Interpretation of PiggyClock idea [pjtaylor, Aug 30 2008]

(?) Alarm clock sends embarassing tweets if you snooze http://www.psfk.com...asses-snoozers.html

Brilliant!

I know someone with an alarm set for 4:45am, who routinely shuts it off and snoozes on 'til 6:30am.

Wait a minute. Just imagine the effort to offer this device with a straight face! Well worth developing this.

Time for a change.

//the focus required to post a coin probably exceeds that critical point where you can't get back to sleep// I would imagine that that is the point of this idea.

Even more of a bun if you make it multidenominational, ie. insert 8x (given that most currencies operate 1x, 2x, 5x, denominations). This would require you to scrounge around, and wake up a bit.

Although sleep-a-holics, such as myself, would sequester the necessary funds prior to slumber, and place them in an appropriate locality.

This idea is real good, genius.

Charities could give these out. That way, you "buy" a few more minutes sleep by donating. When it's full, take it to the charity and they empty it.

Great for children instead of piggy banks...

If you've got no money left to sleep in, you need to get up and go get yo'self a jawb!

Prisoner: No! Not the Sessame Street song again!
Interrogator: Give us three more names, and we'll let you sleep for half an hour.

Another brilliant TC idea. Just needs a swiper to take your ATM card.
