Alarm clocks: Helpful to you or not?

My cell phone function as my alarm clock. I will put two time for it to sing, one in the 6:00 and one in 6:25. But i think the best alarm clock i have is....my MUM!

Its kind of funny actually...If i dont set my alarm I wont wake up. If I do set my alarm I always wake up before it.

We only use the alarm clock if my husband has to get up for a day shift. Usually neither of us go to work before 3:00 p.m. so we do not need to get up early. We get up whenever we want to then.

I do need an alarm to get up early in the morning. Recently i have joined a gym and i prefer to go to gym in the morning so i have to get up at 6am in the morning which is quite a difficult task for me which cannot be accomplished unless i get up listening to an alarm. eve if i miss out on gym, i have to get up at 8 am in the morning for my office, so i have to use an alarm again. I normally set my alarm in my mobile. i don't have a an alarm clock. and i often tend to go back to sleep after the first time my mobile rings. I am in a habit of taking an extended nap which has proven to be dangerous for me many a times. I have missed some lectures in my college time due to the same habit. but in office, there is no restriction. No one complains even if i am 15mins late to office. Its only during the weekends that i don't set up an alarm to get up but still i tend to get up by 9 or 9:30. May be because i have come into a habit of getting up early..

well... normally the alarm clocks is no use for me... normally i will set my alarm at 7.00am... but i will wake up at 7.45am... hahaha..... for me, my best alarm is my dear... everyday, my dear will call me at 7.18am- 7.20am... so we will chit chat until he reach his office... then i will wake up from my lovely bed.... =)

I wouldn't be able to live without it, however after it wakes me up I stay in bed for another 30 minutes because I just can't wake up right away. I'm so lazy! I really don't know how they did it in the old days, I guess there was the giant clock or the church bells ringing at a certain time.

For me its something very helpful for me, there are times that I sleep so well that I forget that I have to wake up early. Though there are times i can think that its a hoax. LOL Have a nice day and take care!!!

Me and my fiance have an alarm clock and it sits right behind my head but I have always been a heavy sleeper and it never wakes me up,if we set it to wake us up,I will sleep through it,or I will wake up enough to turn it off and go back to sleep and my fiance usually wakes up and has to wake me up,or one of my parents will come into our room and wake us up,if we ask them to,or if they want us to do something or if we have to go somewhere.

hi friend, ya alarm is very use to me for wake up at early morning.take care.

Hi friend,We dont use alarm clock everyday to wake up.We wake up by ourselves everyday.But if we had any programme very early we use our mobiles and set up the alarm.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

It is very hard to get up every morning, so the alarm clock is helpful to me to wake up in the morning.

When I was in college, alarm clocks weren't very helpful for me. I used to set the alarm to its max volume but I still can't hear it in the morning. My housemates used to nag me about it because they're the ones who wakes up because of my alarm. haha. But I've changed. I can hear alarm clocks now and it's definitely very helpful for me. My alarm tone is the same for over a year now and I got used to it already that every time I hear it I wake up immediately. Sometimes though, I would snooze it and get 10 more minutes of sleep. LOL.

At home I realy don't use alarm clock. My mom normally wake me up or sometimes my sister did. It works out for me. But there were time that i use it, that's the time i really need to wake up in a certain time. It is very helpful.

My body is almost like clockwork, but I still use an alarm clock. Almost without fail, I will wake up around 7:30 during the week and 9:00 on the weekends. Even though I can wake up around 7:30, I'd much rather hit snooze and go back to sleep for an hour!

Yup. I do think that alarm clocks are very helpful. I don't usually have problems of getting up once the alarm on my phone goes off. I go to work practically everyday so I really need one... Or else I will forever be late for work. Lol.

I'm with you, I may wake up during the night, but if I didn't have the alarm, I'd be up the creek about getting up for the day.

I rarely use an alarm clock. I can wake up well at the time I wanted to. You might not believe me on this one but its true. I just think about what time I want to wake up in the morning and I do wake up 5 minutes before or after the time I wish to wake up. It like having an internal alarm clock in my body. I once read a book on how to do it and I have applied such program. All you have to do is picture the time you wish to wake up in the morning as you go to sleep. You simply close your eyes and imagine the time you wish to wake up. Its like programming your subconscious mind. It does work for me. Best to you!

I use my cell phone as alarm clock. But it is only for back-up in case my built-in alarm will not wake me up, that is usually when I had a stressful work day, I tend to sleep deep. Only then my alarm clock (a.k.a. cell phone) is called for. Most of the time I wake up before the alarm clock goes on. Anyway, I put lots of alarm reminders in my cell phone, like time to go up, time to go to work.. sometimes i will also put "time to go home" from work.. hehehe..

i live with my boyfriend who is an alarm fanatic (if there is anything like that) anyway i dont mind being woken by an alarm, infact it will keep me from being late in the morning, but this dude has set like 4 or 5 alarms, and i am exaggirating, his alarms start ringing from seven oclock and go on till 8oclock,with 10minutes pause in between, i still dont understand why he has so many because by the time the second is going off am already out of bed and looking for the source of the sirens,he on the other hand sleeps through them without breaking a sweat

Alarm Clock is so helpful with me.I cant wake up with help from my alarm clock.I am always late if my alarm clock doesn't work.
