Maybe it's time to purchase this:

the worst would be when you accidentally hit the tuning dial and shifted the frequency and then you get static in the morning instead of the b94 morning show with john dave bubba and shelly

Hey that alarm clock was in every single household in the 80s and 90s. I'm pretty sure it came with the house. It's old faithful. But yeah, mind the static.

The only reason my wife stopped using hers was because the radio/antenna picks up more static than actual stations anymore.

I bought a projector alarm clock after having one at VRBO we stayed in. I don't use the alarm and don't know how to even set it, but I like how it projects the time on the ceiling so I don't have to flop around to see what time it is. I did strain my neck a few years ago doing that...

What's funny now is that I am such a poor/light sleeper, I don't need an alarm very often. My wife is up at 5 during the school year anyway. Ugh.

Yeah, no ****. I got startled and jumped to see what time it was (like I felt I was late for work) and it was pain for 2+ weeks. Couldn't check my blind spot driving, etc. Ugh.

I really like this feature, but we need more MagSafe mounts that rotate. Current options are crap.

My wife inherited a similar one from my parents when we cleaned out their house (still strange to say, all these months later). I think I might pick one of those up as well.

My oldest is 5 years, 3 weeks, and 4 days. I haven't needed an alarm clock in 5 years, 3 weeks, and 6 days (early labor).

I woke up every half hour from 4:45 to 6:15 yesterday morning because I was paranoid it wouldn't work (it did). I would prefer not to make that a habit because there was some weird **** going on with my brain last night (sleep deprivation maybe?) that I would rather not deal with on a regular basis.

I'm a light sleeper, and at this point, my body is just used to waking up between 5:30-6am. No need for an alarm here.

I think I had the Alarm Clock Xtreme app for years without a single issue. Then out of the blue it just...pooped the bed. I'd have 2 alarms each day to stop from using snooze. So like one for 6:45, then a separate alarm for 7:05, every workday. About once a week one of those would miss. I went in and reset everything, thinking maybe an update messed with the settings or something. Still happened.

I just switched to whatever 'Clock' is on the phone. Seems to be just fine.

On principle, I don’t think I could use an app that includes the word Xtreme in its name

Yes. In retrospect, yes.

Would you be shocked if I said I still use one that I got in 1989?
