But he basically positioned "Clocky" so it couldn't run onto the floor, right? I think that Clocky solves this problem better, as long as you don't sabotage it to begin with.
Of course, if you have a messy floor, that could stop clocky, as well.
What it is missing, though, is the (permanent) decoupling between clock and snooze/defuse button.
Clocky needs to be near your bed to be a usable clock and to set it. It tries to run away screaming in the morning. If you are quick, you could do what he did in the video.
He tries a different approach: You have the (arguably beautiful) clock near the bed all the time, but there's just no button on that thing to turn it off. You can still cheat (see initial post of this discussion), but you _need to cheat in advance, intentionally, in the evening_.
For me at least that wouldn't work. In the evening I _want_ to get up early tomorrow. In the morning though....
Or if you live in one of the numerous cities where space is at a premium and Clocky would have all of about 2 square meters to run around in (not including the bed, which is occupied by boxes, or the wardrobe, which would crush Clocky like an insect if it approached too close!)
Of course, if you have a messy floor, that could stop clocky, as well.
