Many people can simply set the alarm clock and wake up on time when the alarm is triggered. However, some people will really have a tough time to wake up at the desired time despite the alarm having gone off for hours. These sound sleepers have probably tried out various tricks, such as getting a very loud and harsh sounding alarm, placing the alarm clock in a place where they need to get out of bed to turn it off, setting multiple alarm clocks, and so on. If all these tricks do not work, the Japanese offers users an interesting solution with Twist Alarm Clock to ensure they will not be late for work or miss their flight.



Unlike typical alarm clocks, Twist Alarm Clock from D-Forme will trigger and display a simple math equation at the desired time set.
