When it goes off again, see if you've accomplished more in the next chunk of time. Keep hitting the snooze button until you're finished with your project.

Windows only: iSnooze provides the same kind of iTunes-as-alarm-clock functionality as the Mac-only Alarm Clock 2, but lets you get a lot more specific about your wake-up parameters. Wake up to a certain playlist on certain days at particular times, have it pause as soon as you touch something on your computer, gradually increase the volume until you finally wake up—it's your best friend or worst enemy, depending on how important it is that you get up and going in the morning. iSnooze is a free download for Windows systems only.

The humble alarm clock has certainly come a long
way from being your average waking up tool – these days, the irritating
din of metal clanging against each other is a thing of the past. Your

your choice, or for the connected model, how about an Internet radio
station with your favorite shock jock digitally playing tunes in your
bedroom?
