Anybody try one of these? (http://www.now-zen.com/) I absolutely HATE the standard alarm clock he LL noise, and would like to be awakened by something a little more pleasant, but wondering if it would even wake somebody up, or just give them a dream that they were the Dalai Lama or something equally not woken-up-able.

intriguing idea, I hate waiting up to the horn I have now. My only concern is that I would have to stagger the alarm a little since it rings once then waits 3 minutes for another ring.

There are the other ones too, the zen alarm clocks (not the digital).

I'm going to create one that has a woman having sex. At first, it will be just low moans. By the time she orgasms, she'll be screaming, which should wake you up.

If not, at least you'll have pleasant dreams.

Dude, my neighbor has already complained about my girl, I don't need to add something like that into the mix.

Why not? He'll think you're a big pimp having a Menage-a-Trois-fest

I sleep right through them...

yeah the little "chime" is pleasant & if you're a light sleeper it would probably work...

Me, I usually need like 2 alarm clocks set at different times and in different locations just to remind me that I'm still in bed.

Morning person I'm not.


On another note I figure a real Zen Alarmclock would be one that doesn't wake you up in the mornings... well in that case this would work for me.

Yeah, I think it is a little cheasy too, the whole play on wakening and whatnot...

Tell your neighbor I'm sorry but I can't help it, they just do that sometimes..er, or is this when your home?

LOL...

dude, now you're really, really, freakin' me out. I guess that'd almost make sense if my girl either lived with me, or if we spent more time there than at her house, but, I guess that would explain why all the dogs in the neighborhood have been scared to walk by the door (I see why you wanted to go to vet school).


Oh, and to recap, Dude you're sick.

we (that's the royal "we") don't like to refer to it as "sick" so much as abnormally creative.

And thats why we (the real we, as in everyone else) think that you're sick.

Never used it much - the 'pleasant ring' wasn't as amusing as the morning radio show and the snooze bar. Now I just use the sun as an alarm clock. That works best for me, except for around daylight savings time.

Curses! Sounds lame! I didn't see the every three minute ding thing. That is not well thought out. Oh well! Anybody got one of those "Who let the dogs out"-only playing alarm clocks! Those rigiddy rock!

Actually, they should offer a Zen Alarm Gong for heavy sleepers. Like the one in the beginning of Jungle Boogie by the Commodores.

Or maybe the Zen Alarm Mime.

Mimes are already alarming . . . no?

i thought the zen alarm clock was just your circadian rythyms telling you that you no longer need to be sleeping?

in which case, you already have one.

now if someone can figure out a way to keep overly ambitious people asleep i think we can find balance in society. :D
