Alarm Clocks For Heavy Sleepers

Alarm Clocks For Heavy Sleepers

Alarm Clock

When choosing alarm clocks for heavy sleepers there are a number of considerations to be aware of. These alarm clocks are for anyone who frequently sleeps through an ordinary alarm clock. A heavy sleeper just won’t hear an ordinary alarm because it isn’t loud enough. That said, heavy sleeper alarm clocks are effective, as the customer reviews from the top selling alarm clocks will testify.

Compare an alarm clock that makes 80 decibels of sound to one that gives out 115 decibels and you will see what I mean. That is loud. But it is not just the sound alone that wakes us up. You can find that you get used to the sound of an alarm clock and when that happens you will probably ignore it and go back to asleep.

Alarm clocks for heavy sleepers have an adjustment for the tone and the loudness, so you can adjust the volume and the pitch to create your own irritating brand of sound that you know you won’t be so likely to sleep through when it comes to waking you up. Bear in mind these loud alarm clocks can wake up others apart from yourself, if unleashed to their maximum volume.

What To Look For

Look for an alarm clock that will let you test the sound before you decide to use it, and be wary of using it full volume without testing the noise level first. If you’re not sure how much noise 110 decibels is, it’s a good idea to try it out first, because that could be what wakes you up in the morning.

Don’t Wake The Neighbours

If you have someone sleeping in the same room you won’t want to wake them as well. Dual alarm clocks are ideal if you and your partner need to woken up at different times. This is where the bed shaker comes in really useful. The bed shaker is a small, round pad which is attached to the alarm clock via a cord, and when the alarm goes off the bed shaker vibrates. The usual places to site the bed vibrator before you go to sleep, are under the pillow, or under the mattress. Bed vibrators are very effective, and they are less intrusive when it comes to waking you up. It’s like someone rolling your shoulder to wake you up.

Some alarm clocks for heavy sleepers have an outlet for a lamp, which flashes when the alarm goes off. This is useful for anyone who does not like waking up in the dark.

To sum up, alarm clocks for the hearing impaired or hard of hearing are just the kind of specialist alarm which does get you up in the morning, by a combination of a bed shaker and an audible alarm.

TIMEX T156BX Shake ‘n Wake Alarm Clock

The TIMEX T156BX Shake ‘n Wake Alarm Clock has the words Wacky Wake-up written above the digital LCD display. The clock is round shaped and is black in colour. The shake n wake alarm clock is unusual to look at, being round in shape, it is held upright by a number of white domes which add to the clock’s unique appearance. There is a large blue coloured snooze / repeat alarm button on the top of the clock.

Buy On Amazon

Below the LCD time display there are four push buttons to advance the time forwards and backwards, and there is an alarm set / reset button to alter the alarm settings.

The clock numbers are in black against a blue background and there is a coloured backlight to enable them to be seen in the dark.

The Timex Shake n Wake Alarm clock can wake you with seven humorous phrases, spoken in different accents, that will amuse you, make you laugh, and hopefully get you out of bed. Try positioning the Timex Shake n Wake across the other side of the room so you have to get out of bed to turn it off. You can also turn the alarm volume up and down.

The TIMEX T156BX Shake ‘n Wake Alarm Clock is an amusing way to be woken up in the morning and is surprisingly effective. Click here for the reviews.

Roberts CR9971 Clock Radio Review

Roberts CR9971 Clock Radio

Our research shows the Roberts CR9971 Chronologic Vi Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Instant Time Set as being rated highly by customers who have purchased this product, in terms of being easy of use, easy to read, the display which has an auto dimmer being responsive to different brightness levels, and the sound quality is reported as good.

Reliable and Accurate

The Roberts CR9971 is a well designed clock that is easy to read and reliable when it comes to keeping the correct time. The time is pre set at the factory, so that when you first switch on the alarm clock it picks up the pre set time from the long life battery which comes with the clock. This is a useful feature and one you can rely on in the event of a power cut. You can also set the time and date manually.

Visit Web Site

Battery Power

You can of course operate this alarm clock radio on battery only without ever plugging into the AC power supply but eventually you will need to replace the battery. Battery life from new is stated to be three years, so the less dependent you are on the battery the longer it lasts.

