I've got no problem waking up in the morning. The City's noise for the start of the day (delivery vans, street cleaners, bottle collectors) do that for me. But for those of you lucky enough to be deep sleepers, you might want to check out this Puzzle Alarm Clock. When the clock goes off, it sends four puzzle pieces in the air. To turn off the alarm, you have to assemble the puzzle pieces back in the clock...or chuck it out the window at a delivery van. Either way, you're up, Sunshine!

$67 too expensive. Found one for $19.95 at MyVirtualZone.com
I got this for $20 on E-bay and it's still overpriced. It works as advertised, but its a 3" cube, very small, very cheap, not worth $20.
