What are some mischievous alternatives to the standard wake up alarm?

My grandfather would play Reville on his horn on Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and the first day of school every year.

Blowing into a Viking horn right in the bedroom; bwoooooaaaaaa!! Up and away! No sheep for the lazy wolf!

Oh, my brother was a heavy sleeper. On more than one occasion I woke him for school by flipping his mattress over – with him still on it.

Wonder which one of you reach 30k first, may I suggest a naked party for both?
I really don’t mind :)

She’s kicking my butt lately. We were in a dead heat about a month ago.

Haha yeah, three or four times I noticed Seek and I had the exact same score. Kinda flew over a little. But Seek hasn’t been active for a while, so I just win by default.
Also I don’t want a party, seriously.

Yeah, they’re pretty cheesy, but we’ll have to mark the occasion somehow…

We can think of another contest to have. :D

Yeah, a 30 day challenge of some sort, I’m all over it like a bad suit :)

I used to hold a match to the fire detector in the middle of the night every April Fool’s Day when I was a child. My dad would hotfoot it out of the house in his undies every time. Now that I’m older I wonder if he was that gullible or if he was appeasing me. I hope it was the latter, because from my hiding spot I never saw him go check on me…

I used to have one of those grass covered wine bottles that you burn candles in, and the wax drips down on the weave. My Mom got really angry once because I was always so hard to wake up. I woke up to the sound of her screaming, that wine bottle in her hand, by the neck, cocked to throw at me from across the room. I was legally blind without my glasses so I couldn’t see clearly. I just had impressions. It scared the hell out of me.

That is fucking hilarious.

And it makes me want to buy some Chianti.

Yeah and then she left the house, got in the car and TORE out of the garage and ripped the garage door runner, and the side of the car, to bits. So then my dad was down there yelling at me! I’m screaming “I DON’T KNOW! I DON’T KNOW!!”

Wakey Wakey Tickles!

Oh God. If someone tried to tickle me awake I would punch them in the face! And I’m not even joking. It would just be in instant reaction. Best to be somewhere far away when I first wake up. My kids knew not to bother me if I was napping. If they really needed me, they’d put my cell phone on the pillow by my bed and go to the neighbor’s house and call me!

My alarm clock is my cat Sy. He wakes me up like, well, like clockwork every morning at 5:45 so he can get his breakfast.

@Pachy Mine does the same…..despite the fact that his food is on an automatic feeder – _ -.

They have alarms that play natural sounds like rain or wind through the trees, that sort of thing.

There is an alarm clock that has a light and the light gradually gets brighter and brighter to wake you up.

I also heard if an alarm clock that releases smells, like fresh cut grass or even bacon.

I used to wake up in the room I rented to the daughter of my housemates practicing her harp across the hall.

For me it would just take a sweet sexy voice saying,
“roll over baby, I need some more.”
I’d be up in a hot flash.

Put one of these Scat Mats under the bottom sheet and set a timer to turn on when it is time to wake up. You will not stay in bed.

What ever it is, I’d most likely murder it.
