Eureka!
I think I've got the idea for the perfect alarm clock. Forget all those fancy affairs that wake you up in a 'natural' way, getting lighter and lighter and louder and louder, so you don't wake up suddenly, but almost like on your own.
Rubbish.
No, what you need is an alarm clock that will ask you really tough questions really early in the morning, such as:
"Where is my umbrella?"
or, alternatively:
"Where is dad's T pass? He called me from the station."
or else:
"Find the derivative of function F(x)=x^3+14x^2+45789x+87 without using any shortcuts."
Now, the trick to this is to ANSWER THE QUESTION. By the time you're done, your brain will not only be awake, but also full of your daily dose of the Guilt Endorphins, because you scrounged your father out of his daily free T ride, but at least your mother found her umbrella in your bag, and used the T pass to get to her own work.
Seriously. Otherwise I would never have gotten up at 7:40 this morning.
Hurrah!
