Alarm Clocks...

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

sooooo what alarm clocks do u guys use? how do you set yours? and what features do they have?

the iphone sucks for alarm.

i'm trying to find something that has:
-multiple alarm times
-custom snooze for each time (up to 45-60minute per snooze, yes that long)
-custom sound import mp3
-rising sound levels so it starts reallyreally low and slowly over many repeats, gets louder (over many cycles of the mp3).

i remember my old blackberry has something like that... but not custom snooze.

are there any actual alarm clocks or... programs or.. anything that sounds like that?

I guess people that wake up right on queue need not reply LOL.

Sleep cycle = wakes you up when you're in your lightest sleep. Works really well IMO but kills battery so your phone has to be plugged in

Droid alarm = makes me answer some mathematical question or similar before it'll snooze -- really good alarm but not as good as sleep cycle IMO


I like sleep cycle because I wake up refreshed + I'm less likely to hit the snooze. Sometimes I'm so lazy that I will actually solve the puzzle / answer the math question 10-15 times and just keep snoozing

I use Timely, and it's rather decent.

My friend made an alarm clock app, where if you hit snooze it automatically sends a text message along the lines of "i'm lazy and hit the snooze button", to a random person in your contacts lol.

Unfortunately it's only available in Korea I think.

There was also a concept where everytime you hit snooze it makes a donation on your behalf to some charity haha

Then there are these:

have you tried using some of the 3rd party iphone apps? theres a few that let you use a song or any other sound file you have to use as a tone.

funny you mention blackberry. i have a blackberry playbook with an OEM charge dock and i pretty much use it as a clock by my bed

I usually set 3 alarm 10mins apart. Usually I am awake on the first alarm. To be honest I usually wake up when it is time for work so I guess I have good internal clock?

Alarms are for noobs. Just get up when you need to. The only time I need an alarm is New Years day to witness my father's polar bear swim @ English Bay.

[Manic!]

Just buy a cheap android phone and use that for an alarm.

Using a note 3 standard alarm; found ring tone through zedge app. Personally love the chrono trigger's "fragments of a dream" as my alarm. The soothing melody both relaxes and invigorates me even for those really early mornings

I have a jawbone up and it's fantastic. Wakes me up at light sleep cycle.

Alarm clock plus for android has all that you listed. I dont have iOS, but there has to be something similar out there for it.

I would try this if there is a trial version

Could be useful for something else too...

[StylinRed]

use my phone, if i dont have to get up the next day and set an alarm i somehow find a way to shut it off without noticing

but if i have to wake up i'll usually wake up before the alarm goes :/


try setting multiple times on your phone and place it across your room?

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

lol, i want the customization for other reasons (lucid dreaming).

no alarm clock can truly get me outta bed. but having it fade in with a custom mp3 would be nice.

[ae101]

been using the same alarm clock for the past 20 something years, its loud, annoying & classic, yet i still cant get out of bed lol

i have like 3 alarm clocks & 2 phones setup with the most annoying sounds ever to get me out of bed, still cant get up most of the time

You just tripped me out posting this... I have had this clock for over 20 years and the funny part is I didn't know it was called the Dream Machine until now and I have looked at it over a million times I'm sure..
