A Better Mousetrap
Have you ever tried sleeping when your partner was snoring? And not just dainty, feminine purrings but floor-shaking eruptions like lumberjacks taking down a ponderosa pine? Nobody could sleep through that.
Which is why you're reading the blog of the next big millionaire. All I need is some venture capital and I'll be the next Donald Trump. Without the bad hair.
How, you're asking? I'll tell you.
Come a little closer. Now look around. Anyone reading over your shoulder? No? Good. Then this will be our little secret...
My plan is to create a new alarm clock. Think of all the productivity lost from over-sleeping employees. I can put an end to all that. No more missing work, missing school, no more speeding through traffic to make up for lost time. I have the plans for the perfect alarm clock.
The secret is this... instead of a bell, or wimpy ocean sounds or birds tweeting, this alarm clock will wake you up with... wait for it... SNORING! Nobody could sleep through that!
Know any good lawyers?

Is Connie keeping you awake or is it Ringo doing all of the snoring?
The snoring alarm clock would only work for non-snorers. People who snore would sleep right through it. :)
I agree with Melissa.
I've found several non-snorers who tend to be light sleepers in the first place. Anything can wake them.
Some nights, Rusty really gets on a roll. His snoring can go from brown-bear-hybernating to oh-my-God-the-sky-is-falling!
It gets so loud that it will wake him, but almost instantly, he falls right back to sleep and starts taking big chunks out of the sky again.
Nope, a snoring alarm clock would do nothing for him.
As for me, you'd have to get rid of the snooze feature before it would work for me. Even then, I would most likely pull the plug and throw it out the window. I despise being awakened in an annoying fashion.
Maybe an alarm clock, which sounds as if someone is either knocking at your front door or ringing the doorbell. Not as annoying. Plus, you wake up thinking...I wonder who's at the door; I didn't know that UPS delivered this early in the morning; No! I don't want to purchase any chocolate candy bars for the school drive. (Or do I?); Don't tell me that the dog got out of the yard again!; etc, etc.

HA!
If your idea doesn't work out I have one, there is a small problem with setting the wake up time though. It's called the labrador retriever, last night it was set to wake me up every hour or so by by either pushing me over with both rear legs extended or slapping me in the face with one of the front paws, apparently I was taking up too much of "our" pillow. If I work out the bugs I will let you know and maybe Melissa can help up write the patent application with all her fancy legal terms:)
