Never Late Again!


BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
It’s 8:30, just enough time to get out of bed and make your 9:30 class. You roll out of bed, start to get dressed, and suddenly a wave of panic hits you. Today is not Tuesday. You don’t have a 9:30 today. The class you do have, however, is a 7:30. Last night, while doing homework you got yourself confused and forgot the day. So, you have once again slept through the one class that actually takes attendance. That’s just wonderful. Isn’t there something that we can use to help us?
Lucky for you, I spend my days researching all kinds of neat items that will help college students just like you. Today’s newest product is called the “Neverlate 7-day Alarm Clock.” Imagine if you will, an alarm clock that has a separate alarm setting for each day of the week. So, you have a 9:30 on Tuesday, but a 7:30 on Wednesday? No problem. This clock has the ability to set different times for different days. Never again will you sleep through that early morning class (unless you really are that lazy).
The alarm clock comes with an AM/FM tuner, pretty standard for most alarm clocks these days. Something not so standard on this clock is the “Nap Timer.” There is a knob on the top of the alarm clock that you can set from 1-120 minutes. All you do is spin the knob to the desired time, and the clock will note the current time and set an alarm to go off in the desired amount of minutes. Need a quick 20 minute nap between classes? Just set it to 20 minutes, and enter dreamland.
This alarm clock has quite amazing features, but is still quite a small piece of equipment. It is only 5in tall, so space is definitely available when using it. It has battery backup, so you can still wake up, even during a power outage (but who among us wouldn’t use the excuse that the power was out?).
