10. Ruggie: The World's Best Alarm Clock
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/961424878/ruggietm-the-worlds-best-alarm-clock?ref=popular Right, real talk, I don't trust morning people. Unfortunately, I recognise that they are the ones who set business hours and, being the chill night-owls the rest of us are, we'll probably continue to just go with it. So, if the morning-people seem to have the privilege of dictating everybody else's body clock by insisting that we get up and do business with them at some ungodly hour, we're going to need a bit of help resisting the snooze button. The Ruggie works like a cross between your alarm clock, you life coach and your mum. When the alarm goes off, it can only be silenced by standing on the soft, memory foam mat for at least three seconds, giving your brain time to adjust to the shock and horror of being woken up. You can even programme the Ruggie to say nice things to you whilst you slowly regain consciousness. The ethos behind Ruggie is that old chestnut, "the early bird catches the worm". The idea is that you will use all that extra time in the morning to do something productive, as opposed to peering bleary-eyed at BBC breakfast whilst dribbling toothpaste down your shirt.
