I've worked a lot of morning shows over the years, and when you get up before 4am, the snooze bar is not something to be played with. (I am not a morning person, and if given the chance would hit the snooze bar for 14 hours until it was time for bed again). So, I used to set three alarms (two on batteries, just in case) that went off in 5-minute increments and were placed farther and farther from my bed to drag/force my tired self off my pillow and onto my feet. The whole thing is either really embarrassing or kind of pride-inducing, depending on who I'm talking to. Anyway, I spotted this in the latest MacWorld (and honestly, reacted with that same, "I used to walk to school uphill both ways," kind of nostalgia). Set the alarm, and when it goes off it runs away. Literally. Right off the nightstand. And to stop the incessant noise, you have to get up and catch it. Kind of takes the fun out of the snooze bar challenge every morning. If you have any other suggestion on how to drag myself out of my morning coma, comment away...
