The World's Biggest Alarm Clock





(Above: Just a watermelon.)

Are you a heavy sleeper? A REALLY heavy sleeper? I am. I usually have at least two alarms set to go off if I plan to wake at an early hour. Unless I'm scared senseless by a beeping, blaring, screeching alarm, my brain will happily drift back into oblivion.

So I'm thinking of investing in the handy little devise shown in this video. I think it might just do the trick.

I am a very, very heavy sleeper too. When I put on an alarm on the highest volume and as many repetitions possible, everyone else in the house wakes up-except for me that is! It makes my mother (who is a very light sleeper) very angry and irritable towards me, because the alarm can be heard through the walls! Ooops :P

Love the watermelon.

Just yesterday I tried to smother my phone with a pillow, because it rang while I was asleep. (Unfortunately I was still asleep, so I actually tried to smother the spot next to my phone, and was eventually reduced to answering it and going "ugghuhh huh yhhhh" at it.)

That is not JUST a watermellon
That is a watermellon planning of taking over the world.
The JUST is incorrect.

So this one time I'm still mostly asleep, and am attempting to shut off my alarm clock. My glass of water is right next to the clock. I usually grab my alarm clock and tilt it to my face to shut it off and see the time, but that day I grabbed the wrong item. You can probably figure out what happened after that. Far more effective then the alarm, for the record.

i have a question. how come you don't do contests or library chats and stuff like that anymore?

That is CRAZY.
I'm not a heavy sleeper: I'll wake up to the alarm. I'm just lazy, so I'll slap it off and go back to sleep. I have four different alarms go off, when I have to get up early. Two are next to my bed, and the others are across the room on my dresser. One of them has flashing lights, which really helps, especially when I have to work at six, like I did today.

I watched the video. It looks like it would hurt.

What's the watermelon got to do with it, though? Although it is funny.
