    What do you use to wake up? I’ve been using an app called Alarmy.. and I setup an hours worth of alarms with different sounds every 5-10 minutes.. might look into something that is easier to set, super loud, etc.

    I used to use a Screamin' Meanie. No way to sleep through that.

    Why do you need another app? Isn't the alarm app that comes with the phone good enough or are you just advertising?

    I’ve gone to that point in my life where I set an alarm for 6:00am and my body decides it wants to wake up at 5:30am.

    It’s a great time to be alive.:rolleyes:

    right ok, anywho, phone speakers don’t seem to be loud enough, and I feel like leaving it connected to truck Bluetooth isn’t guaranteed... I think that’s only worked a few times
     
    JC1971 Thanks this.

    I wish that was the case. Always end up with some delays that have me running recaps instead of 34s. Start at midnight why don’t you!

    I have a cousin that used to sleep through those. I once went to his camper to see if he was ok when his mom couldn’t get hold of him and heard that thing ringing a ways away from his camper. I walked in afraid he was dead or something, and he was just sleeping. After that he went in and found out he had sleep apnea and now uses one of those sleep machines. He said the headache he woke up with was awful after that thing ringing in his room for so long. I can’t see how you could sleep through one of those.

    I guess I'm lucky. I use the stock clock app on my phone, and I usually wake up just before it goes off.

    I'm the same as you. I think he needs an electric alarm clock or have one that shocks him made up.

    I wake up naturally at 330am it seems like. Slightly annoying. But back in the cattle hauling days when I'd lay my head on the steering wheel, I had a Screamin' Meanie. It'll wake the dead.
