The Stretching Clock by Seung-hee Ryu is one of the most infuriating yet ingenious ideas to happen to alarm clocks in a long time. In order to remain sleeping, one must move to turn it off, and I am not talking about getting up and walking to the other side of the room in order to hit the 'Snooze' button.
Instead, I am talking about pulling on the Stretching Clock in a motion similar to one you would do while yawning, thus forcing you to wake up. Would the Stretching Clock disturb your slumber effectively?
