iPhone alarm clock that...

[TriedandTested]

Randomises the position of the snooze button. I'm already aware that the iPhone alarm only displays its snooze button in once place and scared that I can easily turn it off without even looking.

Any ideas?

Edit; even better: one that randomises it a few times in different places so you have to look/think to turn it off!

Put the iPhone in a plastic cup

Thats why i set 3 alarms in my phone for my morning wak up call. I can do the Slide thing in my sleep and turn it off now.

Yep, I'm with Raymond.

I've got one set every 15 minutes for an hour before I actually have to get up!

It does take some skill to slide the alarm off in your sleep though!

Hmm. Gap in the market there..if only I could develop it myself!

I know the position of the slider in relevance to the Home button so i just do the gesture like a muscle reflex. I have overslept a couple of times because of this.

That's just lazy!!

I wake up to the "clunk" of the analogue alarm clock I use (the sound it makes right before the bell goes off).

Never got on with the iPhone one..

There is no gap in the market i am afraid because there is no way to run apps in the background and you could just quit the app with the press of the home button.

What's the point? I thought the idea of a snooze button was that you "snooze", i.e, don't wake up properly to think about how to turn it off.

My alarm is annoying, the back of my bed is against the windowsill, so the alarm clock is behind my head. If I hit the wrong button, it turns the radio on full blast and wakes everyone up. And the alarm NEVER stops ringing until you hit the off button. I have it go off at 7:00, 7:30 and 8:00, and if I don't remember to turn off the last one, it's still on when I get home after school.

Same! Has the snooze length changed as a result of 3.0? Im sure mine used to be 5 mins

The nightstand app is pretty funky, it makes you answer a "complex" math question before you're allowed to turn it off...

Someone's posted elsewhere on this forum that you shouldn't sleep with your head within 2-3 feet of an active mobile phone? Any science behind this?

ps. I set 3 alarms with 15 min intervals too

Sounds like rubbish to me.
