With the random alarm clock you will never have the problem of becoming familiar with the sound and so not being woken up as much…
Every time the alarm goes off it randomly selects an alarm… one morning it might ring like a bell, the next you are woken up by some radio station, then that annoying
voice telling you it is 7:30 and 1 second… 2 seconds… 3 seconds etc. and other times there might be a loud gong…
Being awakened by an unexpected sound is going to leave you a lot more alert than the same alarm every day…

Especially if you're woken by the sound of one hand clapping. Croissant. |

Very good, as long as you can disable that awful beeping
that wakes me with an urge to kill...
|
|
| |
And you'll be so used to the noise that silence (dog whistle?) will wake you one day at 7:30. |
|
| |
Um... I can see this being a real problem... when it goes
off I don't know whether to get up, answer the phone,
answer the door, throw things at the cat, etc. Much too
confusing. |

I look forward to being forced into the world of the living as the alarm clock produces a recorded tirade:
"Get up you lazy s*@^head!!" one morning, or "What are you doing in bed with my WIFE!?!?!?" |
|
| |
However, I think this device might suffer from its own success though...Its a great idea, deserves a croissant because it would definitely wake me up... therein lies the problem: I'd destroy it by the end of the week for ruining my much loved lack-a-daysical laziness in the morning |

Every day, get up to different sounds. Croissant. |
|
| |
I imagine one could download new "sound packages" for it too? |
|
| |
nothing would get me more motivated to move like the sound of a torrent of diareah eminating from my bedside table. |
|

If you're going to be a disgusting fool at least be an accurate one. |

It appears that [industrial] created an account in 2002, posted this anno a couple of weeks later, received his due comeuppance from the two fine ladies, and was never heard from again. |

My alarm clock has gone random also, but it has achieved this status by emitting ghost chimes several hours before it is set to wake me. |
|

I like this idea. It makes sense and sounds fun. I would have
trouble for a few seconds, going to sleep wondering what
the sound might be in the morning. But, I just love
anticipation. Almost like opening a little present eveyy
morning. I bun it. |
