I have a similar problem, but came up with a slightly different approach. I tend to snooze too much, so mine focuses on the snooze button.
You'd start with 1 big snooze button that snoozes for x minutes. After x minutes, alarm sounds again, but there are now two or three buttons. Maybe you have to hit them in a particular order. Maybe pick 2 that are the right color. Snoozes for another x minutes. Next, has a screen with 9 buttons (big enough to use with fingers). The buttons flash (maybe play a sound) in a pattern. You have to repeat the pattern to snooze again. Etc Have snooze time configurable. User enters comma-separated list. Last number in list is repeated. Ie "10,9,5" What do you think? -Steven On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 7:49 AM, Alexander Frøyseth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello again > I just have an idea for an nice addon or software (call it what you want) > to the alarmclock > Okey, let me tell a little story from real life. > Every day when I go to school, I have to wake up, and now I have 2 > alarmclocks, but still I manage to oversleep.
