You Snooze You Lose


A device that costs you only $40 initially may end up costing you a fortune. . . that is if you are privy to hitting the snooze button. SnuzNLuz is a Wi-Fi enabled alarm clock that connects to your bank account. Using the secure embedded browser, a preset donation is made to your organization of choice everytime your lazy ass hits the the snooze button. First of all, BRILLIANT. What an awesome device. Second, I find it hilarious how the clock's design taunts you to just hit that GIANT snooze button. The screen read-out even warns you (in bright red no less) how much you'll donate if you decide to sleep away along with how much you've donated to-date. I have no problems getting up right when the alarm goes off mainly because my dog refuses to sleep after hearing it. However, I know plenty of people who hit the snooze multiple times. If you know someone like that, give them the gift of charity. Like the old saying, "you snooze, you lose".
