some good alarm clocks -
Sfera alarm clock
Here’s an alarm clock with a twist on the Snooze function. The Sfera alarm clock hangs right above your bed, where touching it when it rings will activate the snooze function. It will devilishly retract a little bit higher toward the ceiling before it goes off again, where you will have to increase your reach to deactivate it. Eventually, you’re forced to get out of bed to turn it off, or you could just wear a pair of earplugs and let it drone on and on.
Anemone
What sort of mad engineer does it take to make an alarm clock more annoying? First Clocky, now this. Aaron Tang's Anemone Clock rumbles when the alarm goes off, eventually shaking its way all across your room, forcing you to get up to stop it. But that's not all — it keeps shaking when you pick it up, making it a frustrating exercise just to find the off button. Tang didn't say if the clock had a snooze button so you can repeat this process a few times each morning.
Clocky
Clocky is a clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. When the snooze bar is pressed, Clocky rolls off the table and finds a hiding spot, a new one every day.
Blowfly
nooze no more thanks to the Blowfly alarm clock. It works by launching itself at the preset time, hovers in the air and emits an annoying buzzing noise much like that of a Nat or mosquito. To get the Blowfly alarm clock to shut up, you have to peel back your crusty eyes and catch the little bugger. Not sure how high it flies or where, but if you got low ceilings you might wanna consider your standard alarm clock placed out of arms reach.
Puzzle clock
Nobody sleeps through this!
It wakes you up by firing four puzzle pieces up in the air, and then it is your task to get the pieces and put them back in the alarm clock - it won't turn off until then.
Puzzle clock loos  i want one, tis $59

Can they not invent one to turn back time so you can lie in your pit for longer?

Is that not called setting your clock 20mins fast?

Setting your clock forward 20 minutes actually works as a time machine and lets you sleep for longer 
I'll need to try that 1 tonight.

I think the general idea is that you shock yourself so much that you're 20mins late getting out of bed you jump out, rush to get ready, then when having your breakfast and watching TV you realise you've gained 20mins and can take your time - but at least you're up. Only worked for me once though
