5 Gadgets to help you Wake-Up

Linus Tech Tips presents a concise guide on five gadgets that can help you wake up in the morning, ranging from a simple alarm clock to a full-featured wake‑up light. The video opens with a quick introduction and a brief mention of the sponsor, Sennheiser, before diving into the first gadget: the Ruggie, a bath‑mat‑style alarm that rings until you stand on it for a set amount of time. Linus explains how the Ruggie’s software can extend the standing time up to 30 seconds and even play an MP3 after the alarm, making it a flexible wake‑up solution. The second gadget, Clocky, is a self‑driving alarm clock that can be programmed to “peel off down the hall” and even be turned off by poking it in the eye; Linus notes its four‑sold‑separately batteries and the potential for a future v2. The third gadget is the Pavlok, a shock‑based alarm that delivers a customizable jolt to your body, with the option to program it to trigger whenever you move your hand up to your face. Linus highlights the 130‑dollar price tag and the integration with “if this than that” for automation. The fourth gadget is the Philips Wake‑Up Light, which simulates a rising sun over a 20‑to‑40‑minute period and plays gentle nature sounds; Linus points out its touch interface and the ability to snooze by touching anywhere on the surface. Finally, the fifth gadget is a Rube Goldberg‑style machine that Linus claims will help you wake up by the end of the day. The video concludes with a sponsor shout‑out to Squarespace and a call to action for viewers to like, subscribe, and check out the links in the description.
