Then the next day, I met the crankiest man in the universe, with his puffy eyes, LOL I wonder why ...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

Excellent!

last night, i had a dream that i was riding in the car with my bf. we were just talking to each other when i kept hearing this beeping sound. my bf asked 'what is that sound?'
i said that is just my alarm clock going off. oh crap i need to wake up!!. that is when i really did wake up. i hate when my dreams are being interfeared by the outside world.

Glad I am not the only one whose alarm clock occasionally doesn't go off, even when set correctly. I am mystified as to why that happens. Needless to say, my bosses weren't too thrilled when that happened, since I'd easily sleep an hour or so after I was supposed to be up.

When it's absolutely vital that I get up right away and I can't risk my alarm clock not going off, I set my cell phone alarm clock as well, for about five minutes after my normal wake-up time. That's saved me a couple times.

I have my alarm clock radio volume really, really loud as well. But I too have been known to hit snooze in my sleep. And sometimes the alarm goes off and I just incorporate whatever's going on on the radio in my dream! (Sometimes what I hear on the radio will be on a TV in my dreams, the other night I dreamed I was listening to the station on a Walkman while in Las Vegas and was amazed I could pick it up so clearly out there, since it is a Chicago station!

)

My dog has figured out how to turn my clock radio on and off. These days of unemployment, I set my alarm to coincide with the start of one of my favorite radio shows and usually lie there and listen til the first commercial break. As soon as the alarm goes off, Barney walks from wherever he is on the bed (or jumps on the bed if he wasn't there already) onto my pillow, crowds my head off and starts licking my face. If he really wants out right away, he'll stand up with his back paws on the bed and front paws on the nightstand, and hit the off button on the radio...then continue licking my face til I get up to let him out. (There is no snooze button on Barney!

) A couple times he's needed out earlier than my alarm's gone off, and when licking my face hasn't worked, he'll do the same thing and hit the ON button. You should see how pleased with himself he is when he does these things.

I have a crazy alarm clock story...

My boyfriend went to Vegas a few weeks ago for a friends stag. He set his alarm for 6am, thursday morning, to get up and get ready to go to the airport. Well I guess he didn't turn it off, because friday morning (my day off from school), I was rudely awakend by the alarm clock.

So I turn it off - or so I thought. Saturday morning at 6am the alarm goes off. So I turn it off - again, and turn down the volume too, just in case it didn't turn off properly.

I went to a wedding that saturday and didn't get home and to bed until about 3am - at 6am a load buzzing, screeching noise wakes me up - the alarm clock again... and I couldn't turn it off - so here I am moving the bed around at 6am (the outlet is behind the bed), and I was p'd off.

But now I can look back on it and laugh...

I have so many stupid alarm clock stories....

The best one was when I was living in the ASA house and my alarm went off...I sleep on the top bunk and then was my mini-fridge and then was my dresser with my TV on top and my alarm clock on top of that. If I leaned over the edge of the bed I could reach my alarm clock to hit snooze, but just barely. So ane morning, I was reaching over and lost my balance...I fell forward and grabbed onto the front bar of the bed, ended up doing a flip and landing on my butt...one of my sisters who heard the noise came to see what happened and I was laughing to hard to tell her...needless to say, I won the "You Quack Me Up" award that week....

Another one was...you know that dream that it's the first day of school and your alarm doesn't go off??? Happened to me Sr. Year of highschool...I made it by third period...

And one more...my freshman year, the drumline did NOT like my roommate, so they snuck in and set both our cell phone alarms, both computer alarms, my alarm clock (which had dual alarms) and her alarm clock to go off about every hour all night the night before we had to go to St. Louis for a big exhibition....

I have a couple of crazy alarm clock stories..

I few years back I had been out really late at the bars and then my friends house that by the time I got home I only had an hour to sleep before I had to get ready for work. I took a quick nap and then got ready. That night after I got home from work I decided to take another nap before I was going out again. My boss called at 8:00pm to see what I was doing and I thought it was 8am in the morning so I quickly hung up the phone and starting getting ready for work. It wasn't until she called me back and asked why I hung up that I realized it was 8pm. I told her it was a good thing that it was night because I was about to throw away my alarm clock.

The alarm clock that my husband and I currently have is a little on the quiet side for me. He hates it because it never wakes me up just him.

My brother thought it would be funny to get me a spongebob alarm clock for whatever holiday it was that i got a present. we set the time to go off at 4:00 because it was like 3:55 pm and we wanted to see the alarm clock work. It sings the spongebob themesong. I kinda forgot about it and that night... at 4 AM, I was startled by the captian singing "who lives in a pineapple under the sea???" since it was 4 am i didn't know what the hell i was doing. first i couldn't find the clock. then the off switch is really small so i couldn't find that until the song pretty much ended. this is why i can't wake up to LOUD noises. they freak me out. spongebob now sits on my dresser... silenced.

i am the lightest sleeper! i dont even need an alarm clock to wake me up, bc chances are i'll be up already! it sucks!! only one time have i slept "through" my alarm, and that was bc it was never set and i had gone to bed only three hours earlier. but i still ended up "waking" up randommly, bc thats how in-tune my dang conscience is to the time! i wish i could sleep like a normal person... sometimes i think i am always on the brink of conciousness when im sleeping, not actually asleep.

lol i just remembered this pig alarm clock that my best friends mom had gotten her for christmas- (she was obsessed with pigs) it was pretty big and it wore glasses with like these crazy demented eyes that would move- and when it went off- it would be like "OINK OINK OINK" a million times and the legs would move too.... well for some reason we had NO idea how to turn the freakin thing off- and we couldn't find the batteries inside of it- so finally after it going off at weird bizarre hours- we hid it in the linen closet under a whole bunch of towels- one night i was staying over and it was mad early in the morning- i was in the bathroom mnding my own business when out of no where i heard "OINK OINK OINK" and all this rustling in the closet- i freaked out! i totally forgot the thing even existed and i screamed at first- and then i realized what it was- everyone came rushing in and was like whats wrong/???? i was like uh yea your alarm clock scared me....

p.s. the thing finally died a few months ago....

My brother has that stupid alarm clock. It drives me nuts cause even if I'm downstairs sleeping the thing will still wake me up. Spong bob in the morning is just not my idea of a wake up call.

I often sleep through my alarm by either turning it off in my sleep or hitting snooze repeatedly for several hours. Last year I had an early final the next day, so I took my alarm clock, turned the volume all the way up, and put it across the room from my bed.

The next morning, the alarm went off like a foghorn, scaring the sh*t out of me so much that I fell out of bed in my hurry to turn it off. Not so bad, except I had a loft bed that was 8 feet in the air and that I landed on a bunch of stuff that was below my bed. By the end of the day I looked like someone had beat me up from all the bruises I had.
