    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.

      So I overslept again today! But only by 2 hours. I seem to have mastered the art of ignoring an alarm going off right next to my ear... Anyone have a nice annoying alarm tone/mp3 that I can use on my phone?

      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.

          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.

                            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.

                                      So I overslept again today! But only by 2 hours. I seem to have mastered the art of ignoring an alarm going off right next to my ear... Anyone have a nice annoying alarm tone/mp3 that I can use on my phone?

                                      Put the alarm clock across the room so you have to get up to turn it off.

                                        You should probably just go to bed earlier. It is impossible to "sleep through" anything if you aren't over tired :zzz:

                                          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.

                                          20C is around normal room temperature. Where do you normally have your thermostat set to that you find this level exceptionally unpleasant?
