I don't know why you're skeptical... it's plain as day. See the "certified" charts.

Can't argue with results like that!

Reminds me of this (which... yes... I've shared before. )

These are the kind of data one can take to the bank!

An alarm clock produces the same sound every time every time it rings, and recognition of that familiar sound helps with the waking process. The radio may have any sort of a sound when it goes on, and a sleeper might just incorporate the likely unfamiliar sound into a dream scenario and keep snoozing. I use an alarm clock for that reason.

Always had my radio alarm set to 'The Today Programme' on Radio 4. Get woken up by calm, quiet conversation.

Someone bought me a 'Bart Simpson' alarm clock so I set it up and set the alarm for work the next day. Turns out the alarm is Bart shouting something like 'Hey dude, it's time to wake up and get out of bed!'.

It woke me up but also nearly gave me a heart attack. It was like one level below an R Lee Ermey alarm clock, if such a thing exists. Since then it's been relegated to an ornament.

Some speakers look less like devices for entertainment and more for social control.

Might depend on the music, no? Some I know is more nervous-making than jangling alarm bells.

The best is waking up to Test Match Special with live ball-by-ball commentary from Melbourne.

Damn it: they keep trying to tell us that the door is ajar.
It is NOT a Jar. It is a damn door.

I'd be my luck that one of the cars these thumpin' bass heads car does that just as I'm making my passing maneuver to get away from him.
