Lego Star Wars Alarm Clock

1 Comment / Gizmo of the Day, Miscellaneous / By /

This alarm clock marries two of my favorite items together including Star Wars and LEGOs. The clock’s exterior is built from LEGO pieces while the clock features Japanese Quartz movement for the actual timepiece. The LEGO Star Wars Alarm Clock includes a buildable Blaster Turret and 2 minifigs (a Stormtrooper and Chewbacca).

In addition to the geekiness of combining Star Wars and LEGOs, the alarm can actually wake up the sleepy geeks too with a crescendo alarm which gets louder until acknowledged.

basketball alarm clockWoot! Another crazy alarm clock – this one makes you shoot hoops to disable snooze the alarm clock. By the time you make a basket, you’re probably going to be pretty worked up and awake.

I think after day one, I’d probably give up and just let the alarm continue!

Screaming Meanie 220 Alarm Clock

Screaming Meanie 220

I can remember when I used to live at home with my parents in high school. I was blessed to be one of those people who could fall asleep easily. Unfortunately, I was cursed when it came to waking up. My mother would hear the alarm clock going off, but a lot of the time, it either took me several minutes to be awoken from the noise, or I wouldn’t wake up at all and she would have to come in there and jostle me around. The Screaming Meanie 220 is for people like me, the geeks who just can’t wake up!

This cool looking alarm clock has three different volume settings on it. The lowest is 70 decibels which is like an average alarm clock. The medium level is bumped up to 95 decibels. That level is said to wake up most heavy sleepers. The highest volume level it will go to is 120 decibels. This is horribly loud and can be heard up to a mile away. Just imagining that level next to my bed makes me think that you probably won’t just hear it, you might feel it too. Whether you are a heavy sleeper or hard of hearing, this alarm clock should work for you!

Gimme!

Review: aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock – wakes you at the optimal point in your sleep cycle

Gizmo of the Day, Recommended, Reviews, Sports, Health & Fitness, Outdoors / By /

axbo sleep phaseFollowing up on the heels of the SleepTracker is a sleek, gorgeously designed alarm clock from European company, aXbo, that uses an accompanying wristband to track your body’s movements throughout your sleep.

Based on those movements, it can determine where you are in your sleep cycle. Research has shown that there is an optimum point in your sleep cycle to awaken to feel refreshed.

Set your aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock for the latest time that you wish to awake. It will start looking for your optimal waking point 30 minutes prior to that and will sound an alarm, which include some more gentle nature sounds.

Having tried the aXbo, there is no question that it finds a better point in time to awaken. Is it extremely accurate? That’s hard to tell based only on how refreshed you feel, because how well you sleep and how energetic you feel depends on many factors outside of just your ideal wake time.

The aXbo has a unique, yet easy to use interface and the buttons have an ideal feel to them. It’s easy to get lost in the semi-transparent display as well. aXbo recharges via USB or the included adapter.
