I've experienced a particularly busy period lately, which was reflected in my blog update frequency as well. I'm not out of the woods yet but I thought this was something particularly worth publishing.
So, you work continuously for days and nights without ending. You maybe get the opportunity to sleep for a few hours every now and again. The temptation to seize this opportunity is great but when you're severely sleep deprived there's always the risk that if you do choose to go to sleep you will wake up in 3 days. But, there's more urgent work waiting and you need to make sure that 2 hours of sleep don't become 30.
The solution lies in a really good alarm clock. Below three proposed solutions:

The Shocking Alarm Clock
Pretty basic stuff. It's essentially an alarm clock that delivers an electric shock to your fingers when you try to press the cursed snooze button.

The Flying Alarm Clock
Besides the normal sound alert this alarm clock deploys a flying plastic mosquito-like creature that makes a really annoying sound. The beautiful part of it all, the only way to stop the alarm is to catch the mosquito and put it back on its base.

The Sonic Bomb
The alarm siren on this thing is capable of 113 DB, louder than the noise on a construction site. There's also a vibrating accessory that you can fit under your bed mattress that hooks up to the alarm clock.

Picture this! Your alarm goes off in the morning... silently. There is no noise but your bed shaking as if a major earthquake was in progress.
You don't bother wake up.
The sound alarm goes off at 85 DB.
Your eyes open.
You realize you have 60 seconds to find the key to the alarm or flee the premises before the alarm goes off again at 105 DB and your ears start to bleed!
You're wide awake and probably running for the door!
