Choosing an Alarm Clock for Your Apartment in Gainesville

Many people rely on their alarm clock to help them get up in the morning. Whether you need your alarm to get you up for work, remind you of an appointment, or just ensure you don’t stay in bed all day, it’s important to choose an alarm clock that will help you stay on time.

There are alarms in all shapes and sizes but there are some common features that are important to consider when selecting the one that will work best for you, including:

• The alarm noise – While it’s tempting to choose an alarm that sounds pleasant, the more grating an alarm is, the more likely it is to be effective.
• Volume – Remember that your alarm is for you, not the neighbors at your apartment in Gainesville. Rather than buying a very loud alarm, try finding a place close to your bed where you can put a quieter one.
• Multiple timers – Many alarm clocks have several timers that can be set to go off at different times. This can be especially useful if multiple people are relying on the same alarm clock.
• Snooze button – It’s easy to abuse this feature, so be careful when choosing an alarm clock that includes it. If you do choose a clock with a snooze button, be sure to place it out of easy reach.
• Power – Having a reliable power source is essential for an alarm clock. Choosing one that plugs in but has a back-up battery is your best bet.

There are also many alarm clocks that are specially designed to force their owners to get out of bed. Some of these clocks have wheels and will attempt to run away, while others fling a piece across the room and won’t turn off until it’s been put back together. These can be especially useful if you find yourself turning off your alarm before you’re out of bed. It’s also a smart idea to switch between two different clocks every few months to make sure you don’t get used a particular alarm.
