NACD New Alarm Clock Day!

[JDC]

I sleep like a complete rock and sometimes I even sleep through 2 alarms and radio, so I've got one of those fancy Philips wake up lights, those who don't know what it is, it basically emulates the sun by fading in a light over 30 minutes and plays birdie noises to wake you up in a more natural way than some sudden and annoying buzzer

so tomorrow I'll find out if it's worth what I paid for it :D

couldn't find a single bad review of the thing either, but they ain't me and I'm probably the ultimate test!

Sounds far too relaxing, if normal alarms don't work I reckon you'll be blissfully unaware of this one doing anything!

A friend of mine has an alarm with motorised wheels on it.  The idea is when you hit the snooze button, it falls on the floor and rolls around, gradually getting louder, so you have to get out of bed to go and find it to switch it off.

Don't know if it actually works though, she couldn't figure out how to set it.....  :roll:

Perhaps the light helps... sounds don't bugs me much when I'm sleeping, but the light does a lot

Those clocks are brilliant. Makes sense, think how early you wake up and how bright you are in the morning if you go camping and the sun wakes you up.

Bright?  If I woke up and found myself in some poxy tent I'd be $%&#ing mortified.

and if i heard birds i'd probably start thinking there were birds flying round my room or something and start trying to avoid them in my sleep.

And who hadn't posted when I was writing my reply.

I would say if I wanted to be woken by the sun I'd leave the curtains open.... 

....but in fact my bedroom window is directly opposite the kitchen belonging to the crazies next door, so I'd be kept awake all night because the loony $%&#ers never switch the light off.  :|

that's a lot of baseball bats consider the NI population is 1.775 million

Great clock- what is the tone like?

[Will]

Great idea, sunlight is the best way for me to wake up. Let us know how it works in practice!