Automatically Changes

The Roberts CR9971 automatically makes the correct time adjustments in Spring and Autumn when the clocks change.

Dual Alarms

There are dual alarms which can be set for different times which is handy if there are two of you needing to wake up at different times.

The CR9971 has weekdays only alarm and there is a weekend only alarm, so if you want to have a lie in at the weekend and wake up an hour or two later than normal, use the weekend only alarm. You can set the alarm for Monday to Saturday and there is a Sunday only alarm.

Snooze Button

There is a snooze button located at the top front of the alarm clock, and pressing this button silences the buzzer or radio for 9 minutes, and activates the alarm display in flashing mode. You can press the snooze button again during the 1 hour alarm time.

Setting the sleep timer means you can program the Roberts CR9971 radio to switch off after being on for a maximum time of 90 minutes. And you can listen to the radio only if you wish. There is a wire aerial located at the rear of the clock and this is for tuning to FM radio stations. For convenience there is a 3.5mm socket for headphones or an ear piece.

The radio can receive FM and MW radio stations.

Guarantee

There is a twelve months guarantee with this alarm clock radio.

User Guide / Instructions

The instruction book which comes with the alarm clock is detailed and easy to understand.

Sony ICFC318S Clock Radio Review

Posted by alarmclocks on March 15, 2012
Posted in Alarm Clock Deals • Alarm Clocks For Teenagers | Tagged With: clock radio, sony

The best feature of the Sony ICFC318S Clock Radio is that this clock is a dual alarm, meaning if the first alarm fails to wake you up and get you moving then there is backup alarm to follow. Say you want to be up and wide awake for 7am you could set the radio to come on at 6.30 am and the alarm to come on at 6.45 am. Not only is a dual alarm handy if you oversleep but it comes into its own when there are two people who need to get up at different times. There again, you could have one alarm for weekdays and one for weekends only.

There are two alarms and there is a quick set mode.

Three intensity settings for the LED display light.

Features of the Sony ICFC318S Clock Radio

Compact style clock radio, though at least two reviewers wrote it is bigger than they thought.

Large LED display making it easy to read from a distance.

The green illumination is easy on the eyes.

FM/AM tuner to tune into your favourite radio stations.

Dual alarm with easy setting. Ideal for many scenarios.

You can have the alarm volume high or low.

Auto time setting (inclusive of auto summer time adjustment) meaning the time is preset at the factory.

Extendible snooze. Tapping the snooze button once gives you an extra 10 minutes and you can repeat this as many times as you want after each 10 minutes, or you can lengthen the snooze time by tapping two or more times.

Brightness control to alter the brightness of the LED display.

Pros

Our research found the following comments in favour of the Sony ICFC318S Clock Radio: Automatic time setting, meaning the time is set in the factory, and resetting in the event of a power cut.
Quick set mode on the alarms.
Radio reception is good.
The fact there is a backup battery
The clock is easy to read and operate
Big snooze button
When adjusting the time, you don’t need to cycle through another 24 hours if you overshoot the correct time setting.
Separate controls for setting each alarm.

Sonic Alert SBJ525ss Sonic Bomb Jr Review

Posted by alarmclocks on March 13, 2012
Posted in Alarm Clocks For Heavy Sleepers • Loud Alarm Clock • Super Loud Alarm Clock | Tagged With: "the bomb", bed shaker, Bomb snooze diffuser, pulsating alarm

A Review Of The Sonic Alert SBJ525ss Sonic Bomb Jr

Designed for people of all ages the Sonic Alert SBJ525ss Sonic Bomb Jr is a super loud alarm clock, at 102 decibels of noise. This is a lot of noise and if you don’t already know how loud this noise equivalent is, let me compare it for you to the noise a garbage truck makes, or the sound of power tools.

Just remember that’s the sound to wake up to, so to the unwary, that can be a big assault on the ears, going from quiet to the urgent sound of power tools or a garbage truck. However, you can adjust the volume and tone to suit yourself, and make it easier on the ears.

For those who are hard to wake up in a morning and the hard of hearing the Sonic Alert SBJ525ss Sonic Bomb Jr might be just the solution you are looking for. This alarm clock comes with a 9 volt bed shaker, which some might argue is a less stressful method of being woken up in a morning.

