Nothing will get you out of bed quicker every morning than some patriotic music, a flag raising and the boom of a cannon from this alarm clock. You are probably used to waking up with the flag at full mast anyway.

Put this Robot Alarm Clock on your bedside table and make him bend to your will. And that is a literal bending since all of his joints are actually movable and poseable. He has some alligator clamps on the end of his hands to hold pictures or anything else you want kept close to you as you sleep. When the alarm does go off, the eye will light up as well.

Despite the fact that toddlers can have their own cellphones now, landlines have still not completely died out. Under most circumstances, I find this to be a complete waste of money—but if you have one of these Duracell phones it’s excusable (until they make a Skype version that is). Also available in photo flim and Coca Cola versions (pictured after the break).
My guess is that these ceramic heads on pillows are intended as some mystical way to achieve pleasant dreams, but their creepiness suggests that placing them in your bedroom would most likely result in nightmares.

Waking up in the morning is annoying and mosquitoes are annoying. It seems perfectly logical, then, to put both together into one simple product. Rather than waking up to gentle music that may just make you want to go right back to sleep, the buzzing of this mosquito alarm clock will make you want to get right out of bed just to stop the annoying critter. Once you are awake enough to realize that it is just your alarm clock, again, you are awake enough to start your day. Also available in a mooing cow and always popular crowing rooster version.

If empowering yourself with the Diana Ross hit “I’m Coming Out” hasn’t given you the motivational lift you need to step out of the closet, it may be time to pick up an alarm clock designed specifically to get the ball rolling. In fact, you probably don’t even need to set it; just display the clock or its box somewhere where they can be seen and chances are that closet will vaporize in seconds.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of June 29th-July 5, 2009:
Kitchen Knife Mirror: Look your best, scare the hell out of guests.
Death Star Cookie Jar: You can’t go wrong with cookies and Star Wars inspired giant evil spaceships.
Star Wars Characters USB Flash Drives: Yoda’s neck is the gateway to enlightenment.
Shocking Wrist Developer: Has a couple shocks.
Alien Hatching Egg Alarm Clock: What does an alien hatching mean to you? It means it is time to get out of bed.
What does an alien hatching mean to you? It means it is time to get out of bed. Once the Alien hatching Egg Alarm Clock hits the preset time, the alien will pop out of his egg with a shrieking laugh and flashing red eyes. The only way to stop it is to zap him with the included gun. No better way to start the day than to wake up slaughtering aliens.

These Birdhouse Alarm Clocks can wake you up with a gentle birdsong or a beeping alarm that gets louder as it goes on longer. You can hit the sleep button for a few more minutes of sleep on those tough mornings, the perch is what doubles as the sleep button. For even easier sleeping, the clock itself makes no noise at all, just the silent sweeping of the second hand.
