<\/a>Dan and I have very different ideas about waking up in the morning.\u00a0 I want to make myself believe that I’ve slept longer, so I set my clock a 20 minutes fast and set the alarm to go off at least a half hour before I need to get up.\u00a0 That way I can hit the snooze button a few times before starting the day.\u00a0 Dan thinks this is ridiculous strategy.\u00a0 He feels that if you want more sleep, then just sleep longer, rather than wake yourself up every 9 minutes or so.<\/p>\nI see his logic, but\u00a0snoozing\u00a0works best for me.\u00a0 If I sleep until the minute I need to get out of bed, I feel robbed.\u00a0 I feel like I have to spring out of bed and go! Go! Go! – rather\u00a0 than take it easy and make my way into the world at my own pace.<\/p>\n
But i have to admit…I have tried to change.\u00a0 For the benefit of my husband who probably wouldn’t even use an alrm clock if it wasn’t for me.\u00a0 I figured I owed him as much.\u00a0\u00a0I tried moving the alarm clock across the room so I’d have to physically get out of bed to hit the snooze button, but that didn’t work.\u00a0 I’d crawl right back into bed, close my eyes and wait for the next alarm.\u00a0 No go.\u00a0 I eventually just moved it closer, figuring it was just easier on both of us.<\/p>\n
Then, the other day, my friend Andre alerted me to a brilliant idea.\u00a0 His name is Clocky and he is an alarm clock that hides on you when you hit the snooze button.<\/p>\n
