Do you really want to be jarred awake by this thing? I mean, look at it. It has a huge hammer just waiting to ring that bell. But if you are a wrestling fan, maybe that’s just how you want to start your day.

The Wrestling Bell Alarm Clock will continue to ring at the set time until you wake up and shut it off. Or until you roll over and put your spouse in a full Nelson or a figure-four leg lock. Either way you’ll be awake and ready to face your day.

This is one of the more interesting alarm clock concepts we’ve seen lately. Designed by Henrik Amberla, the innovative design of the Milky Way serves two functions.

It functions as an alarm clock of course, but it’s also a nice piece of art. Want to activate the snooze function? Just turn the device. Setting the clock and the alarm is as easy as doing another turning motion. The Milky Way Alarm Clock is only a concept right now sadly.

Here’s yet another time and temperature device. By now you would think that everyone has this info at their fingertips, but I guess not. The Elements Atomic Projection Alarm Clock with Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer is just what it sounds like.

From Oregon Scientific, this clock will automatically set itself to your location within the US, even making adjustments for Daylight Savings Time without you having to do anything. It also sports a projection feature for night time clock reading fun. It will project details like time, weather and alarm on nearly any surface.

Several of the new iPhone docking alarm clocks that I have seen hit the market lately share something in common. Many of them are now sporting dual charge docks. This is a good thing since many homes now have more than one iPod or iPhone vying for that charge dock. The iLuv iMM183 unveiled today is another dual docking alarm clock with some cool features.

Perhaps the most interesting of the features aside from the dual cocks is the integrated weather band radio also with an alert system that puts weather warnings on the front of the clock. The device uses SAME technology to receive local weather info.

I have never had a problem getting out of bed in the morning, my wife on the other hand is worse than my kids. For people who don’t wake up well, Philips has unveiled a new alarm clock called the Wake-up Light.

The clock has a traditional alarm built in and the iPod docking model can wake you to music from your playlist, FM radio, or different nature sounds. The big feature of the device is the light that simulates a sunrise.

Alarm clocks are great for waking you up, but the problem is that they tend to wake your spouse up as well. That might not be a problem, but your spouse may have a different schedule. The Shake and Wake Alarm Clock is a good solution.

It wakes you up by vibrating. Just strap it on your wrist or put it under the pillow. Or uh, elsewhere for a great wake up. Your partner will never know and you will be awake and ready to start your day.

I have seen several iPod/iPhone alarm clocks hit the streets over the last few weeks. A few of them are now sporting dual docks to keep more than one Apple device charged up. Sanyo has jumped into the iPod alarm clock action with a couple new devices today including the DMP-P1 Cube Alarm Clock Radio and the DMP-692 Dual dock music System.

The DMP-692 is one of those snazzy new dual dock devices that can charge your iPhone and your iPod at the same time. The clock has three alarms and can wake you to a buzzer, AM/FM radio, or your favorite playlist. The radio also has an auxiliary input for CD palyers and non-dockable PMPs. A remote controller is included as well.

We’ve seen many a clock around here, many are pretty sophisticated or feature clever design. But sometimes you just need a big ass bell to wake you from dreamland. No fancy design, no clever features. Just a big and loud bell.

That’s what the Bell Alarm Clock from designer Sam Hecht is all about. It’s a combination of a modern clock, with an old fashioned bell that will yank you awake and ring your bell first thing everyday. And you can pay $65 for the privilege. The Bell Alarm Clock is available in red, black and white.

We’re used to seeing alarm clocks, digital photo frames, and iPod/iPhone docks that are boring and simple. But lately manufacturers have been delivering some more elegant products. Like the upcoming ICF-CL75iP, which features a crisp 7 inch color WVGA (800 x 480) LCD, 1GB of built-in storage, and a retractable iPod/iPhone dock.

The photos on the screen can be pulled from your iPod or iPhone, or loaded onto the unit via USB. Of course, you can also store and play music and movies (MP4, Motion JPEG and AVI) on the device. They also threw in an FM/AM radio with 39 presets.

This USB hub doubles as an alarm clock, which could be a good thing if you have a desk job that has you falling asleep at the computer. Just set it to go off when you want to wake up and pretend you’re busy. It has 4 USB 2.0 ports that can be rotated 90 degrees.

Some other features include a transfer rate of up to 480Mbps and the alarm clock has a calendar, built in clock and an alarm function that plays 5 tunes. It’s an odd combination for sure and comes in orange, green and blue.

You’ve experienced Flashdance. You were enthralled by Riverdance. You were captivated by dancing with the stars. Now experience the latest dance sensation. The dancefloor: Your alarm clock. The dancers: Your fingers.

It’s time to dress up your digits and have your friends judge the dance routines as you take your clock by storm with the Finger Dance Alarm Clock. This clock will keep ringing unless your fingers are able to hit the correct sequence as depicted by the lights.

I can’t think of a geekier way to wake up. Vader should have had the time displayed on his eyes in this fashion throughout all the movies, just to be helpful to others. Because I don’t remember seeing many clocks in the Star Wars universe. In fact, don’t let Lucas see this, or he just might re-edit the whole damn series to include such a thing.

For $30 you’ll get an AM/FM radio and Vader’s head will also act as a speaker for your digital audio player. It’s pretty cool, but what I was really hoping for was to wake up to Vader’s breathing.

We’ve seen many alarm clocks that will wake you up in unusual ways. The Wake n’ Bacon clock comes to mind. That’s because we need some incentive to wake up. Whether you have a hangover or are just dead tired, you need a clock that makes a statement.

Something that says, Get your ass up or I’ll blow you to bits. That’s what this Dynamite alarm clock does. Wake up every morning and defuse a bomb. And because some of you actually need to be told, this is not the alarm you should take with you while traveling. The manufacturer also advises that you not leave the clock anywhere that it might be mistaken for a real bomb.

The latest conceptual iPod dock is called the E-Pod Dock and has a lot of functionality. It’s compatible with your iPhone, iPod touch and iPod classic and functions as a speaker, movie projector and an alarm clock.

Forget its compact size, it will offer you quality hi-fidelity audio. Quite a device. As long as we’re dreaming, how about if it tweets everything you are watching and listening to. One thing is for sure, it would look good on any late night talk show host’s desk.

Alarm clocks are noisy because noise is the one thing you can’t stand in the morning. It works so good that the alarm has remained basically the same for years. What else could possibly entice you to get up and face your day? Maybe you’d be more apt to wake up for a well rounded breakfast.

That’s the thinking behind this French designed alarm clock. Instead of waking aggravated and hitting the snooze button, you’ll wake up to a glass of OJ. Just set the alarm, choose your breakfast and go to sleep. When you wake up, you’ll have a breakfast all ready for you.
