| Waking up is hard to do... |
[Sep. 28th, 2007|08:49 am] |
I know that many of us, especially pals on my f-list, have trouble waking up. I also hear from time to time, tales of hitting the snooze button in your sleep and not knowing it. Today I heard someone unplugged their alarm clock in their sleep. I would go on about how this is indicative of having the wrong sleep habits, diet, and staying up until 12:30am to watch what you stored on the TiVo even though you have to be up by 7, but hey, I am not here to lecture.
What you all need is a bomb clock. Here's a clock that you have to be mentally awake enough to defuse like a bomb in a Bruce Willis film.
Or, you could have an alarm clock that runs away and hides from you, or even better, launches itself in the air and flies around your room, scaring your pets as well as forcing you to get up and chase it.
But this is what some of you may need, an alarm clock that is loud, vibrates, and flashes. This may not wake you up, but will annoy your sleeping partner to the point where THEY will wake your ass up. |

Once upon a time, I had one of those baseball alarm clocks. The idea was that when it went off, you could throw it (something many people wanted to do with their clocks) and it would go into a 9 minute snooze. Then the alarm would go off again, and you'd have to get up to turn it off.
That worked for abut 4 days. Then one morning, when I threw it, I heard the unmistakable sounds of plastic breaking and falling to the floor. I got up to see that I had broken the damn thing. Oh sure, I was up, but I somehow suspect that this was not the vendor-approved method of waking myself up.
I currently have 2 alarm clocks set to go off at full volume & I set my cell phone to go off, plus I stagger all three so if I snooze one, the next one will go off before 9 minutes is up. Wonder if any of the options you've listed would be loud enough to wake my kids up? (My current set up usually does not wake my kids, & we all sleep in the same bed.)
I want to see the kitten chase the flying clock.
