Clocky the rolling alarm clock

I know several people that could use this:

Scientists have created an alarm clock that simply doesn't know when to stop... until you wake up. 'Clocky' has an ingenious way for rousing even the most dedicated morning dozer...by rolling off the bedside table after you hit the snooze button.

Behaving like a troublesome pet that aims to wake you up, it allows you just one press of the snooze button because when the alarm goes off, and you hit snooze, it rolls off the surface it is sitting on and finds a hiding spot.

The contraption, devised by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, zooms away on a set of wheels to some other part of the room, finding a different place every day, reports New Scientist. The direction that it travels is completely random. This means that when the alarm goes off again, you are going to have to get up to hunt for Clocky to turn off the alarm.

When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the sleepiest owner from nodding off again.
