I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house.

Is there anything else?

    If the watch vibrating is too much, I fail to see how this has any chance.

      They could try different alarm tones too. If I go with something harsh and irritating I wake up angry about it, if I co with something that brings me around gently I’m as happy as any man getting up at 4:15am.

      Perhaps the vibrating option is not a good option, but a low volume alarm could sound loud enough for the person on the pillow, and substantial quieter for someone only a short distance away.

      It’s like an alarm playing through headphones only without having to wear uncomfortable headphones while you are trying to sleep.
