Wake me up before you go go

If you are like me, the morning isn't one of my best friends. We usually start the day off with a game of who can be more persistent. I play on the side of persisting to stay in bed; and my alarm, persisting to make noise. I think I have a slight advantage so to even it out a little I set four different alarm times. Two alarm times on my SmartSet Dual Alarm clock and two on my cell phone.
I have my the obnoxious ringers set on my cell phone and on my alarm clock I have the radio and the standard beep, beep, beep. I have the beep, beep, beep one set to go off first and lately my SmartSet Dual Alarm clock has been playing dirty, it's been entering my dreams.
It's like Freddy Kruger, it has found a way to get me where I am most vulnerable, in my sleep. It's most recent intrusion was this morning. For some reason I was dreaming about grilling on a George Foreman Grill for a large amount of people when in the middle of a perfect grilling experience, beep, beep, beep. I say to the devourers of my grilled foods, this has never happened before, I don't know what is wrong. So I attempt to find and fix the problem and after was seems like ages, I come to the enlightening conclusion, and tell my guests "don't worry it is just my alarm clock." Then BAM! I'm awake. My SmartSet Dual Alarm clock is getting crafty, a little too crafty.

I use to set 2 different alarms spread out in my room. I'd set a third and maybe a 4th if it was really important. Oddly Arpee doesn't like loud alarms because they scare her. So now I have to set an alarm that would NEVER wake me up and hope that Arpee wakes me up.
Weirdly enough this works most of the time.

I totally set four alarms every morning too!!! I heard about alarm clocks that jump up and tumble around the room once they are set to go off. And the only way to turn them off is to catch them. Or puzzle alarms that won't go off till you complete the simple, puzzle. The one I think I'd like it the pillow alarm, it slowly, like 15 min. before your alarm is supposed to go off, begins lighting up like a sunrise and gently wakes you. Waking up and I are enemies too. I fully understand.
