What it does

Can’t get out of bed in the morning? This alarm clock forces you out of bed into your bathroom. Become a morning person! No snooze! No oversleeping! No staying in bed! The alarm is ringing until you scan in the barcode of your toothpaste (e.g.). Do you like to get up early in the morning but your spouse doesn’t? Now you can use the “Don’t Wake my Spouse Button”! It’s a super short time snooze (optional). Your spouse will thank you later. Would you love to get the sleep you deserve but still fall back into bad habits at night that keep you awake?Sometimes all it needs is a little reminder at the right time: Try the “Bedtime Reminder” packaged…from tooltaps.com
