This may now become a thing of the past.
Each cartridge has a lifespan of thirty uses and can be purchased on the Sensorwake website.
Human beings were not meant to wake up to iPhone alarms, Rolland said.
The alarm clock works by using a cartridge, similar to how some plug-in air fresheners work.
When the alarm goes off, it diffuses the scent for three whole minutes.
But do scents work as well as a regular audio alarm in terms of waking you up?
It showed only two out of 10 sleeping adults woke up when they were exposed to smoke or aromas.
A subsequent study at Brown University in 2004 also found that scents were not particularly effective at waking sleepers.
Pepperment and pyridine scents were presented in different concentrations to sleepers at different stages of sleep.
The Sensorwake comes with an insurance policy for any sleepers who arent roused by its primary feature.
It costs $109 in the US (about AU$151 or 74 converted).
Pricing and availability in Australia and UK have not yet been announced.
