Apartment Thought #84

Invention Idea #002: Alarm Clock with Puzzle Snooze Button

Its undeniable that everybody hits the Snooze Button for an extra 5-10 minutes of nappy naps. But those 5-10 becomes 15-20s, and eventually you're late to class. You fail your class because you just cant resist hitting that big button for some extra relaxation. 

Now what if...what if that Snooze Button can only be accessed by solving a puzzle? The alarm clock will be equipped with an electronic puzzle, and completing that puzzle will grant access to the beloved button (puzzle options: Picture puzzle...um...this is still a work in progress). To make things more interesting, the alarm will still be going off, whilst you are doing the puzzle. When you actually get to the Snooze Button, you can either push it or get up and start your day. But once done completing the puzzle, your brain is already working and you dont want to go back to bed anymore! 
Okay okay, What if you cant figure out the puzzle? Well your alarm clock will continue to ring for another 10 minutes. You could TRY to go back to bed, but lets be honest, if you're tired enough to sleep through an alarm clock going off for 10 minutes straight, you need to change your sleeping habits. 
The Puzzle Alarm Clock will come in a variety of Colors to match any home decor.
