#3-- ditto 100 watts.

#4--heat lamp focused on your head

#5--if necessary, the sounds of garbage cans clanging, motorcycles gunning, screams, shots, running footsteps or a recording of spike jones and the city slickers' rendition of "cocktails for two."

good luck. :lol:

I second the light-on-a-timer idea, and also suggest you move your alarm clock across the room, so you have to get out of bed to turn the darn thing off. That's what I ended up doing.

I used to have one that was shaped like a baseball. USED TO are the key words. I hit my roommate with it one morning when it went off.

Wow! I didn't know those existed! That might be the thing for me! :). I become immune to alarms pretty quickly and can easily get out of bed, walk across the room to hit snooze, and fall right back to sleep...many times.

I'm following this thread. I'm also interested in the alarm clocks that mimic sunrise.

Yes, I have one. Since I retired I don't use it anymore, but I liked that it came on gradually, like the sunrise. It didn't just "pop on". I would think using a timer would put the lamp straight on full?
