Triple-Threat 'Son et Lumière' Alarm Clock

The son is that of a 95 decibel alarm (equivalent to being inside a moving subway car).

The lumière is the lamp you've plugged into the back of this diabolical device: it flashes on and off while the alarm stops your heart.

The third leg of the 'triple threat' is an attached vibrating bedshaker that restarts your heart and shocks you into consciousness.

What a pleasant way to start your day.

Wake Assure is ideal for individuals who have low vision or don't want to put their glasses on in the middle of the night to check the time.

• You can be woken by the audible alarm — adjust the volume up to 95 dB as well as the tone/pitch to meet your personal requirements.

• Place the included bedshaker under your pillow or mattress and it will shake you awake — the powerful bedshaker has no audible sound so it is ideal if you do not wish to disturb others. The vibration alerts you when the alarm clock is activated.

• You can also plug a lamp into the back and the Wake Assure clock will flash your lamp when the alarm goes off.

Wake even the heaviest sleeper by using all three alerting options —surely no one could sleep through that!
