A moving alarm clock on wheels that rolls about the room beeping and hides so users have to get up and turn it off has proved a hit in Japan following its introduction here.
The unique clock, named "Nanda Clocky" in Japan, was designed three years ago by 27-year-old Gauri Nanda, who was studying at a university in the United States at the time. Nanda, who reportedly struggled to wake up in the morning herself, formed a company and launched the product earlier this year.
Commenting on the clock's popularity, Nanda said the interest suggested there were a lot of people who were stopping their alarms and drifting back to sleep.
Nanda Clocky retails for 8,400 yen, and is being marketed in Japan by Ark Trading Inc.
