I saw that CrunchGear, via Gizmodo, via coolest-gadgets (heh) was today touting the Progressive Wake Alarm Clock from Hammacher Schlemmer. As these sites generally feature cool looking items rather than hard reviews, I thought I’d write about my disappointing experience with this Progressive Wake-up clock.
As my girlfriend will confirm, I’m generally terrible at waking up. Most mornings when my alarm sounds I’ll reach over and turn it off before falling back asleep without even realising it. I’d love to be the type of person who wakes gracefully, but unless I sleep till mid-morning it’s usually a jarring experience, so when I first heard about this alarm clock I was quite excited.
