I need a Kickass Alarm Clock

[tallest1]

Yes, I've heard of the alarmclock that drives around the floor and yes, har har har, I've heard the typical "a blowjob/girlfriend in the morning" responses before.

Now, I seriously.... seriously......... seriously need an alarm clock. I am one late day away from losing my job and that must NOT happen.

My work schedule varies from week to week ( waking as early as 4, as late as noon) and I'd rather not use my computer as an alarm clock since its too easy to turn down the volume on my amp. I want an alarm that will not STFU until I am on my feet. And I'll gladly spend up to $150 on it. Please tell me if there is anything on earth that can help me out.

Okay, the following assumes you have a brain:

Haven't you considered putting your alarm clock away from reaching distance from your bed and turning the volume up?

pay me $5 a day and i will keep calling you until u wake up.

Couple suggestions:

To fix the problem immediately, multiple alarm clocks. I have used as many as three. If you have someone who will do it, a phone call + conversation until you're wide awake is also good. When I had trouble I had a g/f that was +3 hours so it was easy for her to call me at 4:00 AM (my time) to get my ass out of bed.

For a long term solution, have you looked into sleep disorders?

I found out sleep apnea was my problem, I do MUCH better with a CPAP.

One alarm is sufficient now as long as I have something to get up for (ie work). I keep that one alarm all the way across the room from me (balanced on top of the door actually, I have to get up & walk across the room to shut it off). If I don't have anything to get up for I'm more than content sleeping all day.

Beat me to it. Damn.

Use multiple alarm clocks positioned in different parts of the room, all configured to beep at the same time at full volume. That should wake your ass up. But honestly, if the alarm clock isnt at least 10 feet away from me, I go back to sleep. I could've lost my job as well.

that is one ugly alarm clock.

but the concept is very cool.

 

[everman]

Why can't you just place the clock somewhere that makes you get out of bed? And isn't getting fired encouragement enough?

 

[ondarkness]

I use my nokia 6230, it has a constant alarm schedule so you don't need to keep setting it nightly.. but you can if you like that stuff.

I use it in combination with the Nokia speaker/charger stand.
the stand

works great

I have the same problem getting up in the morning. I don't know what it is. The weird thing is that when I'm visiting my parents, I'll wake up at 7:30 without an alarm clock. At my apartment, I'll sleep till 9:00

Fortunately, I have a work schedule that's flexible and I can start practically when I want.

Get an alarm clock program for your computer.
Set it to play something like pantera or ministry.
Leave your sound reprroduction equipment turned on and volume up loud.

That's not always the case. Sometimes I can't wake up to my alarm clock, I just simply don't hear it. When I move out of my parent's house I'm going to get a LOUD alarm clock.

 

[sharkeeper]

Ever heard of X10?

Get a timer and a heavy duty appliance module.

You can use your own creativity but I will provide two examples. Both provided excellent results.

1) Shop vacuum cleaner on high with hose in bed. Try suck or blow, both are effective.

2) 1/2 drill. Get some 1/4" vinyl tubing and cut a piece about three feet long. Chuck one end and crank Mr. Jacobs down TIGHT! Pull the trigger and engage the lock. Put the drill at the foot of your bed. When wakeup time comes, you will get the whipping of your lifetime. No snoozing I guarantee it!

$150? Perfect! Take a look at this.

It's not how loud it is, but how it wakes you up that will count on whether you stay up refreshed or knock back out and continually hit the snooze (which we don't want).

 

[isekii]

Pay me the 150 and i'll wake you up

Ive tried a lot of things, but my favorite thing is still a battery operated $3 alarm clock you can buy from any "cheap stuff" store.

Theses things never stop when the power is out, and you dont have to be able to program a VCR to work one of these.
