Having the right alarm clock can make all the difference between getting up on the right side of the bed and starting the day feeling grouchy and irritable. With alarm clocks, looks and functionality count, which sometimes makes it difficult to find just the right combination of aesthetics and utilitarianism. The whole process can be simplified, however, by keeping just a few points in mind.

Many alarm clocks have the ability to wake you up with either a buzzer or the radio. Most alarm clock buzzers are admittedly annoying, but that's essentially the point. The louder and more obnoxious the buzzer is, the more likely you are to hear it. If you have difficulty waking up in the morning, you might actually need an alarm clock with an irritating buzzer. However, if you don't require that much of a rude awakening, go with the radio � it's a more soothing wake-up alternative.

Take some time to consider whether you'd like a digital or analog alarm clock. Digital clocks are typically powered by electricity, which means you'll have to reprogram the clock and the alarm whenever there's a power outage. This can be especially troublesome if you're a heavy sleeper and the outage happens overnight. Having an analog alarm clock neatly sidesteps this problem, but it may need to wound regularly. Either way, it pays to be aware of any methods that keep your alarm clock working on a regular basis.

Also think about your new alarm clock's visibility. If you wear corrective lenses, your clock may be difficult to read at night. Alarm clocks with extra large, digitized displays may make it easier for you to see the time. An analog clock with an illuminated dial may give off a pleasant nighttime glow and make it easier to tell the time even in the middle of the night. However, if you sleep best in utter darkness, this may prove to be an unwelcome distraction.

Alarm clocks have been helping people get up on time for decades. With plenty of new technological innovations on the market, it's possible to find an alarm clock with all of the right bells and whistles.

There is a pin right next to the clock. It looks similar to a pin you would use to adjust or reset a Trip meter. Rotate the pin to the left (sometimes it is necessary to hold it for a second) to set hours. Am or Pm is not able to be set. Rotating to the right sets minutes.
