You can also shut off the time display so it only shows when the alarm goes off forcing you to ignore it through the night. And if you have an iPhone or iPod touch you can download an app that lets you set it from a docked iPod. I got it mostly for a dock for my iPhone but I'm loving it as an alarm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-57544355655234305632012-02-19T16:55:58.664-05:002012-02-19T16:55:58.664-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736867654363499921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-91734186721132204182012-02-19T16:55:13.062-05:002012-02-19T16:55:13.062-05:00I love my alarm clock, it wakes me at just the rig...I love my alarm clock, it wakes me at just the right time, it has never let me down and I have had it for 31 years...my husband.

I always tell myself that I have to get up at such and such time, and most times I wake up then. I WILL wake up to dogs barking or if someone is staring at me! That will wake me up so quick - the kids could come in and play or do whatever, but as soon as they started staring at me, well, my eyes would just fly open :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462736962453821988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-2521511737766965332012-02-17T14:11:04.722-05:002012-02-17T14:11:04.722-05:00OMG, I thought I was the only person who played th...OMG, I thought I was the only person who played these games. My alarm is 1 hour and 20 minutes ahead. I didn't reset after the time change and have been an hour ahead ever since. My normal game was only 20 minutes ahead, but I really like having an hour to sleep.

I find that the room brightening makes a huge difference in how I wake up, and I normally only need one snooze - not three.

It's set for 6:45, and has a Klaxon for an alarm. Even I can't sleep through that one...8-) Oh, and like you, I wake up waaay too early on the weekends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
