My dear hubs found this article on the latest and greatest alarm clocks that folks like US could benefit from! During my working years, I used a projection clock, so I could see the hours crawl by ALLLLLLLL night long. Exhausting!
After retirement, I was bold enough to take some international trips alone. For that, I absolutely needed an alarm clock that was guaranteed to shake me awake. In a pinch, I’ll sleep with ONE aid in, and set an alarm on my cell phone, but if there’s a plane or train to catch, I take no chances.
Wishing all health and happy, safer travels in 2022!
I’m looking for a watch that has vibrate-to-wake and enough battery lifer to track (some/any) other health functions. I don’t think being electrocuted is on my list yet haha.
I use a small battery powered alarm clock I got from Oricom. It has different vibration and sound settings. I put it under my pillow with vibration setting only and it wakes me up every time.
I’ve had an alarm clock that has a button that fits under the mattress and shakes the bed. I’ve had it for at least 25 years now. I’m sure you could find something on Amazon
I use my old iphone on vibration mode as my daily alarm. I keep this phone on an empty tissue box on the bedside table itself.
The sound is really loud & terrific on vibration on this empty cardboard (tissue box)
Initially I tried to keep the phone under the pillow on vibration. But sometimes, I couldnt feel the vibration atall.
So this phone on empty box is the best solution for me.
That is a very nice service indeed to get a travel clock to wake you up. I had to buy mine (at Amazon). But I can’t complain as it not only wakes ME up … but scares the BEEJEEZUS out of my hubs when it goes off, heh-heh!
Yes, I have one too. I am retired and rarely MUST be up at an appointed hour. However, during the leadup to my cochlear implant , I had several appointments @ the hospital (which is 60 miles away) at the crack of dawn!! Amazon to the rescue. It’s there when I need it, and I am thankful to have it!
I tried Pavlok shock clock. But he’s not good enough to wake me up. because I still keep sleeping. It’s just a shock until you turn it off on your smartphone or on it.
Now I use (2 devices)
Xiaomi bedside lamp that mimics the morning sun. but to admit it is not perfect. Philips has the best alarm clock with a light that mimics the sun. I will put a link to see what it is about but it is very expensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms3t1Lc1gMI
Clocky’s Alarm Clock on Wheels is an unique alarm clock for folks who have trouble getting out of bed. It gets its name from the fact that it’s a wheeled mobile alarm clock. As a result, save for its loud alarm, it is free to roam around my room till I get out of bed.
