A vibrating alarm clock for the deaf?

No idea if they actually work or not, but if you're serious about wanting an alternative....
I don't think 3 or 4 seconds is that long - could you find a normal alarm clock that starts quietly and gets louder, my old one used to do that.
Or one of the daylight ones that are supposed to mimic sunrise? Although I think they're quite expensive. Or a clock radio set to the radio with a low volume setting?

I had also thought to recommend the dawn simulators as they gradually light up before your wake up time, many users wake up just with the light so can switch of before any audible alarm sounds. Or else a nature sounds clock so you could wake to birdsong or the sound of water which may not be so disturbing to your neighbour.

Have you tried the radio? I use that as an alarm (I HATE alarm clock sounds!!), and you can set it very low? (not sure if it will wake you up though..). The dawn simulator is an alternative...

Can you use the alarm that is on your mobile, probably able to set the volume and tone used.

I know you use to be able to get alarm clocks that are just bright flashing lights, i presume they still make them.

I use the alarm feature on my phone and keep it under my pillow. Doesn't even wake OH up most of the time. I think you could just set it to vibrate too.

Just make sure you knock on at his next time the baby wakes you in the night, and remind him that you're up at 5.30 for work.

Put something over your alarm clock to muffle the sound - a tea cosy, a woollen hat, a soft cushion. Stand it on a cushion or other soft surface so that the sound does not transmit itself through whatever it stands on and then into the floor/walls of the house.

have the other half get up just before you and hold a sign up saying wake up


or you could move the alarm to the other side of the room.
