Alarm clock

Is there such an alarm clock that I can set weekdays only that I don't have to set every night? I want a great alarm clock The one I use now stinks.

Thanks

Hah, I wonder if there's a computer program out there that'll do it? I bet there is. Try google.

Just get an alarm clock with Dual Alarm settings. I've got a GE that fits the bill great, and cheap too. 2 alarm settings, one for the weekend, one for the weekday, and I can wake up to alarm or radio on each setting. Matter of a fact, both myself and the wife have the same ones ( she uses the other alarm setting to wake her up when she turns off the first one )

i use task manager to play a playlist as my alarm clock. i am sure you could record an annoying beeping noise and tell it to play that instead. task manager rulez!!!

to be more exact, task manager lets you specify what days of the week, and you can create a job that will go at 9 one day 10 2 other days and not go on the weekends or whatever, task manager is completely customizable, you could even create multiple jobs to do it, but there are custom settings to only have one job do all those different times. dont be afraid to ask me if you have any questions

Used to use an alarm clock that was so loud I would wake up (I mean fully) before it went off!

The neighbors could hear it, and actually thought it was an alarm!

Course it was otherwise a hunk of junk, but still...

Personally I would test any such "super" clock at the store for the tone and pitch (and volume) of the alarm. The last several we've had have only been so so.

Typo king strikes again!

(Anyone know of an AUTOMATIC spell checker?)

My alarm clock wakes me each morning. She lies beside me in the bed and thumps me when the alarm goes off.

Seriously. I can't hear an alarm clock unless it's so loud it rattles my bed. Without my hearing aids, that is. And I don't sleep with them in.

I have to get up earlier than the wife, so it works fine. Then she rolls over and goes back to sleep until the second alarm goes off for her.

Cheers
Mick

I use my tv. It has two alarms. You can set them to go off on just the weekends, during the week or all 7 days of the week. A quick set of the channel you wish to wake up to and your set to go. I sleep through almost anything. With this it has sound but also lights up the room and the lighting always changes as the content on the screen changes.
