observer Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Do you rely on an alarm system to wake you up - seems folk using one of those I-pod thingies, were late for work, due to their alarms not going off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Any excuse eh How else would people get up without using some form of alarms though Obs ? I set my normal alarm clock for 6.30am and also my mobile phone for 15 minutes later just incase.... both have 'snooze' buttons and both 'snoozes are used My son sets his too but my other half rings us both up from work just to make sure we have both surfaced I hate getting up...

Dizzy Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I don't know SD... If there's news like that making the headlines then it means there's nothing really awful happening like murders etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Nope... why would that make my day start well though Anyway he's big enough and old enough to 'not' make his own breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Believe some of those caught out, were sacked by their bosses - can they sue I-Pod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 They could try but they might get further if they sued Apple instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 can't say that i rely on a mechanical/electrical alarm system as such. i am usually up and about at 7.15 in the morning as it is a time i have been used to getting up at for years. so much so that i find it difficult to sleep past that time even when, like the last week, i am full of the flu (and yes it was the flu and not "man flu") it does mean though that the dog gets walked at a regular time since starting to work for my brother i have had to get up at six in the morning to get the dog walked and see to the usual morning tasks. so i have set my alarm on my phone for six and it goes off on time. i know this as Mrs Sid wakes up at five to six and wakes me up to get ready for work. so i am wide awake when the alarm does go off. despite this i still set it as setting it seems to imprint on my mind that i need to wake up at six which it does. the one time i don't set it will be the time that i will oversleep when i need to be up.
