It's very straightforward: Get an old-fashioned mechanical alarm clock with large bells on it. Set it each night, and put it in a resonant metal box. Lock the box. Drop the key into a deep jug of water full of ice cubes. Sleep. Reaching for the key through ice-cold water will make sure you don't go back to sleep. Simples!

I have that problem too. I have long give up phone alarm as the wake up call. I'm using the computer now to wake up. Boots up and starts playing Rammstein. It works. :)

Then do what my people do, drink a tall glass of water before bed.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me

There is your solution then! Set the phone to vibrate and attach it to the cat. His attempts to get away from it will wake you up. Possibly with a need for A&E, but you will be awake.

Did you know: That by counting the rings on a tree trunk, you can tell how many other trees it has slept with.

I have a Tivoli Moedl 3 radio/alarm box, when it's set to ring using a tone (instead of radio) it make an really loud annoying noise. other than that, you could play a interview with either Ann Coulter or Sarah Palin.

Watched code never compiles.

But you wake up on time, right?

Nobody with a cat needs an alarm clock in the morning. Cats have accurate timers built in and usually patiently watch you sleep - until it's time to get up.

A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

For a long time I've had "Twisted Nerves[^]" (Kill Bill - Ellen Driver theme) set as alarm. Worked quite effectively, somehow....

Put the phone in the bedside table drawer. the extra mental effort in opening the drawer will wake you up. or go to sleep earlier. The fact you overslept by a whole 2 hours means you had under budgetted.

He could set it to vibrate and put it up to his…never mind…

My Palm Pre has a free app called waketube where you can set it to use any youtube video as an alarm sound. I've found that the Meow Mix theme song seems to work best for me.... Since Palm's app store is abismally small, I'm sure that every other app store has something similiar... On the other hand...you are at the mercy of Youtube and your phone's internet connection to wake up

What really works best for me is setting the heating to make it 20 degrees by the time I want to wake up. It has never failed me. It's so uncomfortable that you will not even be tempted to roll over and go back to sleep. You will just want to get the heck out.

[NormDroid]

Buy a decent alarm clock.

Two heads are better than one.

[Simon_Whale]

failing that get an alarm clock for the deaf or hard of hearing. you put part of the alarm clock under your pillow and it vibrates the whole pillow

As barmey as a sack of badgers
