What kind of alarm clock do you have and to what do you awake?

[Floogeldy]

I have a $5 Westclox wind up, with that loud bell ringer. It works. :)

1. A radio alarm clock.

Whenever I get one with the loud annoying buzzer, I end up breaking it.

[yvr girl]

2. I still have my alarm clock from junior high (early 80s)

It buzzes.

I only use it sporadically - I don't require an alarm as a general rule to wake up. My internal clock is pretty good.

[Floogeldy]

4. I knew someone like that

They woke up every morning at 4:00 to do their paper route. That is a talent I lack.

[jmm]

19. I also knew someone who woke up at 4:00 am too

When I asked how she did it without an alarm clock she told me God woke her up every morning so she'd have a couple of hours to read her Bible. I told her that I had heard of God being a co-pilot but never alarm clock before.

[shanti]

16. me too

i set my alarm clock to 6:30 am, but always wake up about 5 minutes before it goes off. never fails. of course, that's in standard time, not DST, which SUCKS!!

3. I have a broken alarm clock,

and I awake to the sound of the busted-ass, squeaky brakes on the city busses outside my window.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. I have this weird clock that makes all kinds of "soothing" sounds

like the ocean, a rainstorm, etc. It wakes me up by beeping or gonging -- assuming the Alarm Cats haven't gotten to me first, by licking my nose and yowling.

12. I was looking at something like that the other day.

How does it do for ya? I'm notorious for sleeping through alarms. There was one time my alarm clock woke up the neighbor but not me. I've been wondering if I might have better luck with something less obtrusive, not some blasted blasting beeping thing, though it may seem counter-intuitive. And I haven't had much luck setting the alarm on radio, either.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. The clock does it pretty well.

I usually set it to chimes, which gradually get louder until I either turn it off or hit the snooze button. But on those few occasions where I didn't wake up right away, the Alarm Cats moved in and finished the job.

6. Radio alarm goes off to my favorite radio station

KPIG! :thumbsup:

[LeftyMom]

7. I have a CD clock radio thing

but since I don't have to work early, I don't use it much. I feel much more rested when I wake on my own time and I can't sleep in too late due to traffic noise.

[CatholicEdHead]

8. GE Clock Radio, it goes off with Morning Edition in the morning

[politicat]

9. An iPod and a pillow speaker.

It works most of the time. I also have two cats, one of whom wants to be under the blankets when the furnace turns off for the day (at about 7:30); she digs at the blankets and helps wake me up.

[ghostsofgiants]

10. A Sony one that I stole from my dad.

[Heidi]

11. Internal clock and toe bites from Ginger. (nt)

[Floogeldy]

14. Love bites . . .

. . . I hope. :)

[texanwitch]

15. Hi Heidi

Are you telling us that dear sweet Ginger would bite your toe.

[buzzard]

17. My son kept sleeping through his alarm I got him one for the hearing

impaired, it has a bed shaker turns on the lights and an alarm goes off, he finally wakes up.

[Hissyspit]

18. Cell phone alarm.

[auntAgonist]

20. I haven't used an alarm clock in years

I just wake up when I have to. :shrug:

[Skittles]

21. radio alarm clock

I wake up to cathedral bells :)

[NMMNG]

22. Sony Dream Machine

I can wake up to beeps, cassette or radio. I normally wake up to the beeps because if I set it to radio sometimes the volume isn't loud enough and I don't wake up.

[MissHoneychurch]

23. radio alarm clock with snooze

and I wake up to music (and if I don't like the song I hit snooze :) )

[Not_Giving_Up]

24. I set my clock radio on a Spanish station and crank it all the way up

It's set for thirty minutes before I really have to be up. My cell phone alarm goes off thirty minutes later, and I generally get up just to shut it up.

[radwriter0555]

25. I don't need an alarm clock. I merely register what time I need to wake up

'with myself' before I go to sleep, and I wake up about 10 minutes before that.

It baffles everyone.

If I don't want to 'set my clock', if I'm at a hotel for example, and use wake up call, then I will sleep until it goes off.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I have a wind up cheapie and a clock radio. I set them 5 minutes apart

so that when I shut the first one off and go back to bed, the second one will give the push I need to get up. :hi:

[sshaw1980]

27. cell phone

the notre dame victory march !!!

[Burma Jones]

28. A Sony Clock Radio

I wake up to Big Ben sounding chimes

[Fox Mulder]

29. The only alarm clock I can hear is the one on my cell phone.

I set it really loud.

Otherwise, I've had five different alarm clocks, and I could not hear any of them when I had them. I guess I'm a heavy sleeper. :shrug:

[weeble_wobble]

30. Radio alarm clock

from Walgreens, it is set to a news station, but in honesty, I can set myself to wake up at a specific time, no alarm needed...all I do is think while drifting off that I need to be up at X hour and I am. An odd talent, I know.

[schmuls]

31. My alarm clock comes with fur and eight legs. It stares and paws

at me until I get up and feed it breakfast.

[deadparrot]

32. A loud beeping.

Not the most ideal sound with which to wake up, but I find that I need a loud, irritating noise to get me out of bed; otherwise, I'd just sleep through it.

[lpbk2713]

33. Battery powered alarm clock.

Don't have to worry about any power failures.

[DS1]

34. Radio. 3 minutes of David Lee Roth thinking he's smarter than everyone

else in the world.

It's really quite amusing

[realisticphish]

35. a digital

with huge green numbers. the alarm could be described as the screech of a rabid pteradactyl on crack. at least that's what it sounds like to me at 6am. And I like it that way; alarm clocks are supposed to wake you up, not entertain you

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

36. I use my TV which wakes me up with the news nt
