 It
can be hard to wake up in the morning. Very few people these days
simply wake up at the crack of dawn or when the rooster crows without
the little added help of an alarm clock. An alarm clock is a most
useful tool for anyone who has somewhere to be in the morning. Most
everyone owns an alarm clock. This is not to say that everyone owns
the same sort of alarm clock.
Here are examples of different types of alarm clocks, perhaps ones
that you have not heard of.
Basic Alarm Clock
For some people, the most important feature on an alarm clock is
the sleep button. They may even set the alarm for an hour before
they actually plan on waking up, just so that they can hit the sleep
button. For other people, the most important feature for an alarm
clock is to have 2 alarms that can be set. That way they can have
an earlier alarm set to gentle music and the second alarm set to
annoying beeping.
Basic alarm clocks wake people up by appealing to their sense of
hearing. Of course, not everyone can or wants to wake up because
of a loud noise. In fact, sometimes the incessant beeping of an
alarm clock is enough for a person to wake up in a bad mood. Luckily,
there are other types of alarm clocks.
Vibrating/Shaking Alarm Clock
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just have someone come and
nudge you awake? Well, a shaking alarm clock does just about that.
Shaking alarm clocks were originally invented for the deaf and hearing
impaired - obviously a basic alarm clock is hard pressed to
wake up a deaf person by blaring music. There are Vibrating/shaking
alarm clocks that can simply be attached to your pillow, or there
are ones that are mats that you lay out beneath your sheet. Shaking
alarm clocks generally have multiple settings so that you can increase
or decrease the amount of shaking that your alarm clock gives you.
Sunny Alarm Clock
Some people just like to wake up the old-fashioned way -
they like to rise when the sun rises. One of these alarm clocks
does not appeal to either your sense of touch or your sense of hearing.
Rather, a sunny alarm clock appeals to your sense of sight. With
a sunny type of alarm clock, you can wake up with the sun, no matter
what time you want to wake up. A sunny sort of alarm clock gradually
increases the light that it is emitting until it reaches its full
brightness and you are awake.
