Do you dread the sound of your alarm going off in the morning and usually leave getting up until the latest possible time? Yeah, us too, but we may have found the thing to change all of our lives forever.

Microsoft have claimed that their latest app can solve this problem by forcing you to get out of bed and perform an activity before it shuts up. Sounds annoying, right? But it may just work.

Mimicker Alarm is the name of this ground-breaking app, and it is similar to many alarm clock apps out there, except from the part where it forces you to play one of three games each morning to prove you're alert and readyto start the day.

'Express Yourself' asks you to take a selfie showing a certain emotion, 'Colour Capture' prompts you to take a picture of an object that matched the colour they've chosen and finally, the third game, 'Tongue Twister', gets you to repeat a phrase over and over again to get your brain into gear.

We don't know about you but we're happy to try anything to make our morning struggle any better.
