Alarm Clocks

I have my mobile set to annoy me at 2000 which gives me two hours before work starts. The drive is a short one so I can usually relax for at least an hour before actually getting ready.

 

I use my phone's alarm and usually have two alarms set. I'm paranoid and a secondary / tertiary insomniac. I never know when I'm going to fall back asleep or wake up. Other than the whole 2-4am thing. But even that is unreliable on a regular basis. It's a struggle, me and sleep. If I didn't have an alarm clock, I'd never be anywhere on time.

 

I use my cell phone however at least 75% of the time I wake before the alarm. Didn't used to be this way. Maybe only in the past five years. I think I'm old but at least I'm not eating dinner at 4:30. Yet.

 

I almost always use an alarm clock. That said, I have been waking up five minutes before my alarm on a consistent basis. The alarm is added security.

 

I use a clock radio with the radio for the alarm jack-up to wake the dead !.
That's the only way I can get up to go to work.

 

I set my cellphone alarm and usually wake up five minutes before it goes off.

I almost always use the alarm for naps. I like controlling the duration.

 

I use the cellphone alarm but wake up before it goes off, can't stand the noise of it, my brain just wants to smash it.

 

I changed my mobile phone's alarm from one that made me want to smash things to one that sounds like waves on a shore. Actually, it starts like that but eventually morphs into the sound of fog horns that get louder and more frequent the longer you ignore it.

It makes me want to turn it off before it gets to far into the cycle. Thankfully I wake before it goes off.

 

I use a cell phone alarm, and I change the song I use every couple weeks. Right now, I'm using this song

The nice thing about that song is that if I don't hear the alarm initially, I DEFINITELY will after it plays for about 3 minutes. I try to keep my phone far enough from the bed that I can't easily reach it to turn off the alarm.

If there's something that I absolutely HAVE to be awake for and I'm afraid I won't make it (flight after a long night, etc), I use clocky:

I would fucking stomp clocky. Hard.

 

My alarm is the transporter sound from TNG. Of course it is.

 

The first time I used Clocky, the little fucker drove under my bed and started spinning in circles where I couldn't reach it. I had to get a broom to get it out and turn it off. Henceforth, Clocky is only used in emergency situations (it also gives my cats heart attacks).

 

It would be worth it for the shock to the cats.

 

I have 2 morning alarms set on my phone. The first one, set at 15 minutes before I have to get up, is a soothing harp sound. It's like it is singing "good morning! get up soon or that other irritating alarm sound will start." I get up, try making enough noise in the kitchen to start waking the kids. Then I give them a hug & kiss on the cheek while singing "Good morning, good morning, good moooorning! Good morning, good morning, to you!" If they aren't up in 5 minutes, I fill the spray bottle with cold water and try that next.
I tried using that annoying alarm that sounds like a loud pinball machine (on my phone), but it was a loud shock my phone almost didn't survive that morning.

 

I found a link to my alarm sound. I didn't realize that turns into a shrill alarm at the end I always turn it off before that happens.
