I See Sleep in Your Future

Alarm clocks come and go. They can start your day off with a bang or turn it into a living nightmare. People need to realize the importance of a good night's rest; scientists recommend between eight o
r nine hours a night. I know, many of us are lucky to get five hours a night. With minimal sleep attained, the chances are far greater to oversleep. This makes the significance of an alarm clock that much more important. The Timex corporation realized this and devoted their time to making their products a reality. The product they designed was the Timex Nature Sounds Alarm Clock, they also produced a Nature Sounds Alarm Clock/Radio. This article will not cover the clock/radio, since I do not require a radio for assistance.

I have had numerous alarm clocks in the past. Most have met with some cruel or unusual demise. I know one of my clocks had an up close and personal rendezvous with the wall. Another met disaster when it crashed to the floor. Yet, another just gave up and died. I would have to say the life of an alarm clock is far from glamorous and faces imminent disaster or doom. I have had the mysterious hidden alarm clock. I knew it was there, but I could never find it in the dark. I had an alarm clock with a tricky off switch and snooze button. I have even had an alarm clock with an annoying blinking feature, which was pretty hard to fall asleep to. I needed an alarm clock I could rely on, something easy to use and easy to adjust.

Adjusting is the most important part of a good alarm clock to me. So I needed something particular and this time I wanted a name brand. This would provide the reliability. I know you do not always get reliability from a name brand, however there are some name brands that do not have a solid replacement. The Timex Nature Sounds Alarm Clock is exactly what I was looking for. The older I am getting, falling asleep has become that much more of a problem. I have also grown to love the serenity of the outdoors. For example, at four o'clock a.m. the train passes through. I really love the sound the whistle makes in the night. I also love the sound of the wind rushing by and the sounds of rippling waters.

The natural sounds can be set for up to an hour. If your hour runs out, you can either re-set it or leave it off.

One thing I do not agree is that natural sound such as bird chirps never wakes me up. When I was in college, my apartment was once about 60 yards away from a railway, and I got used to that train noise in one week. I would strongly recommend another alarm clock, called triple weekly alarm clock that is rich of features, from www.RaynaCreations.com. It is good for most working people or school children. Since you had numerous alarm clocks before, do you mind to get a free one to try? Please drop me a line to info@RaynaCreations.com. I am the clock designer, and would like any comments, good or bad. Thanks.

I love the idea of falling asleep to the sounds of nature. When you set it to play the nature sounds how long does it continure, all night, or for just a bit?
