| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Most effective alarm clock I have ever had I am in love with this alarm clock. I like the large display, the ease of use, and the gentle way the vibrations wake me in the morning. I do not need, or use, the buzzer. I thought it was really loud and harsh. Plus, there is no way I could sleep through the buzzing of my mattresses.
As a law school student who works full time, my sleep is very precious to me. However, I had reached a point where I would often sleep right through my alarm, despite being a light sleeper. I would have dreams of evil armies attacking me with loud noises and I had no choice but to slaughter them in my sleep. Typically, what was really happening was that I was snoozing my other alarm clocks repeatedly, sometimes for hours at a time. When I was truly enraged (in my sleep), I would obliterate the offenses of the other side, meaning, I would actually just turn off the alarm clock. It reached a point where I knew I needed to find something that was more fierce than I, or that didn't seem like it was attacking me in my sleep. After hours of searching, I finally settled on this alarm clock.
I have a queen size bed, and I am not sure how it may affect beds of other sizes. When this clock goes off, I am not jolted out of bed, but I drift awake, similar to when your mom used to nudge you gently in the morning. Only, this nudging mother does not go away just because you yell, and she has no soft heart to give you pity. There is a snooze button, but I learned I have to put this clock far from my reach. The snooze button and the off button feel very similar to a foggy mind and it is easy to hit the wrong one. Plus, when this alarm clock wakes me, I am much more alert than when a buzzing wakes me. This means I snooze far less often, but I do not really feel the need.
For an effective, simple alarm clock, this one is superb and highly recommended. + See Full Customer Review |  |
