Alarm Clock without Noise? To wake up in common sleeping rooms and airports without noise?

Question

When I am sleeping in certain locations, for example waiting for a vehicle in a sleeping room or airports, I want to make no noise to wake up to my alarm bell. There is a dilemma because the alarm bell makes some 100DB and it pretty much gets everyone angry every-now-and-then. How do you schedule your waking times in such positions as silently as possible?

I have tried an audio player in my ears but I tend to drop the ear parts while sleeping. I have also wondered about electric shock alarm clock but not sure whether something as silent may work.

Answer 1

Hire someone to come slap you at the designated wake-up time.

Answer 2

I have a crappy old mobile phone that doesn't even work as a phone but it's handy as an addressbook and of course an alarm clock. And like most phones for years no matter how cheap and crappy it has a silent vibration setting.

Don't you have a phone? Doesn't it have a silent vibrating alarm?

Answer 3

There are wristwatches with vibration alarm, these might work for you.

Answer 4

Old Soviet-made alarm clock:

I removed some parts, so it can't ring, but it have vibro :)
It really helps to wake up quickly.
I place it on my back, under my clothes, and there is no way to miss its signal.

Other variant - use the cell-phone with good vibro-signal same way.
It is noiseless and quick way to wake up.

Answer 5

I own a "sonic bomb" alarm clock. In addition to a loud siren, it is also equipped with a vibration motor that goes under the bed. You can use one or both at a time.

Answer 6

Put your phone in vibrate mode and put the inside your pocket (preferably tight jeans).
