Did you know...
Ben Franklin wasn't the only historical figure who believed in waking up early. Levi Hutchins of New Hampshire was so eager to be up and at 'em by 4:00 a.m. that he invented the first modern mechanical alarm clock in 1787. Leonardo da Vinci used an alarm clock hundreds of years before that. His version consisted of a tube that slowly dripped water into a receptacle. When it was full, a system of levers would raise da Vinci's feet in the air to rouse him.
