Used to use my phone and an alarm clock, now just have the alarm clock which is dual, alarms set 15 minutes apart

Use an ancient alarm clock as my main alarm (it's a mid=90's Oregon Scientific one) with my mobile as a backup going off about 30mins later.

I don't use the mobile as the primary alarm as it tends to eat a lot of battery overnight if I forget to turn off 3g due to being in quite a poor signal area.

Another iPhone owner here. Yes, I use a proper alarm clock because Apple can't be trusted.

I have an alarm clock, also use the alarm on my phone as a back up, and my HiFi comes on with the radio

I got myself one of these

Pure Chronos DAB Alarm Clock Radio

the radio is pretty good and the sound quality is not bad for such a small unit

O have an Origin Scientific radio controlled alarm clock I bought 10 years+ ago and it's still kicking out time like a mother ******!

It has 2 alarms but the speaker is weak so I just use it to look at the time and the phone is across the room so I have to get up to turn it off = Great success unless!

DAB radio alarm clock for me. Set to Radio 2 and left across the other side of the room. 6:30 Chris Evans comes on - I have to get up to switch the gimp off.

I have always used an alarm clock, never used the alarm on my phone. I think I might need to get something a bit louder though, or maybe a radio alarm, as I just turn it off and go back to sleep

I have a really nice radio controlled alarm but since having kids I have found it to be of no use......

Edit just remembered I still have one of these on my dressing table....

Did anyone used to have one of those football clocks as a child which you could throw at the wall?

I need to start using that again.

Also finding the willpower in the morning when my body is possessed by the part of me that loves sleeping and dreaming.

If im having a good dream, i almost always go back to sleep for a little bit.
