    Hi Sriniketan,

    I was like laughing to myself reading your post. This is same problem I face every other day. My DH sets an alarm in his cell phone for some weird hour :crazyand guess what, he forgets where he places his cell phone. bonk
    Sometime in the middle of the night or in a unholy early hour, the house resounds with the loud music from the alarm :spin
    Every time I go and totally remove the alarm setting, he surprises me by setting it back. He sets it with good intentions of waking up, but what the user of it if he cannot hear it and the entire house hold has to wake up to find it - Big Laugh LOL...
    Thank you for your post. Enjoyed it.

    Dear Big B,

    Your post is really alarming. Is sleeping this complicated with grown-ups? Hmmmm...

    DH was like your DD. Before he wakes up, alarm should go several times. I would wake up with a pin-drop and spending rest of my time trying to wake him up.

    But, nowadays he is up with the first sound of alarm itself. Good for me.

    Dear Sriniketan,
    I never experienced this alarming situation. I always used to set up my body alarm. As my children used to be awake till late in the night and finished their studies, they never used to set the alarm.
    As usual you keep the Ilites on their toes through your captions.
    Love,
    PS

    Rajalakshmi,
    It seems that you are snooze button for your hubby...Big Laughwaking him up every 5 min..
    Maybe that the reason for him to set the alarm in your cell phone and given you the job of 'snooze button' holder..

    Thanks true, Janani, in order to do things in order, we need the alarm .
    I like those who rely on their bio-clock to get up in the morning..

    Ojaantrik Sir (da),
    As you had mentioned it as a true story..I believe it..
    Poor alarm clock..it is doing its job, but why the guy got angry with it...he must be angry with himself, when he cannot get up at the set time..bonk
    One thing for sure, he cannot throw himself out of the window, Big Laughthat's why the clock found its way..happily..:)

    See swathi, that's what I was thinking about it..the alarm set is not serving its purpose..:)
    Maybe that's the purpose of the alarm..to get everybody on their toes and in turn wake up the intended person..Big Laugh
    Enjoyed yours too!

    Oviya,
    If you are a light-sleeper this is one of the complicated issues to be dealt before going to sleep...:biggrin2: not for me...I feel very sorry for my dh who has to cope up with this sound when he is in deep sleep..he is a light-sleeper, you know..