Sonic Alert SBJ525ss Sonic Bomb Jr

If you are not familiar with a bed shaker, it is a pod like attachment, attached to the alarm clock by a cord, which you can position under the pillow or under the mattress, for example, and when the alarm goes off, the vibrator shakes the sleepy person awake. It’s a bit like a friend gently rocking your shoulder to wake you up in a morning.

When the alarm goes off there is a pulsating flashing alert and an intermittent audible alarm. You can adjust the volume and tone of the sound to whatever level of sound suits you best and there is a battery backup, just in case the power goes off.

Ideal for college kids, shift workers and anyone who is hard to wake up in a morning.

The Sonic Alert SBJ525ss Sonic Bomb Jr currently shows a high number of positive reviews, on a small total number of reviews so far. Click here to read them.

Kidsleep Night Light Alarm Clock – Bunny Night Light Review

Posted by alarmclocks on February 18, 2012
Posted in Alarm Clocks For Girls • Alarm Clocks For Kids • Uncategorized | Tagged With: bunny alarm clock, kid'sleep

Bunny Night Light

The Kidsleep night light alarm clock is a sleep trainer that teaches kids when its time to get up. It’s one solution when parents want to stay asleep while kids have other ideas. It takes a little time for them to get used to the idea, but kids do adapt when they understand the concept. The Kidsleep clock face is divided into two halves, either of which is lit up at any one time.

As the bunny night light is on all the time, it provides the child with a useful nightlight. When the child looks at the clock and sees bunny awake he/she knows it’s ok to wake up. If the child sees bunny asleep lit up, the child knows to stay in bed. The concept is easy for young children to understand which is why this clock is popular with parents.

The clock is silent, and there is an optional alarm of a bird chirping sound followed by a rooster crowing. The Kidsleep clock has three levels of brightness, dual night time and or naptime settings. It comes with two spare bulbs.

This product does not require kids to have colour recognition. The Kidsleep works because kids easily relate to the sleeping and waking images.

The Kidsleep Night Light alarm clock is mains operated, which means if you unplug, or you lose power, you lose the clock settings as there is no battery backup.

Screaming Meanie Timer and Alarm Clock with 120 dB Alarm Review

Posted by alarmclocks on January 19, 2012
Posted in Alarm Clocks For Heavy Sleepers • Loud Alarm Clock | Tagged With: elderly, personal

Screaming Meanie 220 Alarm Clock

The Screaming Meanie Timer and Alarm Clock with 120 dB Alarm is one of those alarm clocks that you would probably buy if you really needed to wake up on time. It could also be used as a backup alarm. Originally made for truck drivers, the Screaming Meanie is determined to get you awake no matter what, and it keeps ringing until you turn it off. Could also be useful to the hard of hearing, the elderly and for sleepers who are just hard to wake up in a morning.

Screaming Meanie Features

There are three alarm level settings, each one giving a different level of loudness: 70Db which is about the noise level of a vacuum, 90Db is the noise a diesel truck makes and 120Db is a bit more noise than a jet makes flying overhead at 300 metres.

To turn the Screaming Meanie off you need to press three buttons together. You’d need to be reasonably awake to achieve this level of coordination.

The TZ220 can be used as a countdown timer at sports events.

Useful to carry with you as a personal alarm.

You will need to reset the alarm after every time it goes off.

There is a pre-alarm which sounds 10 minutes and 5 minutes before the real alarm sounds off.

Runs on battery only.

Moshi Voice Interactive Talking Alarm Clock

Posted by alarmclocks on January 8, 2012
Posted in Voice Activated Alarm Clock | Tagged With: talking alarm clock

IVR Interactive Voice Response Alarm Clock

The Moshi IVR alarm clock is a time talking alarm clock for the visually impaired and for anyone who wants a change from more traditional bedside alarm clocks. The IVR is a talking alarm clock that responds to commands spoken to it. When you say “Hello Moshi” to the Moshi alarm, it responds in conversational mode by saying in response, “command please.” In other words it wants to know what you want it to do for you. You can’t just say anything to the Moshi alarm, and there are 12 voice activated commands that it can respond to.

