That "sleep" button is probably a mislabeled "snooze" button, RO.
Alarm goes off but you're not ready to greet the day, hit the snooze button to catch a few more winks. When the snooze timer expires, the alarm goes off again.
There is a new kind of alarm clock out there that is like the first commercially available Droid. If you hit the snooze bar once, it moves from its spot. If you hit the snooze bar on it twice, it then runs away and hides before the alarm goes off in earnest. Forcing you to get up and find it.:haha:

That's what I thought at first but look at the picture, there's already a snooze button on the top left.

My guess is that it's a button that turns on the radio for a predetermined amount of time after which it turns off automatically. So you can turn it on and fall asleep listening to it (if that's your thing) and then it will shut itself off and not keep playing all night.

I saw something online the other day about an alarm clock with some kind of built-in camera and facial recognition software. Supposedly it won't shut off until you smile at it. Still not sure if it was a joke or not. :O:

Oh yeah. I forgot about those. My alarm clocks aren't that sophisticated. But it does correct itself after a power outage using the Atomic Clock signal. The batteries only hold the alarm settings.



The droid clock is called Clocky and you can see it at the link... nandahome.com

I'm not sure. I don't listen to the radio at night anyway. The local radio stations suck after 2200.

My alarm clock? Sophisticated?

:rotfl2:

You funny man... This thing is nowhere near sophisticated.

Runs well without electricity.

Been away from the board a couple of days, but had to resond to this post...

This brought to mind the TV show "Taxi" and the character Latka's take on what you need for a good life:

<O>

I need some work I think.

Yes that is what it does.:yep: Usually plays for 30 minutes to 1 hour if I remember right. I tried it out once a long time ago when they first came out with that function.

:subsim:

Mine has the same function with variable play times and the option of different sounds instead of radio. Something that sounds like a rippling stream full of croaking frogs (which I would like if it weren't for the frogs), something that sounds like ocean surf with gulls cawing (which I would like if it weren't for the gulls), and something that I think is supposed to be a rainstorm but just sounds like static or generic white noise to me. Since it doesn't include frogs or birds that's the one I usually use if I need to drown something out when I'm trying to sleep. But it's rare that I use that function at all.

All I need is this chair.
And this ash tray.
And this paddle ball game.:haha:

It wakes the dead too.:03:

I think that's the idea. Of course you could have a modern clock with an MP3 player that plays 2WO screaming "ALAAAAAARRRRRMMMMM!!!!"

Love is a funny thing. It's very hard to find without a J O B.:hmmm:
Be patient kiddo. It will show up when you least expect it.:up: Then you'll soon realize how advantageous being single was.:rock:

That was my alarm for a while on my phone. I used it every Sunday to get up for church.

Love ain't the only thing on that list that's got an issue. :up:

It will be alright. You'll find the one.:yep: " Hello Betty!"
Then you'll chase her until she catches you.:huh: " Wait a second!"
Then it's all over with but the shouting.:haha: " C'mon laugh with me."
