Back in college we had a guy in the fraternity named Jess. I have never met someone who had more trouble waking up than this kid. He had so many alarm clocks in his room he would wake up everyone living around him on a daily basis. Apparently this guy had a similar problem. He no longer has the problem because he built a hydraulic lift to shake his bed in the morning to wake him up. The link has a video, the picture below doesn’t do this thing justice.
Thats enough to make me want to learn PIC programming and basic pneumatics.
