Or you could use the accelerometer to "wind"up the clock/snooze. Just shake it two times to snooze for 1 min more or something like it. And after each snooze you have to shake more and more to get the same snoozetime, i.e. for the second snooze you'd have to shake say four times to add one minute.<br>

I have a similar problem, but came up with a slightly different<br>
approach. I tend to snooze too much, so mine focuses on the snooze<br>
button.<br>
<br>
You'd start with 1 big snooze button that snoozes for x minutes.<br>
After x minutes, alarm sounds again, but there are now two or three<br>
buttons. Maybe you have to hit them in a particular order. Maybe pick<br>
2 that are the right color. Snoozes for another x minutes.<br>
Next, has a screen with 9 buttons (big enough to use with fingers).<br>
The buttons flash (maybe play a sound) in a pattern. You have to<br>
repeat the pattern to snooze again.<br>
Etc<br>
<br>
Have snooze time configurable. User enters comma-separated list. Last<br>
number in list is repeated. Ie "10,9,5"<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
