In the morning, I stopped the ringing alarm and fell asleep again. The snooze function wakes me up after 10 minutes, stops and falls asleep ... I repeat such offenses and defenses several times, and when I finally wake up, I feel a little sick. Anyone who is not good at morning will have experienced it.

I know it doesn't make sense to sleep twice for 5 or 10 minutes, but I'm not confident that it will happen in one shot. For such a person, perhaps the most groundbreaking alarm clock ever developed.

"Ruggie" is a matte alarm clock with a built-in motion sensor and speaker. You must stand on the mat for at least 3 seconds to stop the alarm ringing from the mat.

Winson Tam, a member of the Ruggie development team, is also an oversleeping addict, looking for an "easier way to get out of bed" for those who don't like getting up in the morning. The lack of a snooze function in Ruggie also conveys confidence in the product.

For those who are worried about 3 seconds, you can freely set the time to stop. In addition to the preset alarm sounds, you can also import your favorite music, so you can send an encouragement message to yourself after stopping the alarm. Together with the soft and comfortable shape memory pad, it claims the effect of "welcome the morning positively".

In addition, it also has a fashionable function such as displaying the time with an LED when you lightly touch the mat with your foot. This is also useful as a footlight at night.

Ruggie is currently looking for investors for commercialization on the crowdfunding site "kickstarter". We've already raised a lot more than we're aiming for, and it looks like we'll be ready to take a great morning step. There are still plans to get the product at a special price, and you can get it in September 2016 if you apply.

By the way, my friend, who is not very good at getting up in the morning, says that even if he puts his alarm clock away from the futon, he unknowingly stops and goes back to sleep again. I feel like letting them face each other once.
