Ramos Alarm Clock says no to snooze, requires leaving bed to turn off

(CBS/AP) HOBOKEN, N.J. - There is no snooze button. If you unplug it, a battery takes over. And it offers a "lockdown mode": As wake-up time approaches, you cannot reset the alarm time.

Once it goes off, to stop it you must get out of bed and punch in a "defuse code" such as day's date into a telephone-style keypad located in another room, such as the kitchen or bathroom. That's the only way to stop the loud `ding-ding,' designed to sound like a customer angrily banging on a concierge bell at a hotel.

You can also set a per-determined number of "snoozes" or wake up in a courtesy mode where you hear 10 seconds of alarm, then have a 1-minute grace period to get up.       More Read
