Yes, brainstorm! Lol Or, you could use the handicap settings and have the Camara flash go off at the same time as the more gentle sounding alarm goes off and see if that works. I sleep with a sound machine, and several years ago when I worked early mornings there was a time or two where I didn't hear my alarm, and so I changed my settings on my phone to have the flash go off with the alarm, and that always woke me up!

Oh God no, the flash would just set me right off.

But I will definitely do some brain storming over it.

99% of the time I wake up before the alarm goes off. But being highly sensitive, I startle and scare pretty easy, and so I learned choose alarms that aren't going to be so jarring because i hate waking up like tbat, lol - it's way too intense for my nervous system.

The one that I have been using for a long time now are chirping birds, and what's cool about it is that it gradually increases in sound as the alarm progresses. Although, it rarely makes it to that point unless I forget to turn it off, which I typically always do as soon as I wake up lol.

Yes! I’m also sensitive and startle easily. I’m not sure I would wake up to a subtle sounding alarm though.

Maybe I need to buy an alarm to put in my kiddos area, I would still hear it but just not so close to me. Hmmmm
