now you guys might know me as a peppy big personality in a small package type of character but believe it or not I'm not actually this wired 24 hours a day the real reason that employees at linus media group are allowed to roll in anywhere between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m. every day is that I am NOT a morning person but it's 2017 why struggle in the morning like some kind of neanderthal when technology can help you wake up like a god so here's five weird gadgets to help you get yo ass out of bed in the morning and here's a message from our sponsor Sennheiser for helping us make this video their new HD one Wireless in ears feature a sleek design great sound performance Bluetooth 4.1 apdex and take anywhere mobility check them out at the link below I'm basically in an abusive relationship with the snooze button in exchange for my gentle sometimes less gentle caress it gives me more time away from the tedium of reality I know that I'm suffering in the long term by not just getting up but the call of the void is just so alluring but what if there was no snooze well the Ruggie is an alarm clock that's more like a bath mat when your alarm goes off it rings and rings and rings until you actually get out of bed and stand on the mat by default you have to stand on the ruggy for three seconds for it to turn off but if you think you're the kind of person who's liable to you know just roll back into bed and close your eyes again or scroll on your phone instead of actually getting up you can use the rug ease included software to increase the standing time to up to thirty seconds and if you step off of it the time resets you can also upload an mp3 that will play after the alarm though I'm not sure why you can't just change the alarm sound and the Ruggie website has a bunch of inspiring affirmations to choose from my personal favorite is I acknowledge my own self-worth and my confidence is soaring and there are some intentionally funny ones too like the I need to kick some ice come on you can do it do it now and have a wonderful day but realistically I would definitely find a way around that one I need something a little more unpredictable meet everyone's favorite self driving do disturber clucky now clock he actually does have a snooze button but you're only allowed to press it once before he drives himself off your nightstand and peels off down the hall this lovable rabble-rousers guaranteed to get you up and atom and scare the ever-loving piss out of your pets he comes in a bunch of fun colors James chose the more expensive chrome version just to screw with me but you can get whatever works for you setup is about as easy as could be with intuitively labeled buttons and you can even turn off clock keys driving action by simply poking him in the eye the only drag is that he requires four sold separately triple-a batteries and for 40 dollars for a clock on wheels I personally appreciate a rechargeable lithium-ion inside maybe with a magnetic charging cable so that he can still be free to hit the open road so I'm looking forward to a v2 but clucky's morning shenanigans are also easily countered so maybe you're one of those weird cold shower types looking for the most hardcore possible wakeup solution maybe you want an alarm clock that actually electrifies you yes my friends the padlock shock clock delivers an electrifying jolt to your body so you will literally jump out of bed the idea is that the watch's beeps vibes and yes shocks will give you an adrenaline-fueled start to your day and actually the pavlok can also be used to break or form habits so pressing on the watch will deliver from 1 to 5 shocks of an intensity of your choosing the highest setting is a boat is painful by the way as the $130 price tag so theoretically the idea here is that you can use it to condition yourself to associate your cravings for sugar or your nasty thoughts about your coworkers with a short sharp zap that are you pavlok recommends that you set aside 5 minutes per day to shock yourself while you perform your bad habit for 5 to 10 days or some of them can actually even be automated thanks to integration with if this than that so you can get shocked whenever you buy stuff you don't need on Amazon use social media or hell every 30 minutes just because and if you're a nail biter or a compulsive finger sniffer you can actually even program it to shock you whenever you move your hand up to your face moving on to something a little less masochistic the Philips wakeup light is probably the most civilized item on our list gently rousing you from slumber by simulating the Rising Sun over a twenty to forty minute period depending on your preference the light gradually changes color from red to yellow becoming brighter and even playing some gentle nature sounds as it reaches your wakeup time the idea is that the bulbs light will signal your body to begin suppressing melatonin the hormone responsible for regulating sleep and wakefulness so that you'll wake up in the morning feeling more like a professional youtuber and less like his evil twin sour pants Mik Grogg face the lights got a well-organised touch interface you can snooze your alarm by touching anywhere on the surface and get this you can even use it as a lamp brilliant literally and you can also use it backwards simulating sunset to help you unwind at the end of the day now 135 dollars might sound a little steep but if you live in a part of the country where raw turns his back on you for nine months out of the year the wake up light is also supposed to help fight seasonal affective disorder I just wish it's clean look wasn't upset by the non-removable FM antenna bringing us finally to number five if you guys are
