Is waking up to an alarm clock's radio option, more abrupt/scarier than waking to the beep/buzzer sound?

Question

My girlfriend thinks so and she doesn't think thats weird at all.

Answer 1

Sounds to me like you're trying to win an arguement. I take her side.

Answer 2

The beep/buzz is worse, unless you have the volume turned up too high on the radio. My past few radio/alarm clocks though have had a feature that starts the alarm off at a low volume and gradually increases it, which isn't bad - it WILL wake you up, and gives you a minute to come up out of deep sleep. Still, I only use an alarm when I really have to get up at some unusual hour like to get up at 3 or 4 a.m. to catch a flight, I do that as a backup just in case - I usually wake up at the time I need to.

Answer 3

Not on my clock-radio. The music doesn't even wake me up half the time--no matter how loud I set it for. The buzzer, however, gets so loud that I literally jump out of bed in fright.

Answer 4

i exploit my digital watch. Yup i understand its great risky yet again then i did not had an alarm clock, so I had to apply my watch and this alarm could in reality ring for 15 seconds. i do not understand why I dare to take up this kind of massive threat before yet at the moment i eventually were given myself a real usual alarm clock to wake me up to boot to the watch. i wager im too used to the watch now

Answer 5

Depends on the music you've programmed it to. I'd rather wake up to soothing jazz music than a buzzer any day!

Answer 6

I don't think so. I use the radio function to wake up because after a while I think the beeping function gets monotonous

Answer 7

no the beeper/buzzer is deff more alarming and very annoyingg much more liekly to get you out of bed then lsiteing to music
