Princess/Pea Alarm Clock: Ejection

No ordinary alarm clock: the Princess and the Pea Alarm Clock ("PPAC") leaves no room for snoozing, inflating a green "pea" between the mattress and box spring, making it impossible to stay in bed. In the tin can, a homemade Arduino-compatible board with clock and memory chips handles the alarm clock functions, and a power block under the night stand provides power and relays driving the sprinkler valve or other alarming alarm functions.

This video shows me trying (and failing) to stay in bed.

Yes, that's a sharp corner! It's only dangerous if I'm fighting to stay on, though-- it gets uncomfortable pretty fast..:P

man this would piss me off lol

I like to lay in bed for a few minutes before I get up. I would end up falling back asleep on the floor. I was expecting a launch like a airbag, fling you up a few feet! What does your girl say about this??

Brilliant but how do the ladies like it. Or is that not a problem. ;)

[AkaSniffles]

Yeah, I could just see someone hitting their head on the table.

[bryctucker]

it definitely works, especially when it takes more work to stay in bed then it does to get out of bed
