Inflatable pillow alarm clock
Just a step or two short from having a bed that simply tosses you onto the floor, in Japan (of course) they're now
punishing their oversleepers with an alarm clock that inflates a pillow under your back and literally forces you to
wake up.

Who the hell sleeps on his/her back?
What would be cool with this thing though is if you can use it in reverse. A lot of people with lower back problems need to lie down with their knees pointing up towards the ceiling. This can be achived by putting a large pillow under your knee caps. But as soon as you doze of into sleep you'll most likely turn to your side and curl up making it very uncomfortable with the pillow there. Then it would be nice if this invention could deflate itself after a period of time when you've had your knees high. Does that make any sense?

Quite comfortable if you sleep stomach down.

I'm sure the whine from the blower will do a good job waking most people up. (Alarm turns on vaccum 5 feet from ears.)
