Good Morning, Bacon!

This guy named Matty Sallin has created the best alarm clock in the world. It’s called “Wake n’Bacon” and it’s just what it sounds like. You set the clock for when you want to get up, you go to sleep, and then in the morning, instead of the rude awakening to the horrible BEEP BEEP BEEP of your normal routine. The gentle aroma of bacon wafts it way to your nose and you are drawn to it. Not only is it a better way to wake up, but it’s a nice breakfast snack. Here’s Matty’s explanation of why they built such a wonderful thing:
Waking up by force is physically and spiritually jarring, butwe must do it nearly all the time. By interview and direct observation, we found a number of ways in which common alarm clocks could be improved. Many are simple conveniences, but the most essential finding was that most people eventually become “immune” to their alarms. To that end, we propose a plugin architecture where the alarm triggers any number of seperate modules, similar to that of an electric timer with a snooze button.
