I still think it wouldn't work for me

An Alarm Clock That Just Might Work

If hitting the snooze button gets too tempting in the mornings, you might want to try the Blowfly Alarm Clock by Ena Macana.

At a set time, the round "blowfly" will lift off and start buzzing around the room. The idea is that the sound and the fluttering gets so annoying that you are compelled to get out of bed and catch the darn thing. I imagine this would look great on your bedside table, too.
