Math Alarm Clock + REALLY HARD calculus & graph questions = ultimate rage when waking up.
I have it on my phone, it doesn't let me silence it, snooze or dismiss until I've solved a preset number of questions and there's no way to shut it (well there is but for that, I'd have to open the taskpanel and kill it and that's even more hard work)
But now, I've gotten tired of exercising my brain in the morning so I solve only 1 simple arithmetic problem and go back to sleep

Waking me up is REALLY hard. Sometimes I even sleep though the whole course of the alarm....which is...till I wake up 2 hours later or something.

Which Sony Ericsson phone? My phone's an Android. There's an iPhone app too but I doubt it has the difficulty level I'm taking about
There's also shake alarm for which you have to shake your phone for like 2 to 5 minutes but I think that's pure waste of time really.
Edit: I might have exaggerated a bit, no calculus or graph questions but when waking up the hardest difficulty really makes you want to kill the alarm somehow.

Ah, same! It used to work.. but then you just become immune to it.. Sometimes I even get up, walk all the way across the room, turn it off.. and recall NONE of it later DX

'Kay this thread has been at the top of the 'Recent threads' for quite a while due to frequent posting, and the title is annoying the hell out of me.
It's advice. Not advises. Please change it or I'll get an aneurism.

I don't trust my hearing enough to attempt this. Every weekend I forget to turn off my daily morning alarm (10am ) and so my cell phone would scream for hours on the other side of my room before I notice what the damn sound is lol.
On the other hand, anyone else get habituated to the sound of the alarm and not be able to "hear" it after a few months and have to change the tone?
I even sometimes change it because I end up hating a particular tone (I blame the tone for making me get up )...although it does serve as a great motivator for not hitting snooze (since you would have to hear that damn sound again!).

It's aneur ysm not aneur ism. If you're going to be the spelling police, check if any words in your post are underlined in read before you hit submit. Also, you'll need one of these:
Welcome to the force, rookie!

1. Crush on a girl/guy (whichever way u swing) who has morning classes
2. Figure out where the buildings of those classes are
3. Wake up early so you can "coincidentally" walk by that building
4. Strike a conversation and lead into meeting up later after class
5. ????
6. Profit
...joking.

Aneurysm is the medically accepted norm, even your spell checker agrees with that. Aneurism is an older word which is being phased out. Furthermore spelt is not the past tense of spell. You mean spelled. You learned that one in grade school. But yea, I made a typo while correcting you. Typo =/= spelling mistake. I'm suspending you grammar police badge.
