You’ve tried to sleep earlier than 12 AM, but that seems to be quite an impossible feat for you. All that work from the office brought home, maybe some kids, a nagging girlfriend/wife, computer games, all sorts of hobbies including collectible card games and other wacky stuff won’t let you go to sleep that easy. On top of that, you hate that snoozey alarm clock for not letting you sleep over for just a couple of minutes (not to mention you’ve already broken a dozen of these because of that). Next time you break a clock, buy a voice interactive alarm clock.

This clock is claimed to be using advanced speech recognition technology that lets you easily set the time and alarm via voice commands and responds to queries such as “What time is it” with vocalized synthesized answers.

This smart device is able to recognize 10 spoken commands, including “Set alarm, Set time, Check alarm, What is the date, Alarm sound (buzzer, chime, or bell), Stop (snooze for 5 minutes), and Temperature (current room temperature).” In case you got some nasty problems with the vocal chords, you can always access all the options with a touch of the activation panel, allowing you to quickly set up and operate the clock without tedious and confusing button pressing.

The LCD is backlight with a neon-blue tint and is specifically enhanced for day/night optimal visibility. In addition, when you find it hard to go to sleep after a terrible day at work, the clock can lull you to sleep with the soothing sounds of the ocean, chirping birds, or babbling brooks.
It requires three AAA batteries and it can work with an AC adapter, as well. You can get it from Hammacher Schlemmer for $49.95.
