I think it is a great idea!  
if it works, I wouldnt think it would be enough of a vibration if it were just clipped to your pillow. if it does work it is a huge step up from waking up to some loud beeping  
good luck

If you sleep with a female, she may steal it from you. You will be able to tell though, since she will have a smile on her face while sleeping. 😉

I got my wife a light alarm clock. It has a 75? watt bulb in it that gradually goes from off to full bright in 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes (you set it). then a alarm sounds. It is the best way I have found ot wake up. But if you have to get up a a different time then your wife - well it’s really only good for getting you both up @ the same time.
