Alarm clock stops only when you shoot it with a gun

Ju01

Bandai has a new alarm clock coming out on November 15 called the Gun O'Clock. It looks like a normal rectangular alarm clock, but it comes with a gun and target. When the alarm stars ringing, you have to get up, grab your gun, and start shooting. Every time you pull the trigger and miss, you'll feel the blowback—if you hit the target, the alarm will stop and you can wake up refreshed and satisfied. You can choose from Normal or Hard mode—the latter requires you to hit the target five times.

I wonder what this does to you psychologically, to have to get up and shoot something right away.
