BOMB is a good name..

I'm usually not one to do reviews but this certainly deserves a review!!! We've had this about 5 months now.. life changing! Hard sleeper? Hitting the snooze button a lot in the morning? Yeah..well, that’s me..it hasn’t always been… Heck, I used to be up by 5 AM every morning, ready to kick booty and take names. Well, not so much these days. Not sure if it's because I haven’t had a full night’s rest since 2012 (thanks Al’s) or because my diet & exercise have turned to crap-- nonetheless, Russians attacking the U.S. in broad daylight couldn’t wake me from a midday power nap if given the chance. Being business owner, WAHM, Wifey.. Surely you can see how that can be an issue. As fate would have it, Mr. Smo and I happened across this surreptitious alarm clock marketed towards those that sleep like a railroad tie instead of a normal human being should. Literally never heard of it. The ad promised to wake the heaviest of sleepers. I’m thinking, “they’ve obviously not met me, so..” What the heck, let’s give this thing a whirl. We buy it. It comes in 5-7 business days, yada yada. Of course I’m testing it out! I ain’t fixin’ to DIE trying to come out of my sleep (if it really works, that is!) Firstly it comes to you literally looking like a bomb wire to a hockey puck. Like, that probably should have been my first clue to walk away. Nope, I’m a glutton for punishment. Y’ALL- we were testing--- I repeat, TESTING this alarm, broad daylight… Not sleeping…Heck, we were expecting the thing to go off in a minute’s time. That alarm went off and y’all, If I’m lyin’ I’m dyin! I dang near fell out.. I nearly had a HEART ATTACK! This thing packs a whopping 113 decibels, (the same as a chainsaw, so you imagine one starting up as your alarm clock!) My ears probably bled lol..The vibration was jolting, but more on that later. Alright, now to the real test: So Night #1: Side note: Both Mr. Smo and I have a love affair with our snooze buttons. We usually set the alarms 1-2 hours ahead so we can snooze and “drift lightly back to consciousness in time” for the day. Night #1 we decide we’re gonna be some daredevils. Set that joker for the exact wakeup time. Let’s do it. We placed the “jolter-majig” under our mattress, in the middle, to make it fair for all parties. I wasn’t ready. He wasn’t ready. Also, might I add, tiny Smo, too, was also not ready. Now, let’s break this down. You’re sleeping. You’re dreaming. Then you get the “jolt”, and by “jolt”, I mean sit straight up in bed, bug eyed, scrambling for glasses, screaming across the king size bed, “HOLY !)@*# IS THAT AN EARTHQUAKE?!?” kind of jolt. The bed-shaker (that actually goes underneath your pillow, I do NOT recommend that) shakes so violently, you can hear and feel it on the other side of the house. So, yes, it literally shakes your lazy tail outta bed. Imagine a guy coming into your room each morning with a jack hammer, and that’s about it. Then, you get the “squall”... (is that a good word? I feel like that’s a good word.) Remember the aforementioned 113 decibels? Try going from sleeping soundly, to a chainsaw in your ear with no warning. Your heart rate will go from 60 to 130 in seconds, from the first jolt, really. Now, this God-given, Satan inspired gift also has one more trick… it has LIGHTS, as if the brutal awareness that you are no longer asleep, but may now have an anxiety attack instead, isn’t enough. I wouldn’t go as far as to say these red-flashing lights would cause a seizure, but it probably would be good to keep in mind if you have epilepsy. The only way I can describe these lights is, if you’ve ever seen flashing red lights on an ambulance, that’s about what it’s like. The only experience Mr. Smo says he can compare this alarm clock to is being jolted to consciousness each morning in basic training. Like drill sergeants, the shear volume of this alarm clock will make it impossible for one to ignore it. Really, I’m not even sure why they included a snooze button on this thing. If you have heart issues, do not get this. If you suffer from anxiety, do not get this. Epileptic much?-- probably not for you. This alarm is no joke. But it’s EFFECTIVE. I often find myself waking up before the alarm even goes off due to what I believe is almost fear. Imagine someone putting a jack hammer to your bed and the loudest alarm you can imagine going off. If you can sleep through this then you may want to go see a doctor to check and see if you’re still in the land of the living. Though, I’m certain no matter what state of decomposition one is in, it’d probably still wake the dead. As far as wiring issues, not working, etc... no problems so far.

