Have you ever missed an important appointment because you simply switched off your alarm clock and went back to sleep?

To prevent this in the past, I’ve had to resort to placing my alarm clock further and further from my recumbent position. It’s the only way to be sure. Or at least it was up until now.

Now there is Nanda Clocky,

Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off of your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide.

Clocky has been retailing in the USA for around $50. On its release in Japan (by Ark Trading Inc., according to a report in the Mainichi), it’s priced at 8400 yen.
