There are plenty of apps available in the App Store that claim to help you wake up without making you want to destroy your iDevice. Not everyone is able to wake up through sweet dulcet tones, however.

Receiving a call, even from a stranger, can be a very interesting way to wake up, and likely will be different every time.

This app has gained a lot of traction since its launch earlier this month, and has been touted by the likes of Mashable, The Guardian, Gizmodo, and BBC.

Complete Anonymity

The way this app works is that you set up an alarm for your desired time, and fall into a lazy slumber. When the time to wake up approaches, you'll receive a call from another user of this app  - a stranger - who will attempt to wake you up within sixty seconds, after which the call will be disconnected.

You'll receive a warning sound when you've only got ten seconds remaining in your call. The automatic disconnection means that conversation will hardly ever get awkward, and the anonymity ensures that you don't get any creepy people stalking you!

Users can also choose to wake up other people. You'll be shown the number of people who need to be woken up at any given time, and you can tap the "Wake someone up" to place the call.

It makes you wonder if the right number of users will place calls to sleeping folks. To alleviate the issue of being short on callers, the app has a voice recording, so users will receive a call anyway.
