What type of Alarm Clock do you prefer?

I want the classic one. the one that give you sound like gringgggggggggggggggggggg! I hardly getting up myself so alarm is very important.

When I was working I used a combination cloak radio with a duel alarm. The first alarm, I would get up and start the pot of coffee then went back under the covers. After 15 minutes the radio would turn on, I would go get a cup of coffee and go back under the covers, sip the coffee and wake up slowly to the music that was playing.

Most of the time I do not need an alarm clock. I am an early morning person unless I feel bad. I hate alarm clocks. Whe I have to use one just to make sure I'm up I use the beeping on turned down really low. Mostly I just tell myself over and over when I go to sleep what time I need to get up and I usually do it. When I was younger we had one that had 2 bells on the top and an arm that tapped them both. It was extremely load and I put it in the hallway. I had to get up to turn it off but that load ringing of 2 bells was not going off next to my head or anywhere close to me. They will get you up.

My absolute preference is for the wifely kind. Ideally she will be bearing tea and offering bacon sarnies for breakfast. She will cuddle me awake before telling me that I have 30 seconds to shower and dress because we/she have to be somewhere. I rarely actually have to be up by a certain time these days. But if there is no wife, then an old fashioned alarm clock will jolt me out of bed, moaning and groaning. Normally, though, I just wake up at the right time. I don't know how it works, but it does.

Right now my kids and husband are my best alarm clocks. They don't let me go back to sleep. Before them I had an alarm clock that beeped and played the radio, that was annoying enough to get me out of bed, especially if I put the radio where it was slightly off so that it makes the fuzzy sound, I hate that so it would make me get up. I can sleep through the beeping as well, and if the radio comes on by itself, I will go back to sleep and the music will be like a part of my dream. So I have to make it as annoying as possible for me to get up.

i love my natural alarm on which i set the time and it wakes me up with no sound it's situated in my brain! cause i'm a morning person.

Hi there anonymous! I only use the alarm of my mobile phone and it never fail to wake me up.

I used to use alarms to get up in the mornings, but it has been many years since. I haven't had to set an alarm for about 20 years, as I just wake up when I have to. I used to use the radio to wake me, like you.

i use the alarm in my phone...i would set-up the alarm at least 30 min before the real time i will wake-up...it would make my mind a little awake..alarm every 5 or 10 min after would do the trick! i really cannot just stand-up and do my chores that easy when i wake-up..i need time to make my body awake..my mind is awake but my body is not..hehehe!

I have two alarm clocks ! one has a buzzer, nature sounds, and the radio I could wake up to. The other is a dual alarm, when the buzzer goes off it`s a gradual sound, it gets louder and louder to wake you up! Nice idea but it just doesn't work! Getting up is always a struggle and having all these alarms going off every morning is border line stupid ! And iv`e worn out the snooze buttons on both ! silly isn't it? The guess it comes down to self discipline on my part but I wish there was A new tech that would help with this.

Enhem!I have almost the same problem like you.I use my cellphone's clock.Most of time it's hard to get up,I can stay at almost late night,but get up I have no idea to it.the songs of alarm can't play to the end.almost in the middle,I want to sing with the song but it shut down everytime,I am angry so that I clear up .

I have to use 4 or 5 different alarms, phones, radios and elephants with tambourines- but when I was a kid it was a simple Garfield alarm clock. Proper bells on top so when the alarm went if the noise alone don't wake you then trapping your finger between the ringer and the bell would get you up and attem. I also have industrial strength coffee for when I'm still groggy. :)

Clock radio works for me. But while growing up, I was used to the conventional beep-beep of the alarm clock and it was enough to wake me up then. There was a time when I get to sleep in a place where clock radio were the only thing available that can serve as an alarm clock and I got scared the first time that thing woke me up... LOL! The radio was set to one of those rock and roll stations so imagine waking up for loud music. But clock radio warmed its way to me and I've been using it ever since.

I really hate alarm clock..Thanks God i dont need it.I am night person so i hate waking up w/ alarm clock in the morning makes me dizzy...But sometime if i must need it i use it but then w/ soft music or lovesong on.

My own internal body clock.. hehe ^_^ It never fails to wake up up in the morning, but it's never on time, it will always wake me up 15-30mins earlier from the actual time.. LOL ^_^ And so, i will use an alarm clock with snooze, and set it at the actual time i have to wake up.. And so, i wun be too late if i wanna laze on the bed for awhile more.. LOL ^_^ U should know, the bed is the most comfortable when u have to force yourself to leave it.. LOL

I often wake up early in my life.Because of my family,which is live up to sell the foods in early morning,I have a habit that getting up early by myself,although now I do not need to do like before to sell things(because now I have a new life-style with my wife),I keep the habit.

i love my natural alarm on which i set the time and it wakes me up with no sound it's situated in my brain! cause i'm a morning person.

I prefer my alarm clock to be set to the radio. This way I wake up and I am informed about the events. Furthermore, this is a more effective setting to get me up on a timely manner. The radio setting is a more effective setting.

not any,lol, i am retired & don't have to put up w.the annoying alarm any more, thank heavens, there are a few perks to getting old.

I personnally need to have two alarm clocks. I use the alarm on my phone cause it is one of the most annoying sounds I have ever heard, and then I also use an alarm on my dresser across the room, for to tun it off I have to physically get up, and then I am up for the day.
