As the clocks go forward this weekend, we round up innovative, unique, or just plain bonkers alarm clocks to help you with the lost morning hour.

The switch to British Summer Time (which will happen this Sunday) is not without its own peculiar controversy. Whilst proponents claim the extra hour of sunlight reduces traffic accidents, saves electricity and encourages people to exercise in the evening, detractors rubbish these claims. Farmers, construction workers and postal workers in particular find themselves frustrated by having to work in the dark each morning.

Still, for 200 years the biannual tradition of tampering with the time has more or less stuck.

If you struggle to get out of bed at the best of times an earlier weekend wakeup call might have you filled with mild dread. There’s no need to be alarmed, however. With one of these slightly bonkers alarm clocks you’re sure to be quite literally springing out of bed faster than you can say ‘Daylight Savings Time’.
