Given that the hardware is effectively the same, it might feel like you're being sold the same shoes twice - especially since the Pavlok Alarm app already also exists. I went straight for shocks because why not? A quick side note: The shocks aren't crazy strong, but they were stronger than I expected - enough to make my open hand visibly twitch. You can go straight in for shocks, or give yourself a chance, and wake to a vibration on the wrist and/or beeps before deploying a shock as the last resort. Pair the wristband with the Pavlok Alarm app (available for iOS and Android), and then configure your wake-up punishment of choice. Now they're hoping to abolish the snooze button with this single-purpose version. The makers claim their original zap-dispensing wearable has helped cure everything from sugar cravings to tobacco addiction. If Shock Clock seems familiar, that's because it's essentially the same product as the existing Pavlok we wrote about two years ago. Pavlok claims it's to program yourself - via aversion therapy - into permanently becoming a morning person. Unlike conventional methods, though, the idea here isn't to shock you every morning. It's aimed at chronic "snoozers" for whom loud music, the radio and regular alarm clocks aren't enough. The idea behind the Shock Clock is pretty simple: Punch in your desired wake-up time then tell it to vibrate, beep or give you an electric shock (or all three, in that order) to wake you up.
Sunshine in the mornings, but is an electric shock really the answer? Pavlok, the team behind the Shock Clock band thinks so, and luckily enough for you, I hate myself just enough that I was willing to find out if it works.
How hard is it to get up in the morning? When you have a job - and want to keep it - most of us can usually haul our sleepy asses out from beneath the duvet, even if that's at the last minute.
