    LONDON (Reuters) - Can't get out of bed in the morning?



    Scientists at MIT's Media Lab in the United States have invented an alarm clock called Clocky to make even the doziest sleepers, who repeatedly hit the snooze button, leap out of bed.


    After the snooze button is pressed, the clock, which is equipped with a set of wheels, rolls off the table to another part of the room.


    "When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep," New Scientist magazine said Tuesday.

    wouldn't help me when I really need it... I can apparently do quite complex things in my sleep

    like find my ringing cellphone in my pants pocket in the bathroom, call my boss "Dad" and then hang up on him
    walk across my apartment complex to buy a soda from the machine and end up at a friends house,jamming my key(to my apt) in the door
    and other more embarassing things... I guess it's possible I'm awake and just don't remember
