Death By An Alarm Clock

Every morning most of us wake up to our beloved alarm clocks. There are different types of wake up calls. Some may be your mother gently nudging you. Some may be your brother sticking your fingers in warm water. Some may be the soft radio playing either your favorite song (Hey Soul Sister) or most dreaded song (I can't be tamed). Some may be your alarm located in your brain that naturally wakes your body up. Some may be your cellular device playing your ringtone. And then last but not least...the dreaded....horrid high pitched fog horn alarm that makes you jump like no high jumper could ever jump. 

Whatever the sound of your alarm, when you hear that sound randomly in the day, it's like a death call. You feel that groggy gross feeling come back and you want to jump and turn it off and never hear that screeching horrid sound again! 

One day someone will be serenely sleeping, dreaming about unicorns and nargles when BOOM their alarm goes off, and they suffer a heart attack and no one is there to call 911 or give them CPR or grab an AED!!!!!!!! Oh no! 

My most recent alarm clock experiences: The doorbell rang and I woke up, looked at my clock and what time was it? 9:32 am. Oh "hum", I thought, "I don't have to do anything today" then BOOM! "OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO BE TO WORK BY 10AM AND I LIVE 25 MINUTES AWAY!!!!" I never seen myself get ready so fast. Most traumatizing morning all summer. 

Next, this morning. I got up at 8:15 and got ready for work. I walk downstairs an hour later and my mom asks "Why are you up so early?". I simply replied "Because I have work." Thinking it was almost 9:30am I peeked at the clock but what time was it really? 8:30am. Oh grand. Somehow my alarm got set an hour ahead. I could have slept in! Gah!!!
