Why doesnt my alarm wake me up in the morning?

Question

I set my alarm, and in the mornings it could be going off for 15-30 minutes before i even here it?

Does anybody have any solutions to my problem?

Answer 1

Use your mobile phone alarm and vary the ring tone each day. The brain gets used to hearing one sound and just ignores it. A better alternative is to invest in a radio with alarm. Alarm will go off by switching radio or cd of choice on at whatever volume you want, Cost £20-30. E-bay a lot less.

Good luck.

Answer 2

yes!  i have seen an alarm thats very loud and its a helicopter one where the top spins off and flys somewhere in your room and the only way to turn it off is to find the top and put it back on the clock!

Answer 3

you must be very tired. try going to bed earlier.

Answer 4

You might be a tight sleeper or, are you sure it is working? and by the way....alarm in politics??

Answer 5

1) Have your hearing tested; you may have a problem.

2) Try getting a couple more alarms that have different sounds and setting them all to the same time. The resultant racket should get your attention.

3) Have a friend phone you at your wake-up time.

Answer 6

Answer 7

You could be too tired to hear it. I had the same problem and then discovered I hadn't set it properly lol

Answer 8

Set your alarm and put it in a tin box (biscuit tin) and leave it at the other side of your bedroom - it will drive you nuts when it goes off. lol

Answer 9

Some times it can be too low or you are too tired,

My guess it is a Democrat plot to have you nod out on election

Answer 10

it sounds to me that u need more sleep if the body has not had enough rest it will not wake up, maby u need more hours than you think, failing that get an alarm that has a big rubber malet attached to it so when it goes off the malet hits you in the head and shocks you into reality .

Answer 11

Buy a mule. Tie its harness to one of your ankles with a piece of rope. train it to pull you out of bed when it hears your alarm going off. Problem solved.

Answer 12

I have the same kind of problem. Sometimes I turn of my alarm off while I'm asleep and wake up hours later and I cannot remember doing it. I'm guessing you're just a very heavy sleeper. You should try using a different kind of alarm clock. I've just found this Super Loud Ninja Alarm online that looks pretty good - it's louder than a jackhammer and shakes your bed. I'm rather tempted to buy one. lol

Answer 13

get your ears tested

Answer 14

Hook it up to a car battery and put jumper cables going to your balls.  You'll wake up.
