Blowfly Alarm Clock Annoys You Awake

I’m a pretty light sleeper, but my wife has to rely on me to make sure she gets up. Still, in the category of “Are you really sure we need this?” comes the Blowfly.

Many sleepers experience that after they turn off the alarm clock they go on sleeping. One thing that sometimes wakes you up at night and prevents you from sleeping is the mosquito or blowfly when flying around your room. You can’t and don’t want to fall asleep again until you’ve caught it. These produces adrenalin and requires movements. The alarm clock blowfly works like a “blowfly” that at the desire time it escapes from a cage in your room. It starts moving and producing sound around you - to turn it off you should catch it and put it back in the cage. Source: Yanko Design

We Say: Silly me! I always just put the alarm clock waaaaay across the room so I’d have to get up to throw it … I mean turn it off. On the other hand, I could see this thing being definitely annoying enough to wake you up if it gets sucked into a ceiling fan or gets trapped somewhere between a wall and something, bouncing back and forth. And it kinds of reminds me of some old toys where you’d yank on a lanyard and the “copter” part would fly into the air. Could be a nice toy for your cat, too!
