I used to have the volume turned up as loud as it would go, but then I got a new alarm where the volume is crazy loud, so I'm at maybe 1/2 volume on this one. | DJ FrostyFreeze

| #6 Posted on 23.1.07 0942.31 Reposted on: 23.1.14 0944.00 | True story: I *had* it set for Sports Radio 950 KJR up until last night. Yesterday I slept right through my alarm so last night I was checking out the settings to make sure IJ hadn't turned down the radio or something like that. I ended up fumbling around with the knobs until I found the power button (it was dark and I was already in bed so I didn't want to get up), and I confirmed that the station was good and the volume was turned up. All is good.
This morning I was having the most real dream of being in Mexico, so much that I was startled when Mrs. JJD smacked me on the back to get me to wake up. It turned out I had changed the station the the Hispanic station by mistake and my dream was using it as the soundtrack. | whatever

| #11 Posted on 23.1.07 1317.03 Reposted on: 23.1.14 1317.53 | I started using the radio a few years ago. The buzzer going off is just too much of a shock to my system. Such a horrible way to wake up. The radio wakes me up a little gradually and I can lay in bed and listen to it while I get back to the land of the conscious. The buzzer damn near gives me a heart attack. | The Guinness.

Exactly!
In fact, the clock radio has to be on her side of the bed, as I have been known to walk and/or talk in my sleep. I would sometimes shut the alarm off in my sleep. Oops. | Merc
