Do you use an alarm clock to get up in the mornings? or do you use your phone?

I use my alarm clock with the ability to set two alarms and my phone when it isn't available.

I have two alarm clocks, one given from my deceased aunt and the other by my deceased mother (both sisters), and I do need both to roll myself out of my comfy bed.

Which btw, this is one of them:


Love it, always gets me up. I'm very tempted to pay $300 for a used one on ebay as a backup.

I use the phone alarm clock, it has a smooth sound like rain drops.. it feels refreshing :p

I hate the monotonous beats of classic alarm clocks..

That sounds like a great idea but I just know that it won't wake me up ? .

I use my phone as well, I've never actually owned an alarm clock. The best thing about Android is that I can choose my Spotify account as the sound. So it will choose a song from my liked songs and use that.

the beat becomes louder and louder if i don't turn it off. i always leave my phone in a place that i HAVE to stand up to make it stop.

That sounds like a good idea. I watch TV shows on my phone before I sleep so it's always close to me so I don't have to stand up. That's probably why I always end up snoozing it and end up sleeping a bit more. If I got up, there would probably be a less chance of me sleeping again

I'm playing a very risky game as well. Since I'm working from home, I literally wake up about 5 minutes before work. One day I'm going to accidentally dismiss my alarm and fall asleep again

start at 9am so you wake up around 8.58am and then two mins later working :p

There it is

I use my phone.. Just don't see the point in spending money on an alarm clock when I already have the functionality available. I really must change my alarm tone though, I've recently had a new phone and haven't gotten around to changing it, it's so annoying! ?

I have 2 alarms set so I can make a choice whether to get up a bit earlier and jump online or play a game for a little bit before work, or snooze and have a bit of a lie-in. The second option is largely coming out on top at the moment!

I use my alarm clock. I'm not one of those "just use my phone for everything" people... that's relying too heavily on a single point of failure (and one that often seems to fail when I most need it :p )

I have a battery operated alarm clock (in case the electric goes out) and I put it on my dresser across the room from my bed. This way I have to get up to shut it off.
