▲ 148 ▼ What is a discreet way of waking myself? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by Squizzy@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world 151 comments fedilink hide all child comments I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house. Is there anything else?

When it vibrates under the pillow you're using, it can sound very loud permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 years ago I assume that OP isn't sleeping with the wrist wearing the watch underneath the pillow their wife has her head on. Pulling your arm from under a pillow someone is using seems very likely to disturb them and wake them. You're not doing that, OP, right? permalink fedilink source parent [–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) Idk, my husband can sneak out of bed, but his phone vibrating in the bed wakes me. Even if it's just a little zzt to indicate a text has come in. I guess it's one of the noises I'm "listening for"? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago* Well, I'm sure you're right. permalink fedilink source parent
