Careful shopper:

 

Yes, that's what I do !

 

I have a wall clock, but find that's it's much easier to ask Alexa!

 

No need to turn on bedside lamp and find my distance eye glasses.

I charge my phone in the kitchen at night, but I always have a clock on my nightstands.

 

My owner's suite is on the 1st floor, but I've been sleeping upstairs. I have a clock radio alarm that's decades old that I keep on the nightstand downstairs, and I use it for my alarm when needed.

 

Living in a small town now, the only station that I get on it is a Spanish station, & I don't speak Spanish. But when I set the radio alarm, I can depend on that clock radio to wake me as it did for many years when I worked.

 

In the upstairs bedroom I have a small alarm clock, but I usually use the remote & turn on the TV to see the time.

None of our cable boxes have clocks. I have a Sony digital alarm AM/FM on the tall dresser in the bedroom, and a different digital clock in the TV room.

No alarm clock in our bedroom since I retired 10 years ago.

Echo Show on the nightstand and an old school retro style with batteries as a backup in the drawer.

Long ago I read to get rid of your clock it you have insomnia.  Checking the time wakes up your brain and makes you fret.  I keep my phone by the bed and it serves as my alarm.

 

I must be exactly lazy enough to not look.  Open eyes, see no daylight, roll over, ......

I have a "Sonic Alert" alarm clock.  Check it out at Amazon.

 

Large lighted numbers and loud alarm.  (vision and hearing issues)

Don't bother with cable in the bedroom, so I've had a large clock with 4 inch high luminous letters on a nearby table, directed at the bed.   

 

If I need an alarm, I set my phone to wake me up.

I had an Emerson alarm clock that was probably 35 years old....ugly as sin, but it always worked. ALWAYS.

 

When we remodeled our master suite a few years back, some how that clock went missing. I was so dang annoyed, as I know what box I put it in and it was not in the box when I unpacked.

 

I have always suspected my spouse hid it somewhere. At some point I will find it or at least find out where he moved it to.
