Late nights, loud roommates, fire alarms, early classes, and unpredictable routines make it easy to hit snooze and oversleep in college. If you struggled getting up in high school, you can expect to struggle in college. To help you put together a plan, I asked followers for their alarm clock suggestions.
The responses flooded in.
There are alarms that blast you, shake you, shock you (a little severe), and high-tech gadgets that sync with circadian rhythms.
Someone suggested Clocky, the rolling alarm clock. I was intrigued and tested Clocky out for you. The results — if you live in a single try it. If you want your roommate to move out, Clocky will do the trick.
Below is the list of alarm clocks (so far). I’ll keep updating it as suggestions come in. Let me know what I’m missing!
