Task-Oriented Alarm Clock Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'I Can't Wake Up!' Alarm Stops Consumers from Hitting Snooze

— March 29, 2017 — Tech
For many, getting out of bed in the morning can be next to impossible, especially when hitting snooze is so easy -- however with the 'I Can't Wake Up!' app, groggy consumers are much less likely to sleep in.

The alarm clock is available on both iOS and Android, and can be customized to suit each consumer's needs. I Can't Wake Up! can require consumers to complete up to eight different tasks before the alarm shuts off, which stimulate both their minds and bodies. These are called: "Math, Memory, Rewrite, Order, Pairs, Repeat, Shake," and "Barcode." The latter is the most unique, as it requires consumers to get out of bed and scan the barcode on a product from around their home.

For those who've managed to master the tasks so that they can get more sleep, the difficulty settings can be adjusted, ensuring that they don't snooze through their morning activities.
