Hi -

```
    I'm looking into the purchase of a non-audial alarm clock, due to my receiving complaints that other people in my house have been awoken by my alarm clock. I've been specifically researching a vibrating alamr clock, and found one for $25 inc. s/h at the following url: http://users.tm.net/topserve/alarm.htm
    Does anyone have experience with any sort of non-audial alarm clock(i.e., vibrational, light-alarm, etc.) who can provide information on availability, cost, and efficacy of different brands/types of clocks?
      Thanks.

```

I bought one when I was in college, so that I wouldn’t wake up my roommates on my 8am class days. Mine is the “Little Quake” … worked well, and it makes an acceptable shoulder massager during hell weeks too. I certainly never slept through it!
