Morning Alarms

[Jords]

When I was a bit younger I could use alarms to wake me up in the morny, but now I cant hear the bloomin' things go off. I set like, 3 alarms on my mobile phone to go off and still its not enough to wake me! :laugh: Must be a heavy sleeper now, as its loud enough.

So, can you hear alarms or are you another who rely on your parents to get you up? And they can be useless too when they just give a call which you dont hear, and you end up waking up naturally at like 12-1pm. :blush:

[Ninastar]

its one of those sounds, I would pay not to hear.

[Enid]

I hear it but choose to ignore it.

My alarm goes off at 6am every day cus it just feels right getting up then.
but i'm often awake a bit before then normally anyway.
and my parents always get up after me about 7am.

My phone alarm wakes me, I keep it under my pillow.

[Harry!]

I dont have a alarm I wake up by myself. My cats like to claw on the carpet at the same time every morning during the week so that is my 'alarm clock'

[Jords]

My phone alarm wakes me, I keep it under my pillow.

Ive tried having my phone on the opposite pillow but I still didnt hear it, and by having headphones in but they fell out during the night, lmao. :p

My alarm is Greatest Day so I always hear that. Once when I was sleeping outside Wembley someone was playing Greatest Day and I woke up!

[Firewire]

Same Jords lol. I have 4 alarms set. All have sleep after 5 minutes. Times are something like: 6.03am, 6.09am, 6.12am and 6.21 am.

Some mornings I hear them, some I don't.

I hate my alarm, it enrages me so I always get up quickly to turn it off. I suppose that's a technique to consider. Make it a god awful sound you can't sleep though....like a Ke$ha song.

[Shasown]

I have a goblin' teasmaid, always wakes me up. Its when she goes to kiss me afterwards I shoot out of bed.

Why would you have alarms at such strange times :conf:

[Firewire]

Why would you have alarms at such strange times :conf:

Because they all have a sleep of 5 minutes.

It's so they don't clash.

I put my alarm across the room on the top shelf, and it will just keep going until i do something..

So i have to jump out of bed and stop it.

IT really helps getting you up.. well used to have been doing it since i was 15. used to get up now i jump out of bed turn it off and go back sleep.

I set my alarm and phone alarm. My actual alarm clock is the worst sound in the world. I HATE it with a passion. Usually wakes me though, just so I can switch the fecking thing off

Haha I do the same! I put it across the room,but I get up,turn it off and just get straight back into bed.

[Crimson Dynamo]

if you regulate your sleep pattern (ie go to bed and get up at roughly the same time 7 days a week) you will have no problem waking. It may also be worth while allowing more light into your room in the morning.

lazy git

I havent been doing it whilst its hot..

But during the winter when its freezing.. then i have to jump back in..

[Stephanie]

i set both my phone alarms, my ds, and my alarm clock and my dad's alarm clock and i still don't hear them. i just sleep through it, so either my dad wakes me up or i end up waking anytime between 1pm and 7pm ;@

[Saralouleelaa]

my alarm wont stop going off till i either press snooze or turn it off, but when i press snooze it goes off ever 9 minutes and the noise grates my nerves so i end up getting up after it goes off twice..

I use the alarm of life.

A tip you may or may not find useful:

I was told to ensure not sleeping through the alarm - to bang my head on the pillow ie 6 times if I want to get up at 6! It may sound daft - but it works for me! On the odd occassion I forget to do it - I usually oversleep! Make of that what you will!

Very profound! :hugesmile:

My first alarm is the radio. I wake up at 6:28AM just in time for the start of the Chris Moyles Show. The cheesy song wakes me up :spin2:

Then I set about 6 alarms on my phone, with 10 minute gaps inbetween, up until about 7:30. That's just incase I fall back asleep.

I would try this but the thing is I dont actually hear the alarm go off. :( Maybe I will try getting a proper alarm clock instead of using my phone, might be a bit more louder/annoying so I hear it! :laugh:

[Smithy]

I used to have my phone go off, but that broke :( so I have to use my iPod now, which is really loud bells :(

Banging my head on my pillow when I go to bed - wakes me up in the morning without the need for the alarm! It obviously is a psycholgical thing - but it works for me!

I set about 5 alarms around 10 minutes after each other and sleep with my phone under my pillow, so it vibrates my head to wake me up :D
