Use my phone all year round until it's time to change the clocks, then, based on Apple's **** up last year, I don't trust my phone so I set my bed side clock too
 
I use my mobile phone. I also have a second alarm which is an alarm clock program on my computer.
 
Phone. Though its the work one as my SE Arc alarm clock only works when its on & I prefer to leave it off at night.
 
Both. Bedside alarm clock for normal alarm, which I regularly snooze, and phone for 'this is your last chance to get up or you'll be late for work' alarm which is set 15 minutes before I start work.
 
I have an alarm clock on my side, missus uses her mobile on her side....always have both set in case one of us struggle to get up.
 
Both too ... I have a normal alarm clock which goes off when I normally aim to get up and the phone acts as a backup which goes off about half an hour later and is when I have to get up in order to get to work on time.

I know could set multiple alarms on the phone but it's a modern smart phone so there's a good chance in it running out of power over night so I figure is good to have the alarms as completely independent.

I'm normally awake and up before either of them anyway ...
 
Clock for two reasons:


1) I'm a luddite, and I don't know how to set my phone alarm, let alone know how to turn it off when half-asleep.

2) My alarm clock is a talking one, so i can find out the time without even opening my eyes.

Used to use my alarm clock when it would turn the radio on but since changing my alarm clock I prefer using my mobile phone.

Both, i use the alarm clock as a primary alarm and the mobile as a backup.
the mobile rarely gets a chance to go off as i usually switch off its alarm before it gets a chance.
more often than not the same goes for the alarm clock, unless i've had a particularly late night, i usually up before alarm but i like to have both of them set anyway just incase.
touch wood never been late for work yet.
 
Phone, although I REALLY want one of those sleep band alarm clock things... My sleep pattern is a mess, and it waking me up when I'm in light sleep mode would be a dream.

None never have needed to use one and even if I set one I am up before it goes off. :confused:

Same here. Usually it's at least 30 minutes before the alarm goes off, but sometimes it's as little as a couple of minutes. I set an alarm on my phone just in case I don't wake up by myself, however, so I have voted for that. I don't remember the last time I had a separate alarm clock.
