I have to get to work every weekday morning fairly early. With the heavy traffic on the way, it takes quite a while to get there. So, I have to make sure that I get up early enough and leave home early to be there on time. I have to depend on the alarm clock to wake me up on time. That helps very much. Do you use the alarm clock daily too to be on schedule ?

Yes I use a alarm clock every day! I'm a college student. These days I sleep very late at night ,often after 1 o'clock. But I have to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning to attend classes! So I must use a alarm clock to wake me up ! Otherwise I will be late for the class ! That is not good for a student ,isn't it ?

For many, many years I had to set an alarm clock so that I would wake up. I never would have been able to wake up on my own without it. These days, since I don't work, I don't set an alarm unless I have an appointment the next day. Then I will set it so that I have plenty of time to get ready and go. It is really nice to go to bed at night and know that you will sleep until you wake up. Feeling well rested. Happy MyLotting! Char

I know how you feel. I do not set the alarm clock either because I work nights and I feel so rested and fresh when I wake up because I got up when my body was ready. :)

Yes, I use an alarm clock but I always turn it off and go back to sleep, LOL! I don't have a job so I don't always have to be anywhere at a certain time everyday. My alarm clock acts weird. It's old and it doesn't always go off at the time I want it to. For example, if I set it to go off at 7:00 in the morning, it sometimes won't go off until 7:00 at night. Maybe I'm not setting it right. It makes weird noises while I'm trying to sleep so I definitely need a new one, I think. Kathy.

Thank you. I like it when I can make people laugh. I read your post earlier and your hours are a lot like mine. The only difference is, I don't have a job. I wish I did, though. Kathy.

I'm up practicing music pretty late every night so I guess you would say I keep rock star hours, LOL! I'm more into country music these days, though. Kathy.

actually no. I work nights so I am not too worried about what time I get up. Dont get me wrong, I do have to set it sometimes when I have to be somewhere in the morning, but as for daily use, count me out. Besides, I have THE MOST ANNOYING alarm clock ever made [I guess that is why i keep it because it actually wakes me up.] I usually go to bed around 3-4 am and get up around 12-2pm and be to work at 430-6 pm so it works for me. =]

I only use my alarm clock if I have an appointment in the mornings very early. I usually wake up on my own internal clock around 6:30am. But if I have an appointment, I don't want to take any chances. The trouble is, my alarm clock seems to pick and choose what days it actually wants the alarm part of the clock to work.

i work at nights so i dont need to set the alarm clock to go to wake me up. i am usually up 3 or four hours before work for i eat and take a bath, talk to my wife and play with my child. so i really dont need any alarm. though we really dont have an alram clock, if i need alarm i use my cellphone to set the alarm. i mostly use the alarm on my cell phone as a reminder for a program to watch on tv so i wont forget... thats how i use an alarm

I do use it when I have to work, if there is no work then no alarm clock, either way I wake up around the same time with or without the alarm clock, although if i have a crazy night, then yes i use the alarm clock.

I have a radio alarm clock and also an alarm on my mobile phone that I always use when I have to get up for work. Without these I don't think I would get up, or I would wake up an hour too early. I sometimes have to use both of my alarms on a Saturday if I am travelling to watch a football match. I always have a lie in on a Saturday so it is just to make sure that I don't sleep in too late, although most of the times I am up before the buzzers go.

I use my alarm clark every day to get up early since I don't like getting up late which I use my phone alarm because I think it works the best as an alarm and it is really easy to set up plus its pretty loud as an alarm to. But I do use all my alarm everyday even when I dont go to work but I do set it for a later time when I don't have work.

I'm usually tired, really tired, so I need an alarm clock. I'd oversleep by hours and hours without one. lol

I don't use alarm clock for a long time. Since today the cellphone already replaced the alarm clock. Besides, I can set different time from my cellphone and it will alarm me now and then to make sure I will wake up. It is much more convenient. I love China

Yes, I do use alarm clock. :) I use my mobile. I set alarm every day to follow my schedule. I even cannot imagine living without alarm clock. And in five years time since I am a working person, I have never ever overslept my job. :) Actually, I am a little bit proud of that. and I think our bosses at work will or are already appreciating that we are coming to work on time ;) So I would suggest to everyone: don't bee lazy and set your alarm ;) !!!

Yes, the alarm clock is a great help in waking up. I also use or depend on the alarm clock to get up early everyday to start my day and go to work. But there are times that maybe because of stress on the job or exhaustion, i sometimes don't wake up, though i have set up my alarm clock. Then again, there are also times that i do wake up earlier or before my alarm clock rings but still i do set it up everyday to be on schedule. Nice to see you on here again, my friend. I hope that all is well with you.

Yes, I do use the alarm clock daily to be on schedule because I am a college student and I have to be in class early in the morning. I just hate when people come late to class. It is so rude in my opinion, so I need to use alarm clock daily to be on time because my time is valuable for me and I don't want to wake up late.
