			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m kind of an insomniac, so I don&#8217;t usually oversleep. But for those of you who like to hit the snooze bar 10 times before waking up, even though you&#8217;ve absolutely got to be awake on time, this super-loud alarm clock should do the trick.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2719" title="screaming_meanie_220" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/screaming_meanie_220.jpg" alt="Screaming Meanie 220 Loud Alarm Clock" width="520" height="728" /></p>
<p>The Screaming Meanie 220 portable alarm clock offers three settings: normal (75dB), loud (95dB), and earsplitting (120dB). To put those <a href="http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/CLASS/sound/u11l2b.html">decibel levels</a> in perspective, the lowest setting is as loud as a vacuum cleaner. If you happen to crank it up to the highest level, you&#8217;re somewhere between sitting in the front row of a rock concert and sitting in front of a jet engine. And just to make sure you don&#8217;t oversleep, there&#8217;s 5 and 10 minute &#8220;pre-alarms&#8221; which remind you that the REAL alarm is coming. While you can turn off the pre-alarm with a single button press, you need to press three buttons at once to shut off the main alarm.</p>
<p>While they&#8217;re certainly not pretty to look at, I can pretty much assure you that you won&#8217;t sleep past the buzzer with one of these things. So if you&#8217;re ready to be jarred awake, you can find one at <a href="http://www.the-perfect-present.com/Pages_SCRM/Screaming_Meanie_220.html">the Perfect Present</a> for about $36 (including shipping).</p>
