Beep...beep...beep...beep......

Invention...the word itself is peppy....Every now and then people invent or try inventing something somewhere.... Man invented it and he himselves has become an addict or dependant to it........ One such invention is the ' ALARM CLOCK".

My husband and many of my friends are terribly dependant on it. Whatever be the time they fix an alarm. Without which they cant even imagine getting up.As the name implies the beep from the alarm triggers an alarm to their brain.And many even snooze it a lot. My hubby snoozes it atleast 3 or 4 times.I am not an alarm person. I can manage getting up myselves but comparitively i get a disturbed sleep if i am supposed to wake up very much early in the morning otherwise i am good.

Its quite common among many people, how about you all? Share ur experience here.

Cindhuja : I need an alarm to wake up but I don' t use the snooze feature cuz if I do I would be doing that all morning long and missing work or appointments

I envy people who can wake on their own.

Cindhu,
Me too get up at the desired time...if needed to get up early...i will keep alarm for namesake..at times I keep it 15-30 min. earlier, so that I can get up on time..

Cindhuja dear
Good topic.. my dh does not need one but I do.. and over the years after hitting snooze too many many snooze, now have my dh bring me coffee.. oops.. let out the secret. Now what would you think of me????

BTW, they have found this JUMPING alarm clock.. which will jump from where ever is kept and keep rolling or rather running away from you.. this is for serious snooze hitters like me!!!!!!!

Bhiku bhai happy to know that atleast u dont snooze it. Once we get used to that habit we cant get rid of it easily.

Dear sriniketan,

Even my mom used to keep an alarm 10 or 15 mins earlier....Even the clocks in our home will be tuned 10 mins fast by my mom and she says it helps her get done with the work on time

Dear AC,

If at all my hubby found one such jumping alarm, obviuously it will be me who will have to run after it instead of him

Dear Cindhuja,

Here are the details of the alarm clock that flies. This new alarm clock(BlowFly) will wake you up by flying around your head! This is something cool to buy. When it goes off, this alarm clock launches a small, noisy helicopter to hover over your bed.


One thing that sometimes wakes you up at night and prevents you from sleeping is the mosquito or blowfly when flying around your room. You can't and don't want to fall asleep again until you've caught it. These produces adrenalin and requires movements. The alarm clock blowfly works like a "blowfly" that at the desire time it escapes from a cage in your room. It starts moving and producing sound around you - to turn it off you should catch it and put it back in the cage

Love,

Geetha Iyer

Dear Cindhu...

My DH keeps alarm ..but Im the one to off it !!!! .. He just keeps it for namesake..Whatever it is he will get up only after 8

I get up without alram at 6:30 ....but this alarm really disturbs me .. that too he keeps the alarm at 5 :30 saying he will go for a walk..but it had never happened !!

I am just like you I think. I do set the alarm if I have to wake up early. But then my system refuses to cooperate with me, sleep wise. As a result, I invariably wake up long before the alarm beeps.
