Walk up! Alarm Clock
A drastic option for heavy sleepers, this iOS app has an alarm that can be silenced only one way: by taking your smartphone for a stroll. The free cheat-proof app can’t be muted, shaken or shut off.

ZenAwake
Designed to wake users peacefully, ZenAwake’s alarm plays low-frequency sound waves that “relax and focus your mind.” The iOS app, $2.99, also displays a daily inspirational quote that users can share via Facebook or Twitter.

BetterMe
There’s nothing more motivating than a good public shaming. That’s the concept behind this accountability app–free for iOS and Android–that humiliates users by posting to Facebook when they snooze through their alarm. Embarrassing? Sure. But so is oversleeping.
