I went to that link for the silent alarm clock but got a little distracted by the Starcraft ghost cosplay. mmm.

Also it's an interesting concept, but eh. We've evolved to wake up to noise, so I'd still argue for normal clocks. But who knows, maybe it'll be a less annoying process waking up in the morning.

How about a clock radio set to reasonably low volume? That shouldn't wake anyone else up.


That probably won't wake me up, either.



How about setting it loud enough that it will wake you up, but not others?

I believe it's so popular because it works pretty well. Your hearing is basically the one sense that isn't turned off (or turned down) when you're asleep.
Compilers are like boyfriends, you miss a period and they go crazy on you.

if they'll wake up from an alarm clock they'll wake up from your getting ready. Unless your some sort of silent doing things master

Disaster stroke today!

I set my alarm clock at 7:00, 05, 15, 30, and 45 last night. When I woke up it was 11:30am. FUUU.

Maybe I should worry about getting a louder alarm clock first

I read somewhere awhile ago about silent alarm clocks. It didnt strike me as something new so I didn't read how it worked. (Damn I kind of wish I did for you) Do u just sleep through the beeps or do you subconsciously hit it the off button. I use to wake up turn off the clock then go right to bed. Now I set like 3 if I have something really important. I put 2 on opposite sides of the room so I have to get out of the bed to turn them off.

I think the alarm clock was a vibration alarm clock that was built into a pillow.

edit: If that doesnt work, try throwing ur phone on vibrate and shoving it in ur pillow case for a night.

If you are not a light sleeper I would imagine you could get pajamas with pockets or just tuck it into the waistband of your under garments if you dont toss around alot.

If you wanted to get imaginative with it though, you could hire someone to violently shake you awake every morning.


I just tried this, and it didn't work well for me. I tried holding it on my hand as well as binding it on my arm (and other places which I believe are more sensitive), but it didn't work too well for me.

The problem is not so much that vibration does not wake me up, it's that I can't maintain tight skin contact with it. Maybe I should try this again by warping it a bit tighter to my arm, but then again, I am not sure if that's worth the effort if I can just buy one.


It doesn't have to make contact with your skin. Just put it under the pillow and the vibration will go right through your head. Much more effective than your hand etc. I am a really deep sleeper, and I do this every night. No problem.
