Blowfly Blow
Sometimes waking up to turn off the alarm clock accomplishes nothing. Most people go right back to sleep. After awhile, the alarm clock becomes a routine which most people don't even remember turning them off.
One thing that sometimes wakes you up at night and prevents you from getting your beauty rest is a mosquito or fly; annoyingly buzzing around your bedroom. You can't and won't go back to sleep until you've properly disposed of the intruder. This produces adrenalin and requires movements.
Product Designer Ena Macana has taken that bit of science and designed an alarm clock that encourages your body to create adrenalin so you'll wake up faster. The alarm clock blowfly works like a "blowfly" that at preset time, it escapes from it's pod, lifting off like a little helicopter, flying around meanwhile buzzing to wake you up. The only way to turn it off is to get up, catch it and place it back on it's pod.
BRILLIANT!
Reminds me of a Harry Potter match of quidditch

I'd be real interested in seeing a video of it in action. I want to see how high and fast it flies.
