@paulsammut
i think you're missing one important point : ramos alarm clock doesn't/can't solve the wake-up problem ( people just have to go to the bed early and have a purpose to wake up early ) and just another alarm clock screaming at 6 o'clock in the morning isn't "sexy".
If one would buy it, it would be because the nixie tube and remote control. It looks retro (=good ) but you can remote control it and it wakes you up by the "super hipster nerd" way ! I think you should remove LCD model or if you insist to keep it , give it a modern look ( aluminium case etc ).
- veyron 15y agotl;dr: this addresses a fundamentally different problem, which would exist even if you went to sleep early The problem with the alarm clock is that people traditionally put the clock on a night stand or somewhere easily accessible from the bed. At that point, if you can hit snooze from the bed, you most likely will doze off. Most of the time, even if you went to sleep early, there will be some internal resistance to actually leaving the bed (it's warm :) If you put the alarm far away, then you are forced to get up, and by that point you've already fought most of the resistance to actually getting up. Problem there is that the visual clock is too far away from the bed. The real problem that this solves is decoupling the physical clock presence from the alarm silence mechanism, forcing you to physically leave the bed. Even if you get up early, you still have to overcome the desire to leave the bed.
- xxqs 15y agoI keep my alarm about 10 meters from my bed, and I got up and put it for 20 minutes later... about 4 or 5 times this morning. Can't remember for sure :)
