How many times do you press snooze in the morning? Five more minutes
often turns into an hour, and it's hard to say no to the allure of being
wrapped in a blanket burrito.
India-based designer Sankalp Sinha created an alarm clock that'll make sure you get to work on time. The singNshock delivers an electric shock pulse when the user presses the button, sending microvolts to jump-start the day.
It's just enough electricity to trigger neurological functions, Sinha
says on his site, but the feature is optional. Check out the video,
above, for more.
The device combines an alarm clock (with a tiny bit of taser-like
qualities) with a music player. It has a touchscreen interface with LED
illuminated sides, and can store up to 32GB of music so you wake up to
your favorite song.
The singNshock is currently in its prototype stage.
