  2. Wind up alarm clock in the closet by Barlo_Mung_42 · · Score: 4, Informative

    When I lived in Anchorage Alaska for a winter I found that I was really affected by the lack of day light. I had to put a second wind up alarm clock on the top shelf in my closet across the room.
    Even then I woke up one morning on the floor in front of my closet with the clock in my hand, late for work again.
    Not long after that I moved back down South.