Honestly this thing is a godsend...

This thing is like death himself as come to wake you from the depths of your slumber. The clock itself is pretty bad-a** looking on my nighstand alone, but it definitily makes its presence known in the morning when it is waking my VERY DEEP SLEEPING SELF up from a nice long nap. Honestly this thing is a godsend. It allows for me to have two different options for alarm times (I have mine set for days I work and days I don't), and the alarm can be customized based on tone and volume. One tone may work super well for me, while another might let me sleep 2 hours past the time I need to be at work, so that is a great benefit. The alarm also has a set of lights on the front that flash while going off to aid in the brutal awareness that you are no longer asleep (I wouldn't go as far as to say they are severe enough to cause a seizure, but it is good to keep in mind in case you or whomever you are purchasing it for has epilepsy). The snooze shuts off the alarm for 7 minute intervals *I believe* and the alarm will continue going off until you manually flip the switch on the side to turn the alarm off. The snooze button also functions as a light dimmer for the clock in the front in case it is too bright or too dim for your sleeping preferences. Finally, they've topped this thing off with a shaker that goes under the matress that uses vibration to try to wake you (like a small desparate child when he's hungry). The only cons to this God-given-satan-inspired gift is that the shaker is connected by a cord to the alarm, but this also gives the option of not using it if you don't need the child addition. Also, I placed my shaker under my mattress topper and on top of my actual mattress as I've found it it way more effective that way. Anyway, I would 100% recommend this to my fellow deep sleepers! Sleep on my friends!

Very loud, but may not work with every heavy sleeper.

I got this for my girlfriend who's an incredibly heavy sleeper. Today the alarm went off for 27 minutes before she got up. It's loud - uncomfortably loud... You can hear it from every room in the house. For me, I woke naturally about 3 minutes before it was set to go off so I could flee the area. We have not used the shaker yet, I wanted to see how just the alarm would do. Some tips for heavy sleepers. 1. Get enough sleep. This is my GF's problem and to a degree mine. 2. Get up at the same time every day. On days off you can get up, then go back to sleep for a nap after 20-30 minutes for more sleep. This helps your body adjust to waking up at the same time. 3. Don't abuse the snooze. I have the GF's phone alarm set for 15 minutes before the Sonic Bomb. You get one snooze and you better be getting up because the blast will go off halfway through the next snooze session. Obviously has failed thus far in my GF's case... 4. Drink water before going to bed. You'll have to pee in the morning. 5. Set the alarm away from your bed so you have to get up to turn it off. Even though it hasn't worked yet in my case it's still a nice alarm. I do like the adjustable tone and it's the loudest alarm I've heard. I think for most this will work. I'll let you know how the shaker works.

Sorry, neighbors, but at least I’m awake.

I have narcolepsy. For my entire life, I have been impossible to wake up in the mornings (or when there’s a fire alarm, or a tornado, or whatever). My superpower is turning off (multiple) alarms, getting up, getting ready for the day—all in my sleep, then I wake up 40 minutes later, realizing it was all a REM trap and now I’m late for work. Earlier this year, I began taking a certain medication twice a night to augment my daytime wakefulness meds. I have to wake up about 3.5h after the first dose to take the second. If I don’t, I might as well take nothing. After sleeping through other (multiple) alarms and timers, I found this one and figured it was worth a try (it is). I just use the vibrating disc part, not the alarm-alarm. I made the mistake of using the Sonic + the Boom instead of just the Boom once and I might still have hearing damage. The vibrating disc is between my mattress and box spring. (You can put it between mattress and headboard for more noise, if waking up to the sounds *and* sensations of a jackhammer is what you need.) The jolt gives me a panic attack and it might rattle my downstairs neighbor’s ceiling fan but by golly, I’m generally awake enough to take my meds and not just think I’m taking it. Ditto for the AM. This thing is a pain in the butt to set—I generally unplug it when I go out of town just to make sure it’s not going to create seismic activity in my absence—but I can sure tell the difference if I try to skate by with regular alarm clock and cell phone alarms. Early on I wished it had a radio but then realized nobody wants to wake up to Morning Edition at concert-level decibels. Basically, if you struggle with alarms not waking you up and you’re able to feel in any part of your body, this thing will work. It’s not pleasant, but it’s effective.

