This is a Sure Shot Wake-up Alarm for All Those Heavy Sleepers

A novel alarm clock promises to wake up even the heaviest sleepers.

The Ramos Alarm Clock, designed by Paul Sammut, is so stubborn that it won't turn off until the slumbering victim physically leave bed and enter a PIN code into a wireless panel to silence the buzzer.

Trojan Horse Bacteria to Cure Sleeping Sickness
Researchers have used a bacteria that lives in the tsetse fly to release antibodies against Trypanosoma brucei, which causes sleeping sickness.

If you are thinking that you can merely fly out of bed, hit any old number, and retreat back under the warm covers, then you are wrong.

The PIN code has to be entered correctly - and, in a custom version, could be programmed so that the code had to be entered a number of times - or the buzzer will merrily continue to wake up the entire house, the Daily mail reported.

The unusual clock comes in three models: a standard desk-top LED Ramos (100 pounds) in sustainably-harvested birch box; a vertically mounted teak clock with USSR-style nixie tubes for around 200 pounds; and the custom-made version (to your own warped specifications) starting at around 500 pounds.

Study Says 7-hour Sleep Helps High School Students Do Better
Even seven hours of sleep is ideal for high school students to do better in studies, reveals study.

Each version is wirelessly paired with a 'defuse panel', powered by a 9-volt battery and featuring a 12-digit push-button keypad.

Each morning, the sleepy customer will be asked to enter the day's date into the keypad.

Sleep Problems May Affect Your Memory Later On
How long and how well you sleep at night may affect your memory later in life, according to a recent research that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 64th Annual Meeting.

The clocks can also be programmed to flash up an ever-changing four-digit code on the LED - forcing the foggy brain to work harder and subsequently get into gear quicker.

A long-range version of the clocks mean that the panel can be placed 100ft away.

Seven Hours of Sleep Improves Kids' Academic Performance
A new study has claimed that just 7 hours of sleep, instead of the 9 hours recommended by federal guidelines, improves academic performance in 16-18 year olds.

Sammut has even found a solution to those who habitually wake up before their alarm goes off, and change the alarm time for a longer lie in.

The Ramos can be programmed to feature a lock-down mode, where the clock will no longer permit any alteration to the alarm settings 30 minutes before the pre-set time - unless its owner types in a code at the defuse panel.
