Top Alarm Clocks for Cubicle Warriors



Stumble it!

Being a cubicle warrior means that you’re usually leashed to the time clock. To make sure you get to work on time, you need a good alarm clock. Maybe somebody will even buy you one as a Christmas present!

Fly out of bed

I love helicopters. Don’t all guys think they’re cool?!

This clock merges a loud alarm with a flying helicopter key. When it’s time to wake up, the chopper shoots into the air. You have to get out of bed, find where the key landed, and get it back into the base unit before the buzzer sounds.

I just hope the dog doesn’t run off with the key.

Projection information station

With this sweet clock, you’ll never have to worry about not seeing the time from a certain angle or position. It’s all projected for you, wherever you desire.

21 alarms!

Do you and your partner have separate alarm clocks? No longer!

The Neverlate Executive Alarm Clock has a total of 21 alarms, including “his” and “hers” settings. And you can both pick from 4 buzzers or 20 preset radio stations.

Did I mention that there’s also an auxiliary jack, so you can listen to your MP3 player through this unit? And it even has a USB port on the back to keep your player charged. You gotta love that!

Green time-keeper

If you’re trying to help out the environment, check out this water-powered clock. Fill it up with plain old H2O, and it will run for 2 to 3 months.

But this thing is more than an alarm clock. It’s a clock, alarm, timer, and thermometer. And you change modes by rotating it!

Chase that clock

If you find it particularly hard to wake up in the morning, try Clocky. When the alarm goes off, Clocky jumps off the nightstand and runs around your bedroom. You have to get up and find it to turn off the alarm.

You can set a short snooze interval before Clocky runs off, but you better get up quick!

Shake it up

sonic boom dual alarm clock

If you’re a really sound sleeper, check out this beast of a clock. It’s got an alarm loud enough to be called a “sonic boom.” But the coolest feature is its bed shaker.

Put the little disc under your pillow or mattress, and it literally shakes you awake. It could be a great solution for people who are hard of hearing or just darn stubborn.

Optimal waking time

sleeptracker wake up monitor

We all know that the body goes through different sleep cycles. One of the keys to a good night’s rest is waking up at the right time during those cycles.

This is where the Sleeptracker Wake Up Monitor comes in. It monitors your sleep cycle and wakes you at the best time during your desired wake up window. Instead of being woken up during deep sleep, you’ll get up when you’re almost awake anyway. Cool, right?

Stylish function

Wake to the sun

It’s hard for us to imagine, but people used to live largely by the sun. They’d get up with the sun and go to bed shortly after sundown.

Now you can at least rise with the sun. This device will awaken you with gradually increasing light. And it has a typical buzzer for people who don’t think the light is enough to wake them.

Did I mention it doubles as a fully adjustable bedside lamp?