Because the Moshi voice activated clock responds to voice commands, it means you don’t have to press buttons to customise the clock settings. Not only can you set the time and alarm without touching the alarm clock, you don’t even need to look at it if you don’t want to. All you need do is speak to it. That makes the Moshi alarm suitable for those with fingers that can’t adjust small dials and buttons, and for the elderly and infirm, as well as everyone else.

I have enclosed a video showing the Moshi IVR interactive voice response alarm in action. In particular watch the Moshi alarm set the time, set the alarm, change the alarm sound and give out the current temperature and today’s date. All useful stuff, especially today’s date which I sometimes struggle to find.

Other functions of the Moshi alarm are, to turn on or off the night light, to give a list of the three sleep sounds, list the three alarm sounds, and to play the sleep sound previously chosen. There is also a useful help command, which saves having to look something up in the owner’s manual.

Sony ICFC218S Clock Radio Review

Alarm Clocks For Teenagers – And The Not So Young

Sony ICFC218S Alarm Clock Radio

I wanted to find alarm clocks for teenagers and the Sony ICFC218S Clock Radio came up in the search results. This is a popular selling alarm clock, not only for teenagers, so it looked a good product for closer scrutiny.

The first, and most noticeable feature in my opinion, is it has a large and clear LED display. This is important because I want to be able to read the display clearly, without needing to put my glasses on.

The second feature I noticed is that there is an AM / FM radio. I like to listen to the radio in bed, so that is another plus. There is the option of being woken by the radio or buzzer, which is useful to know.

Another nice feature of the Sony ICFC218S Clock Radio is there is a button for Summer Time adjustment which save the hassle of needing to make the adjustment manually. Like the clock radio I already own, the ICFC218S has a 12 hour time format, so I am used to that interface.

With the clock radio alarm I currently have, I need to advance the clock several hours to adjust the time setting. Using the Sony ICFC2185 you can adjust the time forwards and backwards. That’s a time saver.

I like the feature where the more times you click the snooze button the longer it snoozes.

The clever part of this alarm clock is you don’t need to set the time. It arrives with the time having been pre set at the factory, so you just plug it in and it’s ready to use straight away. A backup battery is also installed, so you are covered in case of power cuts. The instructions regarding the automatic setting of this clock radio, as are all aspects of using the alarm clock, are included with the product.

There is a choice of being woken by the radio or by buzzer.

I noticed the Sony ICFC218S is a good fit for the bedside table, which is important to know. The buttons are easy to find in the dark, and the radio sound quality is good.

Alarm Clocks For Girls – Girls Alarm Clocks

Posted by alarmclocks on October 16, 2011

Alarm Clocks For Girls

Alarm clocks for girls make great gifts around holiday time, as well as being an essential part of the girl’s bedroom décor. Girls of a certain age like their independence and that means they like to be in charge of when they wake, and getting themselves up in a morning generally. Teenage girls fit into this category very well.

Younger girls sleeping on their own would need an alarm clock which has a night light. One which can vary in intensity, as obviously the light wouldn’t need to be so bright as to keep the child awake. Alarm clocks in a fun shape would also appeal to girls. Some alarm clocks have digital faces others are of the traditional hour and minute hand variety, often with a custom clock face to make the clock more appealing to girls. Some clocks have an image of a princess on the clock face.

Educational Alarm Clocks For Girls

The educational type of alarm clock is popular with children. That is one which teaches them not to wake up until a pre determined time, and it teaches them to read the time as well. As the child ages, this function becomes redundant, but there’s no need to get rid of the clock just yet because it can then be used just as an alarm clock.

Girls alarm clocks come in a range of different colours but the favourite colour is pink. A girls pink alarm clock can be the envy of her friends when they see it in her bedroom. First thing they do when they see their parents afterwards is tell them they want one the same.

Girls Alarm Clock Radio

KitSound CLOCKDPI Clock Radio Dock for iPod / iPhone – Punk Pink

Girls Pink Alarm Clock

This fashionable looking alarm clock, which is just the right size for a bedside table, is a docking station for an iPod. It is also a clock and a radio. Presented in eye catching Punk Pink colour, the front of the KitSound Clockdpi is shiny mirrored with obvious uses for a girl. Nice three in one solution for the modern girl who needs a place to charge the iPod, and alarm and a radio. Three in one solution.

