Literally...give it a hard whack; you know you want to. That's the brilliantly silly (or brilliant and silly) conception of designer Matthias Lange who has introduced the Smash Alarm Clock -- which is turned off by a swift, hard smashing with fist or elbow or, for those particularly motivated (and pissed off to be awakened so early in the morning) a driving foot.

Thanks to our friends at Geeky Gadgets for tipping us off to this find. Although the clock isn't yet in stores, after it does go wide...when you get up in the morning, utterly exhausted, feeling like it's got to be the middle of the night (it's not), you'll now have an alternative to dunking your head in an ice-cube filled sink. Find release from the object that's actually causing your pain -- smash that damn and now welcoming alarm clock!
