Clocky: Beat the Snooze
Why is Clocky better than a Smartphone alarm?
+
A recent study found that 1 in 4 people who use their Smartphone alarm oversleep! Smartphones make it so easy to hit snooze or even turn off the alarm before you get up. Clocky ensures even the heaviest sleepers get up on time with it's loud alarm and because he forces you out of bed! Moreover, the process of finding Clocky wakes you up and leaves you energized.
How does Clocky jump and run?
+
You can choose to turn on Clocky's wheels so that when the alarm sounds, he will leap from your nightstand and run around randomly around your bedroom. Or you can set Clocky to stay put and use like a regular alarm.
Can I snooze Clocky and use like a regular alarm clock?
+
Yes! You can snooze one time if you choose. Or you can disable snooze completely. Clocky will only run away after you snooze (if you have turned snooze on). Limiting the number of snoozes will prevent the drowsiness caused by repeated snoozing. You can set Clocky to stay put and use like a regular alarm clock.
Is Clocky good for Heavy Sleepers?
+
Clocky is great for all ages- students and adults who need to get up on time for school or work. He is designed with all types of sleepers in mind, even the heaviest deep sleepers.
Is this the original Clocky?
+
Yes! There is only one original Clocky and this is it, invented out of the top engineering school, MIT. Refrain from buying knockoffs which may look like the real thing. They will not work!
