Could any two gadgets by the same creator be more opposite? This pair by Alice Wang is the perfect yin-yang of alarm clocks. The Perfect Sleep lets you program how long you want your slumber to last, for example, after 8 hours, instead of what time of the day you want to wake up. Its more like a countdown timer than an alarm clock. On the other hand, its evil twin, the aptly named Tyrant is set to wake you at a specific time of day, just like a regular alarm, except it’s on steroids.
This alarm clock bullies you till you get your head out of dreamland. How? It embarrasses the sleep out of you. It makes random calls from your contact list, without going in any order. It could call people you wouldn’t want to call at that time of day, like your accountant or your mother. Imagine getting the return calls from those people at 6 in the morning, only to say ‘my bad, that was my alarm clock calling you coz I was too lazy to get out of bed.’ You said it: We’d rather get our carcasses off the horizontal than try to convince people we’re not on drugs. Alice Wang was already so considerate with the Perfect Sleep, that I wonder whether the Tyrant was born from her being teased for being too soft with the Perfect Sleep. Whoever called her soft, let them try getting a taste of the bullying of the Tyrant.
