hello all. what are your alarm clocks set to? my clock is 20 minutes fast and was set for 7:13 am, meaning that i was actually waking up at 6:53 am. i have now set my alarm clock to go off at 7:47 am, meaning that now i am actually waking at 7:27 am. |

there is not enough discussion of alarm clocks on this board, hence my reason for devoting a topic to alarm clocks. |

Mine wakes me up at 7:00, regularly, but on days that I have to go to Jazz band it is set for 5:30. My alarm clock is very small and is battery operational, so it doesnt reset every time the power goes out here, wich is once about every week or so. |

Mine goes off at 8:30, and I robotically jump out and slam the snooze button and jump in to bed again. All without waking up. |

why i set my alarm clock for so early i dont know. i dont have to work until 9 am. typically, i hit the snooze button until 20 minutes till 9 am. that gives me ten minutes to get ready, and ten minutes for the drive to work. i am very lazy and dont like waking up. one day i will learn to freeze time and will no longer have to worry about clocks. |

"I robotically jump out and slam the snooze button and jump in to bed again. All without waking up." Oh man! Me too! The alarm clock gets into my dreams and fucks up my head, totally confuses me, after about 2 minutes I am half awake and realise what it is, then turn it off again. |

i would get up and turn the alarm clock off and get back into bed without ever waking up, so i trained myself to set the alarm clock far enough away from me that i have to get up and out of bed and walk across the room before turning it off. it usually works fine that way. my alarm is usually set at 1:30 pm but i always wind up turning it off and sitting in bed like a zombie for the next half hour. |

apparently, you can wake yourself up at a given time WITHOUT the aid of an alarmclock-seriously i saw this on QED a bit ago...or was it tommorrows world?..anyway, all you need to do is say you need to be up at 6am, before you crash out, gently tap your hed agaisnt the wall six times. ive tried this and it does work. mind i forgot to turn off my alarm clock (which goes off at 6) at the time, so you could say that the conditions under which this experiment were carried out were not exactly scientific. |

i always do this - ther is a trick to it. get in bed, nhowver late, and clear yr head for a second. look at yr wristwatch, wotever, so yr body knows yr telling it the time - say, 1 am. then tell yr body - literally, say it in yr head - wot time u wanna get up... say 7 am, so 6.45 just to be safe. then visualise the time... that;d be 5 n 3/4 hrs.... close yr eyes, sleep... havent needed an alarm clock for six yrs! |

I always wake up one minute before my alarm clock goes off. ie - it is made of milk and turns sour every day This lad I know had a clock purchased by his mam and dad when they visited a muslim country when the alarm went off it made a singing sound like a man was singing songs from the koran |

yeah, that kind of works for me... although I don't visualize all that, it just kind of works automatically... but I guess subconsciously I do think about it, or maybe it's just that I've been basically getting up the same time every day for years... :) |

If I don't jump up and kill the alarm, like if I'm just too exhausted, my mom comes in turns it off for me. Then she leaves for work, and I sleep till 3 cuz I don't have a fuckin' clock!!! Then she blames me, the biyatch. |

i need to change the time of my alarm clock from 7:47 to 7:46. i like 7:46 much more. seratonin is the chemical that makes us tired. people have trouble waking up because there is much seratonin flowing through the brain after they have been brought out of sleep. just by closing your eyes for a few minutes starts to produce seratonin. sleep also occurs in three hour shifts i believe. or it's 1.5 hour shifts. according to The Learning Channel, alarm clocks are one of the most annoying inventions ever. other annoying inventions included parking meters, leaf blowers, and very loud car stereos. |

I think it's 1.5 hour cycles... and really, one of those contains 5 parts... it's called the sleep cycle... |

there are four stages in one sleep cycle, actually REM sleep i think is the fifth stage. first stage is mainly alpha waves, second is beta, third and fourth are gamma waves. after the body goes through this, it goes backwards to the first, then after the first is REM sleep. stage1>stage2>stage3>stage4>stage3>stage2>stage1>REM |

i start work at 12:00 and i can normaly set my allarm to 10:30 sio that i can snooze til 11:15 and then just manage to get a shower and unicycle briskly to work grabbing a cornish pasty en route. but if i need to get up early, like 9:00 or something i put my allarm clock on the other side of the room, so that i have to get up to turn it off. however this just means that i walk accross the room like a zombie and turn it off. and then go back to bed. |

Well, I just learned about sleep and all that in Psychology... there are 5 distinct sleep cycles I should say... it goes something like this stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, stage 4, stage 3, stage 2, and then REM... And REM sleep is also called Paradoxical sleep, because it's the deepest sleep, but it shares a lot of similar characteristics with stage 1, the lightest sleep... |
