<p>I'll be living in a triple, and I'm not sure about the alarm clock situation. I'll definitely need one, but I'm the kind of person who either
(1) sleeps right through it (I don't know how, but this morning I slept through a solid half-hour of beeping and my brother had to wake me up and turn it off), or
(2) abuses the snooze button.</p>
<p>The above two features would make me a terrible roommate. I've read about the ShakeAwake alarm clock, which causes silent vibrations on your pillow, and wonder if I should get that.</p>
<p>I guess I'm just wondering... how do you (especially those of you living in triples!) manage the alarm clock situation?</p>
<p>An alarm clock (at least to function as a clock) is a must but a cell phone alarm is best</p>
<p>i bought this really loud alarm clock by "equity" i think from best buy and it works great for me. i'm a deep sleeper and have slept through typical alarm clocks. as lefisthominind said, cell phone alarms also work great...i dont know why. might be the non-metranome (sp?) sound</p>
<p>glcerine: i suggest you either contacct your roomates about this in advance to see what they think...if not, maybe train yourself really hard to listen for the alarm in the morning and turn it off immediately...^^the equity thing sounds good too</p>
<p>any reviews for "best alarm clock" out there? </p>
<p>Was going to order my son an ihome but the reviews (even on the Apple store site) look pretty shaky. Is there a compact alarm clock/ipod sound dock out there with great sound? Expensive is okay; willing to pay for quality/reliability.</p>
<p>my roommate has an ihome and it woke me up.... its can get pretty loud.</p>
<p>u can get one of those alarm clocks that when it rings, it runs away so u cant press the snooze button. lol</p>
<p>but i use my phone alarm clock bc u can change the ringtone when u start to become immune to it and it vibrates. i put it in the pillow case of my second pillow =p</p>
