Well, damn.

Okay....well, I'll run all my errands tomorrow. I slept nine and a half hours, and probably would have slept longer if I hadn't noticed the clock during a quick trip to the restroom.

I need a Really Fucking Loud alarm clock I won't sleep through.

What I did in the USAF was to have multiple battery operated alarm clocks, preferably with different arrangements of beeping, that would beep for half an hour or so if necessary.

It was not at all rare to stir, still mostly asleep, to a see of interference patterns between waves of beeping. My long term solution was to get a lot more sleep than I had been, although that doesn't really apply in your case, unfortunately

Steve somehow "installed" a headphone jack in his alarm clock and plugged in a set of headphones. He wears the 'phones over his C-PAP breathing mask, sets his alarm for full volume, and goes to sleep.

At the appointed time, the Deafening Alarm From Hell goes off, waking him just long enough to hit the snooze. Nine minutes later, the thing goes off again and he gets up as if nothing had happened and starts his day.

What if you wired up an alarm clock with a headphone jack and went to bed wearing headphones connected to the alarm?

As an alternative, Dave has four alarms: three are alarm clocks that go off three minutes apart, and the fourth is an old-style windup ticker with the big bells on top that goes off after the others have gone through a round of futile beeping. The clock astonishes his cat when it goes off and causes it to hiss and attack, thereby causing such a ruckus that Dave wakes up and starts his day.

Maybe you need a psychotic kitten :)

I tried that once...I move around too much in my sleep...nearly choked myself.

Was very nice music, though. :D
