Alarm clock test for awakeness | |||||||||||||||||
Ever sleepwalk over to the alarm clock and then turn it off, only to awaken hours later in a panic? If so, you could benefit from an alarm clock that wouldn't turn off until you successfully completed some test that requires acute awakeness, such as a complex multiplication problem. It would have to be something that you couldn't do while half-awake.

I recall seeing on half bakery an idea that the top of the alarm clock would be a ball that would be ejected from the clock and then roll around the room. You would have to fidn the ball and put it back on the clock to turn it off. Then again, I might have been dreaming when I read that.
I have seen an alarm clock which has a plastic jigsaw puzzle fitted in the top. when the alarm sounds, it ejects the jigsaw (about 5 pieces) into the air. The only way to turn the alarm off is to gather all the pieces from wherever they landed and fit them back into the top of the clock. or smash it with a hammer.
