Heavy Sleeper? A Loud Alarm Clock Can Help
I know many people who sleep very soundly. They could really benefit from a loud alarm clock. There are many stories about the students who put their clocks across the room on test days to force them out of bed to turn them off. I have seen people walk across a room and turn off an alarm and go back to sleep without waking up. Not being able to wake up easily is a very common and extremely annoying problem. Can you solve the problem with a clock that makes loud noises? If you can, there are lots of very noisy options for you to explore.
One type of alarm clock has a large red bell that is typically used in alarm systems. The giant red metal dome makes for a really loud alarm clock. If that does not do the trick, then you really have some sleep issues. Of course, it works better if you put it slightly out of reach so you have to get up to disable the alarm. Other approaches include beepers that have an unbelievably shrill tone which will cut right through anyone’s sleepy fog. If you cannot awake to an unbelievable racket, then you must look to the root cause. Make sure you keep regular sleep hours. The body will get used to going to sleep and waking up at a specific hour. When your alarm clock goes off at the expected hour, it is much more likely to be successful at waking you up.
There are other approaches to waking the heavy sleeper. We already discussed the red bell dome alarm clock and the shrill beeping clock. There are clocks that simulate ambulance and police sirens. The up and down whooping tones really get the job done. If a loud alarm clock like that doesn’t do it, some of them come with a bed shaker. What’s a bed shaker? It is a device that you place under your pillow or mattress. When the alarm goes off, it vibrates like crazy, waking you up. If an ambulance tone followed by a shaking mattress is not enough to wake you up, then you probably need a live in assistant for live wakeup calls.
