Almost every morning, you wake up to an alarm clock's buzzing noise, but with these alarming wake-up innovations, that annoying sound may become a thing of the past.
From bacon breakfast clocks to sunrise wake-up widgets, these wake-up innovations are sure to get you out of the right side of the bed. Companies are recognizing that people want to sleep in and skip going to work. No one ever wants to get out of bed, but by having unique solutions like an alarm that won't shut off until you solve its quiz, people are becoming more alert and willing to hop out of bed.
These are great examples of companies creating innovative solutions to everyday problems.
