ever used one of those bedside alarm clocks that light up?

[abc]

I thought this is a interesting change... anyone recommend a good model?

 

[Farvacola]

Ha, it wouldnt work for me! Heehee!

 

[GigaCluster]

I would like one for myself.

I do a combo... my regular beeping alarm clock... I have a timer that I plug my lamp into that is set to turn on... I set my cell phone to vibrate. All at the same time.

What if you're rolled over the other way?

 

[jadinolf]

I'd be afraid it wouldn't wake me.

 

[Fingers]

Nothing really works well with me. I need somethign that dispenses napalm on me at slowley increasing volumes.

I have a 2000watt flourescant dual-bul thing..scares the SH!t out of me in the morning.....I think it is "close encounters" or something in the morning....


...but it "works"

 

[Wag]

There are also "bed thumper" alarms for the hearing impaired.

But, since more than 1/2 of Anandtech has never experienced bed "shaking" of any kind, it just might scare them to death.

how much? i think my 5 yr old GE alarm / radio clock is not able to wake me up anymore....


anyone have one of those clocks that gradually gets louder instead of shocking you? are those good?

I have a clock that gradually gets louder... the only problem is when I wake up early and forget to turn it off. by the time I hear it all the way back in the kitchen, it's painfully loud in my bedroom. heh.

I've never been a heavy sleeper, though. Once I'm trained to get up within a certain time period every day, I almost always wake up on time (unless I'm exceptionally tired or there are chemicals involved)

Thats what I have now, but it just doesn't get loud enough. It's an RCA plays cd's and has all the bells and whistles, just wish it was louder.

lights up? link? never seen one

i have a ge atomic bedside clock, so i can be perfeclty late on time

the clock i had before that sounded EXACTLY like the warning alarm on the weather channel, so this thing wakes me up for years and when we were under a hurricane warning, every time i heard the alarm on the weather channel i jumped and couldnt help it =(

they are generally known as dawn simulator alarms
