    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?

    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.

                Set it to vibrate and leave it on a wooden surface. The noise it makes is terrifying.

                    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.

                              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:

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

                                    ~17, I wouldn't find 20 unpleasant normally, but normal room temperature != normal sleeping temperature. 20C is really a lot when you're under a blanket..

                                      I find that the Air Raid Siren noise works well. Keep your phone across the room. Force yourself to get out of bed to turn off the alarm.

                                        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 wife & 3 kids. I don't know the meaning of oversleep.

                                        Everything makes sense in someone's mind

                                          ~17, I wouldn't find 20 unpleasant normally, but normal room temperature != normal sleeping temperature. 20C is really a lot when you're under a blanket..

                                          I only uses a sheet. That said my summer AC is normally around 23C and I grew up in the hottest bedroom of an un air conditioned house; even 30C wouldn't keep me up.

                                          3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
