Anyone a heavy sleeper? Help please!

[tabsmonsters]

I am a very heavy sleeper. It doesnt matter if I go to bed at 7pm with my alarm set for 7am I will sleep right through it. I really need to get an alarm loud enough to wake me up. Any suggestions?

Maybe it isnt the loudness but the pitch of the alarm. Try one that rings higher or lower or one with a radio that comes on?

Get one of those wind up alarm clocks..... The metal ones with the bells on the top. Those things are loud! I use to be a real heavy sleeper, and i would turn my alarm off in my sleep. Try having a coupple different alarms( about 3 that all make different sounds). Set them in different spots in your room, and none of them within reach of the bed. Set the alarms to go off about a minute or 2 apart of each other.

My dad has an alarm clock that starts out beeping slowly, then gains in speed. It's pretty loud, and the variation in tempo keeps your brain from ignoring it.

When I uses to have to set the alarm I would place it across the room so I would HAVE to get up and turn it off. I do not remember the name of the alarm but it was LOUD cymbals crashing and elephants. You get the picture right? Every obnoxious noise you can think of.

Also we just saw an alarm in my husbands sciencw catalog that jumps up and go hides if you hit the snooze more than once!!!!

I've tried everything and nothing has worked for me. I am like you, I can go to bed at 7 and not wake up until 11 or 12.

I am going to try these, when I quit buying chickens and have some money

I have a rooster that will do the trick!

Put him in a nice victorian bird cage by your bed at night and he is GAR-U-NTEED to wake you up at 6:30 AM SHARP!

He is for sale... Rooster No. 1!

He has been sleeping in our guest bedroom at night as to keep the neighbors happy. I sleep like the dead AND wear earplugs (DH Snores) and this little sucker wakes me up like I have never been woken up before!

Im a light sleeper. I can hear a pin drop at the neighbors....





Not really but I know when my boys are trying to sneak out of their beds at 2 am..

I'm a heavy sleeper once I'm asleep. My Ex used to have this REALLY annoying talking alarm clock that would get louder and MORE annoying if you didn't turn it off right away. He was a snooze button hitter.
Well, finally after 45 minutes of hitting the snooze button one morning, I threw that alarm clock across the room at the wall, and it spoke no more

So, if you are looking for a really annoying, wake up the dead alarm clock, get one that talks, and gets louder if you don't turn it off. If that thing could wake me up, it would wake up anyone.

I'll try to google that evil thing, and get a picture of it for you. I'll post a link if I can find it.

My kids are my alarm clock - can't sleep through the racket they make combined with jumping on the bed

DH needs a loud alarm clock - he sets it to a heavy metal radio station - volume up all the way - across the room, so he has to get up to turn it off. It's very hard to ignore.

When DH was in college he duct taped his alarm to the ceiling above his bed so he had to stand on his bed to shut it off.
