Be honest: Did you hit the snooze button this morning? It's Monday, so we're guessing yes.
If you're a chronic snoozer, The Rock wants to save you from yourself. Starting today, you can be woken up by the dulcet sounds of Dwayne Johnson's rendition of "Good Morning Sunshine", his repeated delivery of the words "beep" and "ring ring," or a custom-made compilation of sounds from his dog, Hobbs. It's all thanks to The Rock's new alarm clock app — called The Rock Clock, of course — which he released today and which features 25 ringtones and zero snooze buttons. It's designed to push you toward achieving your goals:

As The Verge notes, The Rock is known for his insane daily 4 a.m. wake-up call, which the former WWE star credits as his "anchor" toward achieving his goals. (The app asks you to enter in a goal at set-up, so you're theoretically doing this all-waking-no-snoozing routine in an attempt to reach that goal.)

If you're feeling really bold, you can enable "Rock Time," which syncs your Rock Clock to Johnson's actual alarm so that you wake up when he does. Today, Rock Time was 4:15 a.m., so good luck to all of you brave enough to live your life like Dwayne Johnson.
