Do you use an alarm clock?

I have two alarm clocks: two small kids. Other than that, no.

I just use the alarm on my watch. It isn’t real loud but seems to wake me up just fine. I also have a clock radio that I set to go off a couple minutes later in case I sleep through the watch alarm.

I use an alarm phone.

I use the world’s most annoying alarm clock. It plays “You are My Sunshine”, and I am able to hit the snooze button by the third note! (No, I don’t get enough sleep)

Yes. It makes a lovely projectile.

I was happier without one, because I could remember my dreams. But I like
the extra hour of awakeness when nothing is happening yet except me and coffee,
and (for another couple of weeks)
the new light is really beautiful.

usually i don’t use my alarm clock. i wake up before it, but without that beating i won’t get up for school. lol

I use three alarm clocks. And they still fail to work sometimes.

Nope, wake up when I want to w/o an alarm. Have always been able to.

I try to set one, but I usually wake up before it goes off.

Without an alarm clock I sleep 13 hours. If I were to go to bed at 10:00 PM tonight I would get up at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning. And if I were to got to bed at 6:00 PM I’d get up at 7:00 AM (my usual time).

Now, I know I don’t need 13 hours of sleep every night. I usually go to bed around 11:00, and get up when my alarm goes off at 7:00. This gives me 8 solid hours, and that’s fine. I’m never tired during the day. 13 hours of sleep is probably unhealthy.

I need an alarm clock to get me up, but not because I don’t get enough sleep.

Perhaps, less pot, pete?
:)

Yes.

I go to bed at a very reasonable 10PM, but I must wake up at around 5AM. Even after months of this, I still need the alarm.

Everytime I hear a buzz similar to my alarm I cringe and feel like curling up into a ball.

The only thing that wakes me up in a timely manner is leaving the blinds up.
I could probably turn off one of those puzzle alarm clocks in my sleep.
I’m kind of a weird sleeper.

I am the family alarm clock. I wake up before my alarm (cell phone) goes off. Then I proceed to wake up my husband, daughter and son. The husband and daughter get up and get moving. The son takes a shower (after I yell his name about 1400 times!)(okay – only 1100….) and AFTER his shower he goes back to frickin’ bed!!! Then I have to keep asking “You up?” “You leaving?” “ARE YOU UP!!!!!!???” I like the weekends a lot. :D

For the decades that I was employed, I set the alarm every evening and each morning woke up about 30” before it rang. Curious, I thought. Now I have a four-footed one; he seems to make no noise until suddenly I feel myself being poked and sometimes note whiskers on my face. (not mine, I should add.)

I, and this is embarrassing, use 6 alarm clocks. All set at different times. And then if those don’t work I use my 7th…my mum

I am the same as MacBean. I set three, 5 minutes apart, and sometimes this still doesn’t work. No, I do not get enough sleep. I have to get up at 5AM for rowing three mornings a week and I’m always up later than I should be doing homework the night before so I guess the most sleep I ever get is 7 hours, but it’s usually a maximum of 6. Often if I set only one alarm it wakes me up, but I turn it off and go back to sleep and then when I eventually wake up again I have no recollection of turning it off whatsoever. Oops! And I make sure I set them a little while before I actually have to get up, because I always press snooze, without fail. This does mean I get a little bit less sleep than I could, but even if I set it for the last possible minute I still press snooze and then I’m in a rush. Stupid me, but oh well.

I use the most obnoxiously loud alarm I could find, and still regularly sleep through it. Like shrubbery I always snooze, sometimes so many times that it shuts itself off! I definitely don’t get enough sleep.

i don’t own an alarm clock…....

I haven’t used my alarm clock in months, except for once to take someone to the airport at an early hour.

i don’t use one to actually wake up, since i wake up at five thirty avery day on my own.
but i have one set for 5:45 just to remind me to get my day started. too often i get lost in my yoga or star-gazing that i lose track of time.

i have one that shakes my pillow…i prefer that to buzzzzzzzzzz

And I have an Oliver that licks my nose at exactly the same time every morning.
