This rug is also an alarm clock

It's not enough to hear the chirp of an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning. Alarms that shake to wake you have been around for a long time, and newer ones will even try to pull you out of bed with the smells of chocolate and bacon.

In the case of Ruggie, its trick for keeping you away from the snooze button is to get your feet on the floor.

The device available through Kickstarter is a mat that displays time in one corner. When the alarm goes off, users can only turn it off by standing on the mat, which is made of memory foam.

The Ruggie even offers motivational sounds such as songs or other audio users can add through a USB connection. Once users step on the Ruggie, they'll hear the audio of their choice. Users can also place one foot on Ruggie to view the time, or use it as a night light.

The company estimates the retail price for Ruggie at $99.
