    I am lucky, I usually work late morning or afternoons, so I don't have to worry about an alarm clock waking me up! I roll out of bed, and head to the gym!

    here is how i get out of bed by 430am:

    i set 1 alarm for 410am, then i take a caffeine tablet (water and pill right next to bed)

    by the time my 2nd alarm goes off 4:30, the caffeine has gotten into my system and i'm wide awake!

    i've been doing this for years and it works great for me! side note: the caffeine table is only caffeine and it's the same amount as in 1 cup of coffee. also, i don't drink any coffee or other caffeinated beverages so i know that i'm over doing the caffeine

    Im with Jamotto. Was super stoked to get this app and would even suck up the $1 for it but all the features you mentioned are not on it. Plus, it only has gotten 2 star reviews.

    Are we missing something? :(

    Strange....I looked it up in the app store on my phone, and it is a free app with 4 1/2 stars. So yeah, I would say you missed something.

    The only one I found for iPhone costs 99 cents, only does math problems, and apparently only has one alarm sound option. Has anyone found any others for iPhone? I was so excited! But the iPhone one doesn't sound anywhere near as cool :-(

    Thats all i can find aswell :sad:

    I use Alarm Clock Xtreme on my Android.
    Similar concept, but it only has math problems.
    Haven't been late to work since I've started using it.

    I'll give this app a try for a few days to see which one I prefer.

    Thanks OP!

    great idea :)

    I wanted to get in to taking the dogs for a run on a morning and find if I put my kit ready the night before, subconsiously I seem to know I'm running when I wake up and & off and out the door no problem, if I forget or I go to bed thinking I might just walk them tomorrow I struggle to get up.

    I really love my early morning runs, we normally only do a couple of miles but once I'm out I always wish I'd got up sooner. One day I'll get up at 5.30 and get in a decent effort before work.

    Good luck with the app :)

    Tried out the iphone one with the math problems but it didn't go off. It seems if you touch your phone at all after setting the alarm it "unsets"

    I go to bed pretty early so I can get up at 4:45 to work out. I feel so much better during the day after working out.

    Sounds interesting but I am sure either my wife or I would smash the phone before said task would be complete.

    ROFL - that would be me and my hubby too, I would probably just throw the phone across the room!!!! :laugh:

    Another good wake up app is Sleep Cycle. It monitors your sleep pattern and wakes when you are in the lightest sleep state.
