Do you use one, ...or wake naturally?

Hello Gwyn:) Both again. I do set the alarm but usually wake up before it goes off:)

I use my mobile as an alarm clock. There are three alarm settings that go off at fifteen minute intervals. The alarm sound is the crazy frog

I used to have a natural alarm clock.........my youngest daughter.......

But since she's started school ........my mobile wakes me now xx

I wake up naturally,just before my lovely half has got up and got ready for work...........tis lovely having a lovely man to wake up with:)

I just wind my mutt up ...if its daylight then thats time to wake up. Winter she waits for the 1st dog to be walked ( 7am ) Anything earlier than 7 I set an alarm

I've got a radio alarm clock that wakes me up to Radio 4.
I'm usually half awake when it goes off - then I start arguing with it and am soon fully awake!!!

Whirley I agree its good to wake up to a lovely man ...makes me smile that mine don't need to get up till late he works evenings, but always gets up before me to make me coffee.

i hate Alarm Clocks and never use one

For work I use the alarm on my phone
But when off work my silly body clock always wakes me up early,it wont let me have a lie in

i use my mobile alarm if i have an appointment
but im usually up early with the lovely baby satan asking for brekkie lol

i use the best one the wife

I have an electric radio alarm a battery alram clock and the mobile all to get me up...but then I do get up at 3.30am so need the help

Some interesting replies.

I only remember using an alarm clock about twice in my life, ...to catch early planes.
We haven't used one in years, even when OH worked in London and we got up about 5am.

At present, rather like Alice, we have a natural alarm clock.
The seagulls wake as soon as it's light, and sometimes before that.
They're so noisy!

Used a radio alarm when I worked but, unless catching an early flight I never use one nowadays. OH sometimes sets his when he is playing golf but he usually turns it off before it goes off.

I'm up at 4.30 every morning and although I usually wake up I get worried that I will over sleep.

If I am late arriving to get my peeps out of bed they start thinking that something has happened to me, so I use my mobile alarm and I also have a clock radio just in case.

What bliss to be 'in charge' of time instead of being governed by it.

Why do they insist on bringing in presents for us?
I've recently returned from looking after my sister's 4 cats and within 15 minutes of me arriving there, I was shooing out a cat who was playing 'catch' with a still alive mouse.
Animals certainly do their best to get us up when THEY want to, ..Lol

I know just what you mean about them worrying.
My late Mum used to fret that her carer had had an accident.
Getting up early at this time of year is great, ...a sort of bonus part to the day.
I'm not quite so keen in winter !
