    I want a talking alarm clock

      OK this may be a odd place to post this but its kinda tech related.

      I want a talking alarm clock. No, not a software based one, I can find one of those, I want an actual alarm clock that speaks the time to me. Not when you press it, but when the alarm goes off it sounds and tells you the time. Then does the same every 5-10 minutes until I get up and turn it off.

      Anyone know where I can get such a thing? I'm having trouble getting up on time these days and the normal ways around it are not working!
      Thanks

      But if you can't get up the morning, how about an alarm clock that drives around the room and you have to get up and catch it to turn it off, theres no way you'd go back to bed after that!

      Not trying to be smart (honestly), but going to bed earlier really does help. I've gone through phases like that where I can't haul myself out of bed but it's a sure sign that I'm either not getting enough kip, or totally unfit, or both. :)

      NO that's not the issue, I get loads of sleep. 7-8 hours. I think my bed is too comfy or something!

      I just use a clock radio with the volume turned up ridiculously loud. Gets me out of the bed pretty quick when it goes off/deafens me.

      My problem is I get out of bed to turn my alarm off, and feel awke but get back into bed and fall back asleep, sometimes for an hour! I have 5 alarms just in case!

      You have a problem that no alarm clock is going to fix, tbh.

      If you set the alarm for say 6.30am then why do you want the clock to tell you the time when the alarm goes off? Do you forget what time you set the alarm when it goes off?
