Wake Up!
Monday, 03.10.08 @ 12:01AM 
Yesterday, you may have told yourself that Daylight Saving Time is no big deal, but that was Sunday. Today is the day you have to drag yourself out of bed before daylight, an hour earlier biologically than you are used to. It ain’t easy, is it? I am normally a morning person -always have been. Being at work at 5AM was never a problem, until I had children to supervise. Even now, I try to get as much work done as I can before they wake up. The real work starts when they need to get up. By 7AM, the public school kids are already waiting for the bus (half an hour ride, get to school on time to eat breakfast before class starts 15 minutes earlier than parochial school). My kids will sleep through any alarm clock and any yelling on my part. I have to drag them from slumber, drag them out of bed, drag them into their clothing, and drag them to the car to get to school by eight. All this after they are in bed every night at nine!

SleepFM, the social alarm clock. This brings social networking into the bedroom, so to speak, as messages from your friends and family can wake you up! See a video of SleepFM in action.

SLEEPING PILLS
(via It Occurred to Me)
Bob was having trouble getting to sleep at night. He went to see his doctor, who prescribed some extra strong, sleeping pills. Sunday night Bob took the pills, slept well and was awake before he heard the alarm.
He took his time getting to the office, strolled in and said to the boss. "I didn't have a bit of trouble getting up this morning."
"That's fine," roared the boss, "but where were you Monday & Tuesday?"
TALKING CLOCK
(Thanks, Rich!)
A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night. He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.
"What's that big brass gong?" one of the guests asked.
"It's not a gong. It's a talking clock," the drunk replied.
"A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend.
"Yup," replied the drunk.
"How' s it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it.
"Watch," the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave the gong an ear-shattering pound, and stepped back The three stood looking at one another for a moment.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "You asshole, it's three-fifteen in the morning!"

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME IS THE PITS!!! Why can't the government LEAVE us ALONE??? ARGH! I totally HATED waking up this morning.
Checked out SleepFM the thing actually wakes you announcing the day and date then plays what seems like voice-mail. I saw it on their blog.
I just wake up hearing a noise and shut off clock, would be nice to hear a noise that reminds of something important!
