The iLuv MM178 Vibe Plus is one hardcore alarm clock, with seven different buzzer sounds, an iPod dock, treble and bass control, and most importantly, a bed-shaker. This intense alarm clock will vibrate a bed or a pillow in order to wake up the heaviest of sleepers. If this doesn't wake you up in the mornings, I don't know what will!

In addition to all those practical features, the iluv MM178 Vibe Plus has a sleek, modern design with a substantial back-lit LCD that shows the date and time.
