Dear all,

I have a problem. The problem is that I sleep like a plank of wood, failing to wake up under any circumstances (apart from being told to wake up by my mum, who is 5,000 miles away right now) and I'm sure I could quite happily sit through WW3 if it happened while I slept.

So, as a final solution after many days' productivity lost through oversleeping, I am looking for a ridiculously loud alarm clock, one that will cause complaints from the neighbours. I once had one that consisted of a small hammer repeatedly hitting two mini bells rapidly (seemed to work), but I've lost that one. Electronic beeps don't do it for me, least of all phone alarms that chirp once or twice and give up :o

Does anyone have recommendations for a sure-fire *loud* alarm clock that they're using? My grades from the exams in 1 month's time will thank you profusely...

Did you not think of searching for 'alarm' and 'clock' :D

I should get one of those. I currently have my alarm tone on my phone set as the "Dixie Horn" seems to work well, works well with the rest of the house aswell! lol :eek:
 
You need a way for one of these to be sounded for a split second!!

Trust me, you WILL wake up in a rather hurry if that goes off in an enclosed space with you!!! :D

:eek: 120dB within 1m :D
 
I had a small app for the comp that would turn the comp on, and play song(s)/playlist of your choice through any player u picked.

It was called "WakeUp" But i have lost it through many formats. Sure it will still be about if u look.


Speakers on fully blast with some proper heavy music always made me jump out of bed, even if it was just to turn it of b4 i got complaints from neighbours at 7am.
 
I'm lucky in the fact my girlfriend is an awesome alarm clock. Granted I wake up with a sore head as she beats me with a shoe or a heavy book, but it bloody works... well sometimes. I have been known to sleep through that Or pretend to be asleep so she'll go away.

The worst thing she does is send the dogs in. Dog slobbering on you whilst standing on your manhood... eeek
 
you can get these light things for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) that act like the sun, gradually getting brighter until the time you want to wake up in theory acting like a natural alarm clock. Not tried one myself but you never know, might be more pleasant then an annoying beep too :D

They're pretty good, I don't personally have one (£60) but it worked when I stayed at someone's house who had one. I think the bulbs in them are fragile/expensive as I wasn't allowed to play with it :(

Lumie is the name of the manufacturer.

doyou find it hard to get outa bed even after you have woken up ?
best tactic is to put ** alarm clock at the OTHER end of the room so you have to get up and turn it off.

i have an arsenal of 3 alarms
TV which i put on full blast when i goto bed, then turn it off... that wakes me up but i just end up listening to the Hoobs !

Alarm clock which is just pathetic,

and my phone which is quite loud...

still cant get out of bed in the morning though !... well it wakes me up but i just cannot break the ice and roll out of bed :(

does your TV have a setting ?

Don't bother with those SAD light things - just sleep with the curtains open a fraction. As the room gradually lights up in the morning, your body starts to wake up, even though you're still asleep. Then, you won't need a hugely loud alarm clock to wake you up, and you won't feel groggy, because your body's already awake.

Plug-in 24 hour day timer and a vacuum cleaner. Timer switches vacuum cleaner on, horrendous noise wakes you up. Easy, effective and cheap.
 
Drink a litre of water before you go to bed, you'll do one of two things:

1) Wake up quite early for the longest pee in the world
2) Pee yourself and continue to sleep in
