Help!! I hate my alarm clock..

[newddmommie]

So i had my alarm clock. It buzzs and makes me mad. Anyone have a better way to wake up in the morning? I'm up for all alarm clock suggestions. TIA.

There are clocks that simulate the sunrise which I know many people rave about. I haven't used one but I found this one and this page.

So funny that you mention this. I despise mine too! I think I just naturally hate anything that wakes me at 5:45A. I can set it for buzzing or music, still hate it!

We used to have that soothing nature sounds alarm. You know birds chirping stream flowing. Woke up every morning having to pee and I still got mad at those birds for waking me up

I’ve concluded that I don’t like to be woken up

This too could be more my problem. I just don't like to be woken up. but hopefully i can find a more pleasant way. Too bad I can't just sleep in everyday, stupid job.

On my old cell phone I use a wonderful Mozart piece and have no problem waking to it.

I use my cell phone as my alarm clock too. There were a ton of choices and best of all is if there is a power outage I know I will still be up on time.

It's not my alarm clock I hate it's 7:30 I hate
I recite it every morning as I'm hitting the button for the last time
"I hate 7:30"

Not any help I know hope some one comes up with something useful for you.

When I am on day shift I have 3 alarm clocks 2 in my bedroom one on the landing and STILL I managed to turn them all off in my sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I was glancing through the thread topics, I misread your thread title. What I thought I saw was "Help! I ate my alarm clock." That would have been a much more entertaining thread.

I was going to say that we've switched to using our cell phones too. You can pick a favorite upbeat tune to play. I can relate though as I'm just not a morning person. Nothing really softens the blow of having to get up early!

I love it. Not only does it shake but it has these crazy sayings in different dialects telling you to get out of bed.

Different alarm clock companies have different sounds. One clock broke & I had to replace it and I noticed the pitch of the buzz was like fingernails on a chalkboard , way more annoying than my old clock , and it really made a difference in how I was woken up. It became about turning off that horrendous noise , instead of being woken up.

I switched to alarm clocks that beep instead of buzz. That made a big difference.

But, now, as others have posted, I use my cell phone and have chosen a more pleasant sound. If you have an old cell phone, you can keep it permanently attached to the charger and leave them both by the bed. No need to worry about the battery constantly needing recharging this way. And, even in a power outage, the battery will simply kick in and still wake you up.

Most TV set have an alarm clock feature. I set mine so that it turns on the local news and weather when I am supposed to get up. And it is on a chest of drawers across the room and I do not leave the remote near the bed. So I have to actually get out of bed and walk over to it to turn it off.

Here you go. I still have this alarm clock somewhere, but generally use my phone.

I use my phone, too. I used to use my alarm clock but I would wake up so angry and annoyed because of that stupid beeping and then I was in a bad mood all day. I downloaded a couple songs as ringtones for my phone so now I wake up every morning to one of my favorite songs.

I use my iTouch. There's a tone on there that sounds just like the self-destruct alert in most sci-fi movies.

But I do eventually want to get this alarm clock!

I use my cell phone, on vibrate but yes I hate to be woken up in the morning too.
