No matter how beautiful and technologically advanced they are, alarm clocks will never be the most-loved thing by anyone. It not only wakes you up from a good night's sleep, but it also reminds you that you have to come to work, go to school, or do something you really don't feel like doing. That's a deep thought right there. So what's with the alarm clock talk anyway?

Website BestDesi has recently compiled a top 10 list of the most annoying alarm clocks that ever occupied our bedrooms. The list is pretty hefty so we'll just dish out the three most interesting thingamajigs.

The first annoying slumber-ender is an alarm clock with a personality, the Nooby alarm clock. The first time it beeps, it will politely say ala Katie Couric when she was still in Today, "Rise and shine, it's time to get up!" If you don't turn it off right away, it'll beep again and nastily say "Take your fingers out of your ears!" To stop the harassment, you gotta harass it too by wringing the pesky thing's "neck". When it senses that you're all awake and fuming with rage, it will get grumpy and ignore you. Price tag, 30 bucks.

The second interesting body clock disrupter is the Sonic Alarm. If you're tasked to wake up your deep-sleeping roomie, this is the alarm clock for you. To use it, simply pull the pin, yell "fire in the hole," and throw the "grenade" into the sleeper's room. Give it a good 10 seconds for the loud noises to blast. To stop it, the sleeper has to find you to put the pin back. A great way to ruin a friendship, is it not?

That interesting-looking contraption on the right hand side is Clocky. When you hit its snooze button, it will roll off the nightstand and run around the room until it finds a decent hiding place. So the next time he makes some noise, you gotta find him. Just a warning - Clocky finds a new spot everyday.
