I've been married for over 13 years and the entire time I've been with my wife, she has had the same alarm clock. (I have too.) Every morning the thing goes off and causes her to rapidly shut it off. She is a light sleeper. For Christmas I'd like to get her a new alarm clock that makes a more gentle noise. Instead of waking up to a fire alarm every morning, is there something different? Any suggestions are welcome!

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

I've got a clock like that as well, it's a Philips. It has a "Gentle Wake" feature, which means you can set the alarm to start at no or low volume and continually increase to a max volume that you set. I hate "fire alarm" clocks, so I love this feature.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

Re: Alarm Clocks
I like the rooster idea! I guess for now I'll settle with getting her an alarm clock with a CD player so that she can at least wake up to gentle music. I'm not sure if the "dawn simulator" would work for her but that is a cool concept and I thank Cameron for posting the links. During my search I found another that puts a vibrator under your mattress and it will buzz the bed in the morning. That's cool but again, I'm not too sure if she'd go with that. So a CD player it is with some songs that will start out slow and then jump to heavy metal, get your butt outta bed, hard rock.
Thanks everyone for the input! I love this place!
