Alarm Clock General: Analog and Digital - General

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;46051481]This was my alarm for a few years. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmAcnzjnz-A[/media] I chose it because it was very loud and very obnoxious. I now have small panic attacks when I hear Green Hill Zone.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah I use to use this on my old phone and hook it up to my iPod speakers so I would wake up Let's just say after the 3rd day my Brother got very pissed off he had to hear that bullshit at 9:30 and threatened to wreck my shit

I've been waking up 1 minute before my alarm for past couple of months.

[QUOTE=Waffler;46056362]I've been waking up 1 minute before my alarm for past couple of months.[/QUOTE] Wow you're so lucky. I can't wake up at all, even after my phone blasting music for about an hour, I still sleep through it (even if it's right next to me, and I have alarms every 5 minutes for 2 hours). It's pretty pathetic :-(

Go to bed earlier

I have a normal alarm clock next to my bed on a nightstand. I mainly use it to check the time because I can't hear its alarm-noise anymore. Its top-part is a one big button that lights up the clock when pressed, otherwise its dark and has no glowy bits or anything. It's useful when you wake up in the middle of the night, just slap the clock and notice it's 15 minutes until the alarm sounds and get depressed. I use my S4 as my alarm clock. Volume on max and the most annoying, loudest sound as the ringtone. :v:

alarm clocks give me such a novel feeling. I love shopping for luxuries like this, yet, I find it hard to justify when i can set 9001 alarms on my phone instead of having just 1 alarm on a clock that I will inevitably turn off and fuck everything up.

Why is it so fucking hard to design an alarm clock that has the snooze button on top and all the other controls somewhere else on the fucking clock? Once a goddamn week I blindly reach for the snooze button and manage to change the time at the same time. Ffs.

I'll reach for the snooze button on my alarm and end up turning the alarm off. It doesn't go off again and I end up late for work :V

[QUOTE=ExEcuteFox;46042993]I've got a similar app called Sleepbot that does pretty much the same thing, also keeps track of your hours of sleep [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/KqkZLSC.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] This is an awesome little app so far. I got it the other day and have been trying it out and it's really interesting to finally be able to easily track how much I slept and how soundly. However, today's movement graph doesn't seem to be working. It has the small summary graph, but when I try to look at the larger graph, there is none. Is that a known issue?

My old phone alarm used to be something off the soundtrack of Portal 2. At the moment I have a bog standard alarm clock I got for like £5 or something from Tesco.

I just use an app called [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lslk.sleepbot&hl=en"]Sleepbot[/URL] that tries to wake me up after my REM sleep (you give it a window of time to wake you up). It's really nice, actually. I also have a physical alarm clock with an annoying buzzer that goes off about 5 minutes after my phone's latest time to wake me up as a sort of failsafe.

However, when you wake up, you remember a little bit before the actual time you woke up.
