Inspired by the SB convo.

So what tune or alarm do you guys wake up to every morning? Do you use a regular alarm clock that beeps and you press snooze, or do you have it set so that you can wake up to a certain song? Do you sleep through it or does it wake you up easily?

We do have an alarm clock but whenever it goes off, the radio plays and that can be quite irritating since you hear this random static music. That's typically set at 6 or 8 a.m, depending what time my husband wakes up. Sometimes I'll sleep through it (or I'll wake up for a few seconds and fall back asleep), and in that case I have my 7:00 A.M cell phone back-up. I have the "Chop Suey" ringtone as my alarm and that thing seriously makes my heart beat faster than its usual pace.

I'd be in the middle of my dream and the next thing I hear is:

"WAKE UP! Grab a brush and put a little make up! Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup, Why'd you hide the keys upon the table?! Here you go create another fable!" :wacko:

I make sure that my cell is sitting on a chair beside my bed so I can reach for it and turn it off right away. It sucks having to get up from bed and walk around the room just to turn the thing off, so every night it's become a routine to place my cell near my bed. =]

I'm starting to hate the song, but I need it, especially on Mondays and Wednesdays for when I have school in the morning.
 
The most ear piercing sound I could find on my cell phone at the highest volume possible :P Music just can't wake me up no matter what it is.
 
I try using an alarm clock, the song I wake up to is, pardon the pun, Godspeed by Anberlin. If I have it set on the maximum volume, it can wake me up fairly easily. I used to have the bells ringing. But that never woke me up. I'm still not getting sick of the song, but after a year of it, I might change it.
 
I use my phone alarm as it allows me to make it go off at 5 different times which I basically set from 6:25am and every 10 minutes until 7:05 with a different song for each alarm, however, I never actually get up and end up staying in bed 'til 7:30 :)
 
Every day aside from weekends I have woken up to 'Guns N' Roses - Paradise City' from my phone alarm. I hate that song so much now >_< However I dare not change it to another song in case I ruin yet another song.

I used to love Paradise City. =(

My partner always seems to set his alarm for different times depending on whether he needs to do something before work or not. All I hear then is a radio station that hasn't been tuned in, in like ever. >_<
 
I use my fone for my alarm, the tune it is set to is called the beautiful alarm......its a horrible evil little tune, as soon as i hear it im straight up out of bed. The only thing to stop me throwing my alarm off the wall is the fact that my fone cost too much money to go and break>_<
 
My mother is my alarm. Seriously, she wakes me up at whatever time I need to be up at, then I just..get up. Sometimes I use an alarm clock, but not very often at all.
 
I just use my phone, I place it right next to my pillow. It's set to the song "Wake up" by Rage Against the Machine. I've never slept through it, but I have woken up and gone back to sleep before, so I usually set it to go off two or three times if I have to wake up for something important. I usually tell my mum to wake me up for important stuff too, just in case.
 
Caramelldansen. There's just something about that song that jolts me right out of sleep. I love the song but it irritates the hell out of me when I'm woken up by it. It's too freaking happy for the morning, seriously. XD I do have a secondary alarm just in case set to I kissed a Girl and I liked it. Fortunately never had to rely on that one to wake me up. >_>

That's what happens to me when I'm at home. She normally wakes me up at around 10ish then I fall asleep again, and she complains that half the day has gone.

But normally I use my ipod speakers to wake me up. Killing in the name of at 9.30 in the morning normally wakes me up. But I changed it recently. It's now in the belly of a shark. The epic guitar solo is almost the best possible way to start the day.

My phone for me, too. Just not with Rage Against the Machine, because then I'd be super moody all day. :P I wake up with some default ringtone on my phone. (Which is annoying as hell, as well.)
 
I use my phone coz I could never work out how to use the damn alarm clock <_<

My alarm is just a stanard annoying bell thing. I don't have much use for it anymore though, but Danny ughh, he records his own, which although funny at the time, is irritating in the morning when his phone screams WAKE UP DANNY YOU HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW TODY HAHA KELLY YOU HAVE TO GET UP TO, over and over and...... >_>

A standard bell will work. I could neer have music, because it would either wakew me up far to slowly or not at all
 
I have the Alarm with the bell thing. I actually had about 9 of that alarm but we have a bad history together. It seems whenever the alarm start ringing, I grab it, and throw it to the nearest wall with all of my power!
 
I don't really need an alarm any more because I never get up early but I usually use songs on my phone when I do. I think I've only gone through 5 songs my entire life, ever since my senior year of high school. They were (in order of usage):
  • "Jesters of the Moon" from Final Fantasy 9
  • "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin
  • "Man on the Silver Mountain" by Rainbow
  • "Run to You" by Bryan Adams
  • "House Theme Song"
The House Theme song is the one I use now whenever I have to wake up early. It's got a distinctive enough sound to wake me up without being too loud or unsettling. I used "Jesters of the Moon" for about 4 years straight...
 
I have one alarm set to sort-of NPR, where it's like half static and half news/jazz. Shit annoys the shit out of me and I can't sleep through it no matter how hard I try. It's got like two alarms in it, and I usually set them ten minutes apart, and then hit snooze once or twice after. Then on the other side of my room is a regular beeping alarm, which I set sometime after the first two just in case.
 
Right now I have the song: Those Night ~ by Skillet.

I put the phone as far away from my bed as possible so that I have to get up instead of just quieting the phone nearby. Otherwise I just hit it and sleep right through it for 4 more hours.
 
We use a radio alarm. I set the frequency inbetween channels, so all that comes through is static -- it will literally rip you right out of any REM cycle. Have the time I've jumped out of bed before i can even turn the damn thing off. We are generally up by 6:00

Ahaha, most of the time my brother/mum is my alarm clock. They will not stop waking me up till' I'm outta bed. -__-

But If I am using an alarm clock, I used my phone. I usally put like 10 alarms so I wake up, I usally put 3 alarms on the same time and put different songs so it mixes and it's really annoying so I wake up. >_>

Then the rest are about 5 minutes apart. So a little snooze button, type thing I got going.

EDIT: I put it right near my pillow, of course. :wacky: I also got a a voice recording of me saying 'WAKE UP JAYDEN YOU FUCKING FOOL, IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL' :gasp:
That usally freaks me out enough so I get up.
 
I wake up to the victory fanfare from final fantasy 7, if i don't wake up to that i have my second alarm that is the sound effect from metal gear solid where an enemy spots you.


I always wake up so i don't need a second alarm on my phone, but i leave it just in case i don't get up on time.
 
My DS IS my alarm clock. Hey it's there, why not use it right? Thankfully I am a light sleeper so I always wake up when it goes off. It starts off low but gradually gets louder so it is kind of hard not to hear it go off. However the question is can I actually get out of bed? I always hit the snooze button and go back to sleep only to be woken up 5 minutes later and I always repeat this process until I am nearly running late for whatever I have to do.
