Alarm Clock
Catflower:
What kind of an alarm clock works? If I'm laying on my hearing ear I can't hear the one I have. I know when you get into speciality adaptive devices things get very expensive so I though someone here probably had found a pretty simple solution.

For this past Christmas, my husband gave me a Sonic Alert bed shaker alarm clock (model SBD375ss). When I'm sleeping on my good ear, I didn't hear my baby (at the time he was 4 months old) crying in the basinette right next to me, but this alarm wakes me up every time! It has a small disk that goes under the sheet (under your pillow) and vibrates when the alarm goes off. It also has a traditional beeping alarm mode. Hubby reports that the bed shaking does not disturb him, but he is a sound sleeper and I don't let the thing go for 10 mins. It has all the other usual alarm clock features (dual alarms, snooze, etc.).
See http://www.sonicalert.com/ for more info. The alarm I have retails for about $60, but there are some that are less expensive. I'm thinking of getting myself the travel version so I don't have to depend on hotel alarm clocks.

Katie: this couldn't have come at a better time !! This morning my alarm clock must have been going off for over 20 minutes, I never heard it until I rolled over !!!! Thanks for the info. Will look into this. I wonder if I'll feel the vibration with the pillow I use; I bought a 'temprpedic' pillow recently, my neck & head feel better with it - it's that heavy foam so I wonder if I'll feel the vibration.
Always good thoughts my friend, Nancy

Linda,
I have the same alarm clock as katie. It works well. I used to use the Shaker mode, now I can use the alarm mode, don't know why, but I can hear it now. I must not be sleeping totally on my right side.

Nancy -
It's not a mild vibration! ;-) I don't think it matters what kind of pillow you use...
