Title: Do you use an alarm?
Post by: mrbizzard on November 04, 2014, 08:38:13 am
Do you use an alarm to wake you up in the morning? If so, what is your alarm.

music. I found a talking alarm online. I put my computer "to sleep". I can set my own music, select an icon to pop up (Merlin is one choice). I have been using it since September. I love it.  I never did like waking up to a loud obnoxious noise or beep.

I have an alarm clock on my nightstand but hardly ever set it.  If I have to get up early for something I'll use my iphone alarm clock but I always am up before it goes off.  If I know I have to be up at a certain time I just can't sleep good so don't really need an alarm.

I use my phone as my alarm.
I have anywhere from 2-4 alarms set, depending on how early I have to get up and how important it is that I get up.
Usually the first alarm is a soothing melody...and the last is an aggressive beeping or something very loud and annoying to tell me that I must get up.

I have an alarm clock that used to have set up for music to wake me up, but lately my husband wakes up before me and 99% of the times without any help

No, I don't use an alarm to get up in the mornings.  I haven't in years.  My internal clock usually gets me up in plenty of time to spare.  The very few times that I have set the alarm was for times that I had to get up earlier than usual but I am always awake before the alarm goes off.

I use my iphone for the alarm, but I usually wake up before it rings, so I end up just turning the app off.  It's a buzzard.
I have an ihome alarm clock, but I don't use it.  I can control it with an iphone app, but I still don't use it.

I do have an alarm and I set it every day, however it is rare that I am still in bed asleep when it goes off. I usually end up switching it off whilst I'm waiting for it to go off! It's a very simple alarm clock, no radio, no bells, no whistles.. it just gives a very quiet beep, beep, beep when it is 6.40am. The only thing I would change about my alarm clock is the angle of it. The face of it is at an angle and if I want to see what the time is, I have to press the snooze button on the top which lights up the face but all I see is a blue hue. I have to move the clock to a better angle so that I can see what the time is.

Yes I do. My digitalclock with frogs. I don't like the beeping. I do like the ocean waves for a change. I don't think I would wake upon my own too well. Need that alarm.

I use a beeping alarm when I have to be somewhere in the morning.  Otherwise I don't.  Seems like I wake up at the same time whether I use the alarm or not....internal clock, I guess.

I use an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. If I didn't use it, I could easily sleep until 10 or 11 a.m. which would be a waste of practically a whole morning. I find that when I set the alarm, I usually wake up before it goes off. But if I don't set it, I keep right on sleeping. So I have to set it every day just to make sure.

I used to but not any more.  My sister gets up before me so if I know she's awake that's when I get up.

LOL. Of course. I have a job.

I use a ringtone for my "sound" alarm. I also have a fitbit that does a "silent" or "vibrating" alert to wake me up. I am not a heavy sleeper so both will get me up.

Oh heck no lol - quit doing that when I retired - but I technically have an alarm my grown son knocks on my bedroom door when he gets up which causes my little shih tzu to start barking her head off and I have no choice but to get up.  We are all night owls so I have had enough sleep by then but I am lazy.

we set an alarm, but I am always up before it goes off and start the coffee.  I rarely sleep past 5:30. Have always been up and going at that time when I was working and when I lived on the farm so guess it will not change.

I get up at 5 a.m. during the week; that early I don't trust my ability to rise on my own.  I use a clock radio.  And even then I rise--but, I don't necessarily shine.

I have an alarm clock on my night stand that I use. It's loud enough so it wakes me up.
