Re: Alarmclock puzzle (Slightly OT)

I think that the ultimate thing to get one up in the morning would be
having a r/c drug-dispenser under/on your skin that would dump shitloads
of caffeine into your bloodstream.

I think there exists a type of patch that dispenses insulin, for people
with diabetes. That with like a RFID-trigger or programmable timer would
be the ultimate.

Years ago I imagined such a pill with a known delay (e.g. the time it 
would take for the outer casing to dissolve). Pills would be available 
with different delays (different thickness of casing).


Thus, you would take a caffeine tablet with say an 8 hour delay and go 
to sleep.


8 hours later you would awake feeling alert and refreshed, and as if 
you'd already had your morning coffee.


Life would be perfect.

   Nice idea, for the caffeine users.

   A friend of mine used to keep a 2-litre bottle of Coke by his bed,
so that in the mornings he could get enough of a caffeine hit to get
out of bed and make the first coffee of the day...
