I love this alarm clock . okay , first off , let I say that no , I be not deaf , but when I sleep , I sleep like the dead . a regular alarm will not wake I . with a regular alarm , I 'll get up , turn it off , go back to sleep , and have no memory whatsoever of even leave my bed . : o -rrb- this little peach of a clock ... there be no tuning it out ! I have it on the lower volume setting ... and let I tell you , my neighbor know what time I get up . that in combination with the bed shaker be fantastic . the bed shaker really wake I up the best , I think . it be not horribly irritating , but it be enough so that my body know `` hey , we have to actually wake up now ! '' overall , if you be hard to wake up , this be a great alarm clock for you ! not to mention , how cute be this little clock , be I right ?! this be hand down the best alarm clock I have have , and well worth the $ 36 I spend on it . it be be work great for month , I have not have a single problem ! I would definitely buy it again !
