Re: vibrating alarm clocks for night dosing

[Guest guest]

HI Nina,

Thanks for sharing this. My dog is pretty attached to me but now refuses to

sleep in the same room because of being woken up by alarms while chelating in

the night. During a mid-night alarm, he awoke, looked at me somberly and

strolled out of the room.. and has never wanted to sleep at my feet again.

Talk about feeling dogged......There has got to be a way around the alarms!

startling/adrenalin release so it is easier to go back to sleep

afterwards. It is a lot less disruptive to sleep for me.

I got a refurbished version from Sharper Image for $23. There are

other brands in the same price range.

In the day time I use the multi-alarm vibrate or sound Invisible Clock.

How many alarms does this alarm clock have?

If it's only got one, do you reset the alarm for another time while you are

up for your pills? This sounds like it would be more rousing than an

audible alarm!

Thanks!

See the Links section for the Invisible Clock. It is a fancier

clock with multiple alarms. My timer is about to give up, and

I'm thinking of ordering one of these.

Has anyone used one of these for a long time? I'm wondering if

they last longer than the one year warranty.

Alas, only one. Don't know if any of the others have multiple alarms.

I reset--not ideal. Vibrating clocks are marketed for people who

don't wake up with audible alarms (and for the hearing impaired), yet

it feels like a much more gentle way to wake up. I feel a bit less

resentful about having to wake up in the middle of the night doing it

this way.
