The alarm clock is similar to a rug and is the size of a standard bathroom mat. It features a LED display light on the upper right corner. Although the Ruggie is not a beautiful bedroom piece, the alarm clock serves an immense purpose.  The LED display is for setting the time as well as the preferred alarm sounds that are pre-loaded with the rug. Also, the LED display is capable of doubling as a nighttime light when getting up at night.

Amusingly, you can connect the Ruggie to a computer over USB in to upload an audio file to play as soon as the alarm goes off routinely.
