A vibrating alarm clock is truly a life saver for many people who had to rely until now on the regular noisy alarm clocks to wake them up. However what makes it unique versus the traditional alarm clocks that we are all accustomed to?

First of all, having a regular alarm clock is a highly dependable gadget when you need to wake up in the morning to to get to your meeting or don't go late to work. If you are a person who needs to wake up in a timely manner, be it for school, work, army, college or even to not miss the flight the next morning, you can't simply rely on your internal clock, since we're not Jack Reacher in the famous Lee Child novels, the hero who never needs a watch or a clock, since he always knows the time every minute of the day. Sadly most of us are not like him, and we still need to rely on our trusted - yet annoyingly loud - alarm clocks.

However, the regular alarm clocks have this ugly habit of being really loud in the ears of people, including that of our spouses and kids at home, or room mates and that doesn't give us any brownie points with them. This is why recently manufacturers have started creating vibrating alarm clocks, to restore the peace and harmony in those almost shattered families, where the alarm clock was a major cause of daily fights.

So what are the real benefits and features of a vibrating alarm clock versus traditional alarm clocks?

First of all, if you are a regular early riser and your spouse is not, you can now use the vibrator clock to wake you up in silence without disturbing the peaceful sleep of your spouse. Also you might have a small child sleeping in the next room, and the traditional clock is loud enough to wake up the entire house, including that baby. This is when again the vibrating clock is coming to the rescue. Your toddler is able to now sleep without any noises coming from your room at the crack of dawn.

Also imagine being on campus and having a room mate to sleep with in the room. Just try to put yourself in their shoes. You're in the middle of that sweet dream when somebody suddenly hammers on your head, and you wake up just to realize it's the alarm clock of your neighbor. The first thing you do is throw your pillow at them. Trust me, I know from personal experience. Again, this is when the modern vibrating alarm clock comes to rescue and you'll be thankful you had it with you.

Also don't forget about your own self. When you're in the middle of a deep sleep, possibly even dream, waking up due to the loud shrills of the clock next to you won't put you in the best disposition possible. It might just entirely ruin your day. And especially if you have an important meeting to attend to or some business that requires your full attention and concentration, you have to be fully there and not with the mind all confused and angry due to the way you woke up in the morning. So having a gentle wake up call is only in your best interests.

Finally, these clocks are perfect for people with impaired hearing or if they have an ailment that caused them deafness, which means they can't hear the sound of the alarm. This is why an alarm of a physical nature that one can actually feel it will do the job quite well.

So if you're still wondering whether you should get a vibrating alarm clock or remain with your old regular one depends on a couple factors, and you should weigh them carefully as getting a new one for you might be just worth it for the peace and quiet in the family and in your life that it might give you.
