Waking up in the morning is hard.
Alarm clocks beep.
Phones vibrate.
Your brain refuses to cooperate.
But imagine a better way to start the day.
Instead of noise, you wake up to the smell of bacon.
This is the revolutionary concept behind the bacon alarm clock.
Step 1: Construct the Bacon Clock
Begin by arranging crispy bacon strips into a circular clock shape on a plate.
Use smaller bacon pieces to form the numbers.
For the clock hands, use two longer bacon strips carefully placed in the center.
Technically, it does not tell the correct time.
But it does tell you something important:
It’s breakfast time.
Step 2: Place It Beside Your Bed
Set your bacon clock on the nightstand before going to sleep.
In the morning, the irresistible aroma of bacon will naturally wake you up.
This method is far more pleasant than traditional alarms and significantly more delicious.
Step 3: The Morning Routine
Once awake, simply grab the bacon clock and begin your day the proper way:
By eating time itself.
Start with the bacon hands.
Then move to the numbers.
Eventually, the entire clock disappears and your breakfast is complete.
Step 4: Daily Reset
Most clocks run continuously.
A bacon alarm clock requires a daily reset in the frying pan.
Fortunately, resetting the clock is also the best part.
Few morning routines combine timekeeping and breakfast preparation quite so effectively.
Final Thoughts
The bacon alarm clock might not be the most accurate timepiece.
But it solves the most important problem of any morning:
Getting out of bed.
Because when breakfast is waiting right next to you…
waking up suddenly becomes a lot more appealing. 🥓
