$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).

But it CAN be how loud it is if you stay up to late. I'd be very interested to see a version of it that wirelessly connects to an alarm unit that's capable of being loud when necessary--for example if it detects your sleep level is still heavy, but it's time to wake up.

We were in your situation once. My girlfriend was late to work. She's not necessarily 1 more time away from being fired, but I still insisted that it never happen again.

So I went to Goodwill and bought a nice old GE digital alarmclock/radio for $1.99.

It's.. well, an alarm clock. I don't think you can really go wrong....

Get one of those stereos that has an alarm function and will play a CD.
Buy an Ashley Simpson CD.

Problem solved.
Meteors did it.

Use several alarm clocks and put one alarm clock on a shelf or a mount near the ceiling with the cord unreachable (only rechable if you have a stool or chair). This is your job the line !!@@

Set the alarm on your cell phone and be sure the volume is loud.

Set the cell phone on the bathroom counter.

That way, you have to get out of bed to turn it off and then just wash your face. You'll wake up. Either that or get a dog with a bladder problem

I've often thought it would be nice to have an alarm clock that you had to enter a 5-digit code into before it would turn off.

Use your mobile phone - they have quite a strong alarm, and will start at every 10 minutes for an hour if you don't reset the alarm. To have a better effect, put it on a steel plate

I actually use my TV as an alarm clock. The combination of the flyback transformer powering up, the loud volume (I turn it up 2/3rds of the way up), and the sudden bright light work well. Most TVs now have this function.

Measure the burn rate of a candle, then insert it the required amount into your ass. For example, if a candle burnt at one inch per hour, you'd want 8 inches sticking out for a full night's sleep. Light the candle and enjoy a great kip, then the candle will gently wake you in the morning.

I don't see a downside to this plan at all. You'd be sure to keep your job.

Get one of those old alarm clocks that has the 2 bells on the top.
Set the alarm and place it on the other side of your room.

The annoying ringing - which doesn't stop until you manually turn it off - will wake you up. You will be forced to get out of bed to shut it off, so no worries about snoozing.

Trust me, these old style alarm clocks will wake anyone up!

hire a bum to sleep behind your garbage can and come pound on the door each morning

 

[daveymark]

I had this problem once, I went to bed earlier and it fixed the problem. THen woot.com came along, and the cycle has begun yet again.

indeed, I used to not get up and those things are easily 10x louder then the beeping alarmclocks and somehow seem 1000x times more annoying.

Step 1: Sleep in / Bring Bed to work.

Step 3: Profit*

*Assumes you won't get fired for sleeping on the job. While I consider that a new problem, I'll also offer up a free solution to that as well: Omit Step 1.


That said, there's some alarm clocks that have a light on them to wake you up. Search froogle or google. That would maybe be helpful for the pre-dawn wakeup times.

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.

When my work schedule varied all over the place I just brought a Cot into work and slept there, would just go home to shower and change, then right back to work.

I used that system myself also. worked great!

But if there is a blackout, the alarm will disappear

bumperdoo!

 

[sharkeeper]

It's nearly impossible to get a blackout here.

 

[cavemanmoron]

I feel sorry for you.

i use a normal radio alarm clock.

the volume is not even halfway.

What do you do when the smake alarm goes off,sleep thru that too?

Do you get 8 hours of sleep?
Maybe you need to try and go to bed earlier.

This is pitiful. Go to walmart and spend $12 on one with a 9v battery backup and place it across your room. If that's not waking you up (or it is and you're "sleep walking" back to your bed), you deserve to lose your job. And if one of those blaring its annoying alarm is not broken you need to either stop going to bed blitzed on chemicals, or get your hearing checked. No normal person can sleep through that.
