Microsoft’s new alarm app wakes you with physical challenges
“We’re a lot nicer than other alarms,” Allison Light, a Project Oxford program manager. “You start with dismiss or snooze. If you snooze, the default is five minutes to delay the game. If you dismiss, we mute the alarm – but then you have 30 seconds to complete this challenge. And if you don’t complete that game in time, we assume you’ve fallen back asleep and then the alarm will start ringing again. You only need to complete one game to shut off the alarm. You can choose the sounds and which games you want to play.”
All of which sound like super fun activities as you groggily stumble around your dimly lit house at some ungodly hour of the morning looking for something green to show your phone while grinning like an idiot and muttering “how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” Seems a lot easier to just develop some responsibility and get out of bed on the first try like an adult.
