A lot of us like to pretend that we don’t have a problem getting out of bed in the morning. We use every excuse in the book, including the old standby “I just really like to sleep.” Yeah, who doesn’t? There are some people out there who aren’t going to get out of bed when their alarm goes off the first time, no matter if they got three or thirteen hours of sleep the night before. These are the kinds of people who have a personal relationship with the snooze button, one that they celebrate at least three or four times every morning. It’s time to break up with your snooze button and, like most destructive relationships, it’s best to go cold turkey.
Not only are you without a snooze button, but with the Alien Hunt Alarm Clock (ThinkGeek, $18.99) you’ll have to defend your life (and our planet) from extraterrestrials. I know what you’re thinking, that aliens aren’t real and this is completely ridiculous. Are you sure about that? That’s what I thought, so maybe you should listen up. Once your alarm goes off, it’s time to get to work. Unlike last time, when that alien pops out of his egg protector you’ll be ready. The alarm goes off and you spring into action, swiftly picking up your laser light gun. The only way to silence the alien and defeat these creatures is to shoot the alarm clock, which you do with dazzling precision. Earth is safe once again, and it’s all thanks to you. But remember, if you go back to sleep, the aliens win. So it’s probably best to get out of bed.
Even if you don’t believe in alternate life forms, you’ve gotta admit that it would be pretty freaking scary to wake up to a screeching alien every morning. But if that’s what it takes to get your sorry keaster out of bed, then that’s just something you’re gonna have to learn to live with.
