My alarm clock is from the opposite end of the spectrum. The Peaceful Progression has gradually brightening light, aromatherapy, and pleasant sounds (birds, ocean waves, etc.) before the alarm beeps. I love it–I don’t feel like I’m waking up with a heart attack every morning. Also, I have the Jeeves clock, Ashley. :)

See? These things are for people like me: people who would otherwise snooze for 2 hours (it’s happened). I thin kI’m going to have to go shopping.

There are Sonic Boom-type alarms that don’t make an annoying sound. I have a friend who has a roommate that is deaf without her hearing aids in. She obviously takes them out to sleep, and I’m pretty sure is completely deaf without them in. She has an alarm that attaches to her bed frame that vibrates the bed violently without any noise. The vibrating bed makes a little racket, but not nearly as much as the Sonic Boom alarm sound.

Good for those who have roommates who don’t want to be bothered by loud alarms.

My husband is a drummer, and spends a lot of time in a soundproof booth with earplugs in and noise-cancelling headphones on. Since he’s paying attention to the music instead of the clock, he often loses track of time in there and ends up running late. For Xmas this year I got him an alarm clock for the hearing impaired. It has the shaker thing that some folks are talking about, but it also has an optional “sonic boom” alarm and an incredibly bright strobe light (I saw spots for 15 minutes after trying it out). Since it hits on three senses, I can’t imagine anyone sleeping through this alarm. And hubby’s not late all the time anymore.

I can’t set my alarm clock to wake me up to songs because I end up hating that song. I have it set to play this high pitched tone and now whenever I hear a sound (on the tv, in a song, etc.) that sounds like that tone, I get this huge spike of stress without even realizing it was the sound that caused it.

You added some info to yours, which makes it a much nicer read.

While I’m not gonna scream plageuarism, I find the coincidence a bit much, it’s pretty obvious you know the other post existed.

i have this alarm clock i bought from radio shack years ago. the thing is amazing.
it’s atomic, never have to set it, has a projection light thing that puts the time in huge LED on my ceiling, can set it to any US timezone with one button, last for 2 plus years on one set of batteries, and shows the time and date, as well as the temperature inside (around the clock).

the best part though is the alarm.. it starts with this very slow soft beep, and very very gradually grows into a loud fast paced beeping, which will stop and repeat eventually if you dont shut it off. it kind of feels like being carefully scooped out of your sleep. like the beep is like “ok dude, time to get up, here ill help you out.” hah

no idea if they still make them. it was $50 well spent in my opinion.
