Post Number: 656 Registered: Dec-06 | No, I'm not showing you one, I'm asking for you to help me find an alarm clock. Let me explain. About a year go I got this 110dB alarm clock because that's the loudest I could find. It worked for about a week, then my body adjusted to it. From then on, it quit waking me up (I was late for school several times). I now have to resort to my parents waking me up (they literally have to shake me and yell (sometimes) just to get me to wake up). This is so annoying. I wondered if there were an alarm clock that could wake me up for sure. I'm looking for one that maybe has a headphone jack so I can turn a stereo up to extreme volumes (I mean loud) so that I wake up to this piercing sound that makes me have to jump up and turn the amplifier off. I don't know if I'm a deep sleeper or what, but I don't like having my parents wake me. Thanks for ideas and suggestions. |

USA Post Number: 1383 Registered: Apr-05 | Ok, My problem is similar, but its not the volume, its just the actual fact that I can hear it when I am enjoying my dearest portion of my sleep. Everytime I hear the alarm go off, I always think; Hey why does the garbage truck have to back up every time its in front of our house? |

LOL |

My ex has our old alarm clock that had a "gentle" wake setting. Starts off as a whisper and gradually gets louder and louder. Heart attack free. |

It's pretty hard to get on my bad side. I don't think I've gotten very mad at anything for years. I'm usually just like hmm and if it's bad enough I'll write an essay on "Humanity these Days" or something. I either wake up naturally after about 15 hours of sleep. After 12 hours, only if I've slept 15 hours the night before. After 9 or less, NO WAY. I need something to scare me like crazy ! I just found something though. Lol I used to play music on my 100 w/rms power handling speakers at home, in my room, and never heard any distortion until I turned it past the 14th notch (almost 1/4th the way around the dial, 61 notches total) When I moved some old surround speakers (60w power handling) into my room and moved the old ones into the other room, when turned past the 6th notch, distortion sets in. I wonder if this is impedance or it's just the lower power handling. These are also 10dB lower in sensitivy, weird. |

ROFL and Andre, if you naturally wake up after 15 hours, you need counseling. i need 7-1/2 to 8 hours and i am good to go. also, they say too much sleep can kill ya |
