Another question for my flist

[innerslytherin]

Since you guys all had amazing ideas and encouragement for me on yesterday's query, here's another one for you all.

I don't wake up well. I'm a heavy sleeper once I do sleep, especially now that I have a prescription to help me get to sleep. And I'm not a morning person at all. So I was thinking about trying one of those sleep tracking wristbands at night, that set off an alarm when you're at your lightest, but those get mixed reviews on Amazon. Then I started thinking about a dawn simulating alarm clock. I don't really want to spend $300 on it, but around $100-150 would be okay. But I can't seem to find one that people agree on there, either.

Do any of you have any experience with dawn simulating alarm clocks? Any suggestions?

Yes, I am the complete opposite of a morning person. I often sleep through the four alarms without even realizing a single one has gone off. :/

Oh wow! I hope you don't have to get up too early then each morning?

Btw if you plan on getting an alarm system like this. I would def. suggest you ask for a 'test' in the shop. You know, that they show you how bright the light can go, and how loud the sound can go (which starts if you do not wake up from the light). To make sure that it is something you can wake up from (if you sleep through that many alarms I think it is def. worth seeing for yourself first. I figure there will be a difference in there between different ones. )

Sadly, I couldn't find any shops that had them in stock in my area. :( Especially because of my morning problems, I usually like to test any alarm I buy, and especially these, that are a bit pricey (though entirely worth it to me if they work!). But I ended up ordering one finally, and hopefully if it doesn't work, I can at least recoup the cost selling it on eBay or something.
