Being born-lazy person, it is always difficult for me to wake early in morning. I always relied on my mom for this. Not to mention she is early-riser. But the fun started when I left my city n family for work.
The very first city I was in is Hyderabad. We four were sharing one big apartment in Banjara hills. Life was very smooth, except one thing. We had to catch company bus at 8:05am. I had to wake up at least before 7am, and I remember it hardly happened. In such scenario I found my mobile little reliable as morning alarm. Due to weird ringtone, i used to getup on time. But some how this trick didn't work for long. One fine day, I woke up with my morning alarm. but was surprised to see my other roomies were around me. One was holding ringing mobile very close to my ear, and other two were having weird expressions. The alarm rang for around one hour and it woke up all except me. considering fact that, we all used to sleep in different rooms, it was very embarrassing moment for me. As a solution, I used to change ringtone every weekend. Even my roomies used to stop bus for me, and I used to run for bus while wearing belt.
I traveled many places alone till now, at every place I faced different kind of problems with my morning alarms. When I was in paris, For initial period of 10 months I used to stay alone. I faced trouble with waking up early again. I tried some alarm softwares in my laptop, but no use. Finally I tried the weirdest trick. I scheduled 'windows media player' for one song. The song selection was tricky. I selected the song with lots of bits, noisy and the one which i never liked. This happened to be one panjabi bhangra with RAP. Wow! this trick worked. This song was irritating enough to break my morning sleep. And to bring some more variety to this, I found few more songs to add to list (thanks to all those artists who created such irritating songs :D). This morning alarm has been experienced by my guests (specially NK, MT.......sorry guys). This alarm was sudden morning shock for them. But when I shifted with NG in new apartment in Paris, the first thing NG annoyed with was my weird alarm. And he agreed to wake me up instead.
I read about some alarm clock which has irritating ringtones and has wheels. At alarm time, it rings, run away and hides in somewhere. It keep on ringing from the hidden place. It forcefully wakes you up for searching it. After all this exercise, its sure the you will not go back to bed again. But now I am looking for some nice ideas for morning alarms.
- How about this one, The alarm will keep on ringing till you solve one sudoku.
- Or it has some long and difficult code to put it off.
- it gives punch with heavy boxing glove
- you can use your boss's voice as ringtone.