Alarm Clocks For Kids – Not Just An Ordinary Alarm Clock

Posted by alarmclocks on September 26, 2011
Posted in Alarm Clocks For Kids | Tagged With: fun, funky, teaching

Alarm Clocks For Kids

When it comes to choosing alarm clocks for kids there is plenty of choice. Alarm clocks for children are available in some very bright, eye catching colours and the main benefit of them is that many serve as teaching aids as well, which is great for parents.

They not only teach your children to tell the time, but the kids learn when its OK to wake up and get out of bed. Many of the alarm clocks for kids I looked at also tend to grow up with the child, meaning some kids clocks can be used as normal alarm clocks when the child has outgrown the teaching functions.

Alarm Clocks For Kids – Three Examples

Take the Onaroo Teach Me Time Nightlight with Sleep Trainer and Time Teaching Clock for example. This alarm clock will teach very young children when its time to wake. And parents can change the nightlight settings so that it changes to green (OK to wake) at a time to suit them. As the child gets older you can disable the colour changing option if you wish.

By that age the child will probably want to use the clock as a fully functional alarm clock with a snooze button, just like their parents. The Onaroo Teach Me Time alarm clock teaches a child the time in analogue and digital formats. There are even five different levels of difficulty to test the child’s understanding further.

The Gro-Clock Sleep Trainer is for children of 2 years and older. Again, its usefulness grows with the child so that when the early learning objectives have been reached, of telling the time and learning when to get out of bed, older children can use the clock as an ordinary alarm clock. This model has a clock face of stars which come out at night and, as the night progresses, the stars become fewer only to disappear completely with the arrival of daylight. The screen brightness is adjustable, and so it serves as a nightlight as well. The Gro-Cock Sleep Trainer comes with a storybook.

The Crayola AM FM Alarm Clock Radio is a little different in that it allows the child to wake up to a voice message of their own choosing. There is a ten second voice recorder. This is in addition to the choice of being woken up by the radio or by an alarm buzzer. There is a gradual wake system and a snooze button. As well as having interchangeable parts this alarm clock automatically changes the colours of the nighlight.

These are just a few examples of alarm clocks for kids.

Under Pillow Vibration Alarm Clock – Review

Posted by alarmclocks on March 1, 2011
Posted in Alarm Clocks For Heavy Sleepers • Loud Alarm Clock • Shake Awake Alarm Clock • Vibration Alarm Clock | Tagged With: deaf, shake

Under Pillow Vibration Alarm Clock Review

The Under Pillow Vibration Alarm Clock is thoughtfully designed, as it has two alarms, one for you and one for your partner. The audible alarm might not be loud enough to wake some heavy sleepers, though you can use both sound and vibration alarms together. The main feature of this vibration alarm clock, is that it shakes you awake. The longer you leave it the more it vibrates.

The vibration alarm element of this alarm clock is likely to be of interest to the hard of hearing or the hearing impaired user, because this alarm relies on the sense of feeling. You simply place it under the pillow and the vibration wakes you up.

The Under Pillow Vibration Alarm Clock is compactly designed which makes it useful for travel or to use in the home. Other features include a temperature display, calendar, and a snooze and back-light. The clock needs 2 AAA batteries, which are not supplied.

Flying Alarm Clock – Review

Posted by alarmclocks on February 22, 2011
Posted in Alarm Clocks For Heavy Sleepers • Annoying Alarm Clocks • Loud Alarm Clock | Tagged With: alarm, cool, flying, novelty

Flying Alarm Clock Review

The Flying Alarm Clock is an interesting alarm clock. It uses a different concept to wake us up, and is designed to get you on your feet and out of bed. The feature that makes this different from the ordinary alarm clock is that when the alarm goes off, the top propeller driven rotor starts to spin and flies off into the air landing on the other side of the bedroom.

The alarm sounds like a siren and it continues to make a noise until you get out of bed, pick up the top propeller and place it back into the alarm clock. It looks to be the ideal gift for someone who finds it hard to get up in the morning.
