Put it on your nightstand or somewhere where it will blow wind onto you and you're set. A good idea would be to set a normal alarm as well, 10 minutes later just so that you are sure the first times. | ||

It's literally never failed for me. But I'm weird. However, iPod/cellphone earbuds seems to be the best method, maybe an over the ear type is better as it might be less likely to fall out | ||

This week I'll perhaps give the light solution a go. I have never tried it before. I wonder how I should implement this, though. Eh, I'm not sold that would actually work. The voltage going to the buzzer in the alarm clock is probably pretty low voltage DC; I doubt they put line voltage to it. The human skin is actually reasonably resistive at low voltages (can be as high as 100,000 ohms if dry and intact at low voltage). As such the current will end up being pretty low, probably too low to wake someone or even feel. Also there is the fact that electrocution is very dangerous. | ||

http://www.sonicalert.com/products-alarm-clocks-SB200ss.html Has a little piece that vibrates like crazy to wake you up (you can disable sound iirc). Even if you miss your little cell phone vibrate, I doubt you're sleeping through this. | ||

I'm sure that solves the bigger of the two problems, although I would think that more people are more susceptible to waking up via sound than sight (unless maybe they're in REM sleep). I guess the whole "gradual light" part of it should make waking up a nicer experience, which is why I'm happy that I have an alarm clock that starts off low and slowly gets louder, rather than just immediate blaring  The Philips Wake-Up light. Uses a combination of light and sound. It starts about 30 minutes before you wake up with emitting a low glow and soft nature sounds (I believe it can also be programmed to be a radiostation) and increases this until your desired wake-up time. In this way you wake up more rested and you won't wake up in the middle of you REM sleep leaving you with a shitty feeling after getting up. | ||

It is either because I'm stressed and thinking about when I need to wake up, or it's because I give myself the amount of time I think I'll need to sleep... I'm not really sure which. A light alarm clock sounds really cool tho. I also normally wake up 10 minutes before my alarm clock goes off. I believe it has something to do with a finely tuned internal clock. Even if I don't set my alarm I can say to myself before I go to sleep "I want to wake up at X" and then I wake up at the desired time. | ||
