If time is money, why waste it by continually smacking the snooze on your bedside alarm clock? This contraption will ensure you understand the literal cost of your morning laziness.
The Shredder Clock is just a concept, but it’s a pretty good idea, and a new spin on the notion that money is a great morning motivator. Other alarm clock inventions force you to feed them money before they’ll shut up, or automatically donate to charities that you hate until you get out of bed, but this one lets you see your money going to waste.
You could conceivably shred anything you find precious, from letters to pictures, so you wouldn’t have to stock it with Benjamins.

Any Gordon Gecko types would love this.
What d'yall think? Is time in bed worth less than money to you?
What would you stock in this machine to propel you out of bed?
I'm thinking of a super big one, that's like a bed with a lumber saw fitted - if you don't get out of bed in time, you get cut in half.

Lol... I was always partial to wiring a taser to myself
Here's an artist's conception of what it would look like
