I normally have to rise at 7 to get to work on time.

The smart thing to do is not to rise at 7, instead I set the clock for 6:50. If I really am so lazy that morning I can't get up right away, I hit snooze and sleep 10 more minutes - but I'll still get up on time.

I am ALWAYS on time and NEVER Late.

My parents used a similar trick...they set the clocks in their cars 5 or 10 minutes fast to make them rush to work - always getting there well before punch in time. ]]>Aug 28th 2007 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/Aug 28th 2007 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/Aug 28th 2007 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/
My trick is similar. All my clocks are set 10 minutes too fast. My cars clock is set fifteen minutes. The problem is that I know it, so I always calculate that I have ten more minutes then it says I do. ]]>Aug 28th 2007 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/Aug 28th 2007 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/http://chumby.com)

Hmmm... what about a clock that requires three different shocks before snoozing... maybe that would work on ME!]]>Aug 28th 2007 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/accelerometers-let-you-abuse-your-alarm-clock/Aug 29th 2007 12:18AM
