As someone who burned out a bed shaker on a SONIC BOOM alarm clock, this has no chance, sadly.

@AtConsumeristPanel_GitEmSteveD...: If my bed's shaking, it has nothing to do with getting up.

Well, on second thought, I guess it DOES have to do with getting me up.

I'd love to be woken up by Stephen. The "Sir" part I can do without. If someone can hack it and have him say "Goddess" I'd pay premium!

@Software_Goddess: I'm so embarrassed. Despite my self-proclaimed, wildly-progressive politics and strong pro-woman/minority/LGBT/etc. outlook, it had not registered on me that this clock is geared only for men. Aargh!

Perhaps they could hire Judi Dench to make an alternate version suitable for m'lady?

Somewhere back in time, my deep aversion to horrible, rank, screech-inducing alarm clocks grew so strong that, somehow, over the years, my body developed its own remarkably accurate internal clock with alarm. While I still will set a real alarm--just to play safe--I would estimate that 95-98% of the time I will naturally wake up (rested and pleasant) 5-10 minutes before the accursed alarm can go off.

My internal clock is good enough that, even when I wake in the middle of the night (bathroom, whatever) I know without looking at a clock what time it is within 5 minutes. Sadly, despite this marvelous, internal bio-chrono-mechanism, I still am typically late for all appointments--but I always know, without a watch, exactly how late I am.

Quaint, but ultimately, this pales in comparison to my computer blaring Good Morning Beautiful by Deftones at 80% volume. All that'll happen with this thing is that I'll have that voice incorporated into my dream.