Absolutely ridiculous, but in the best way possible

This product is absolutely ridiculous, and exactly what I was looking for. I am a very deep sleeper, and a habitual (subconscious) snoozer. Occasionally, I will snooze several alarms without knowing it. I had grown quite nervous that, in due time, my deep-slumbering nature would lead to a missed call, meeting, or flight. I began researching alternatives to my iPhone alarm. I came across solutions like the Pavlok, which shocks you via a wrist-worn device. At $200, I didn't really want to splurge on the barbaric contraption. After doing some more research, reviews seemed to suggest that the Sonic Bomb alarm works very well. I received it tonight and tested it out. I am blown away by how loud this thing is, and how well the shaker works. I have a Casper memory foam mattress, and was concerned that the construction would deaden any shaking provided by the Sonic Bomb. But to my surprise, it transmits quite well through the mattress. I was only able to turn the volume up about 1/3 of the way. I can't imagine what it sounds like past that. Surely loud enough to set off car alarms within a 1/2 mile radius. Looking forward to using this alarm tomorrow morning. So far, very impressed and highly recommended!

Corpse-approved, but your neighbors might kill you

I basically sleep like a dead person, and I've tried EVERYTHING. I was tired (no pun intended) of sleeping through classes, work, and just about everything else, so I decided to give this one a try. I have slats under my mattress, so I had to put the bed shaker under my pillow instead - and I'm glad I did! The bed shaker feature works extremely well. If you're like me and you hit snooze while you're still sleeping without realizing it, YOU NEED THIS. The bed shaker will make you feel like you are falling off a mountain; it's very strong, and you may end up on the floor. Now on to the sound; this is the first alarm clock I have ever purchased that wakes me (and the rest of the neighborhood) up 100% of the time. I work full time on an ambulance, and honestly, I can't decide what's louder, my siren or this alarm clock! The very first time I used it, my neighbor came knocking on my door because it also woke him up. Sorry, Mr. D, but I'm keeping it.

Kaboom! I am up!

I purchased the Sonic Alert for my spouse who sleeps through anything. This crazy-loud, vibrating, red lights flashing clock is a true asset to get her up in the morning. She absolutely loves it, especially the under pillow vibrating shaker device. Holy moly, it shakes half the bed. Actually the first time we used it we had to laugh because the shaker was flying everywhere if not for the pillow to contain it. We had to fiddle with the volume and tone to make the alarm not sound like a car horn or fire alarm. I think the tone was the most important element of the clock that made the alarm go off at the perfect pitch for her. All the features don't have to be used at once because of the variety of combinations available.You can also set the length of the alarm’s ring from one to 60 minutes, and choose a snooze option from one to 30 minutes. Plus, the clock has dual alarms different wake-up times can be set. I am sure we will be purchasing another Sonic Alert in the future.

Avid over sleeper & chonic snooze button pusher... Well, NOT ANYMORE after purchasing the Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock!

I was written up at work coming in late too many times, and in fact I was told I would be terminated if it happened when we’re time. I purchased this alarm clock, because my problem was that I kept oversleeping by hitting the snooze button too many times. Most cheaper alarm clocks, and even ones on your phone or iPad/tablet will just shut off if you press snooze too many times. Plus you cannot adjust your snooze time on almost any and all alarm clocks. Also I would over sleep at least 1 to 2 times per week for the past couple of years. I can honestly say that I have had the Sonic Bomb alarm clock now for almost 2 months, and I have NOT OVER SLEPT once in 8 weeks!!! I am just so impressed with this alarm clock that I have told everyone I know about it. If this alarm clock worked for me it will work for literally ANY deep sleeper or chronic snooze button pusher!!!

I wake up... real quick!

I am the heaviest sleeper I know. In the past years, I have been late to work several times for sleeping through my alarm. I am a snoozer, but it got to the point that I wouldn't even wake up to hit the snooze! So, I got the Sonic Bomb on labor day weekend -- perfect time to test it, I thought. Let me also add that I can go back to sleep 99% of the time no matter how I'm awakened. The first thing I wanted to test was the bed shaker. I put it under my pillows, but didn't have much hope because I'm a psychopath who sleeps with more than 8 pillows. So, it's about two and a half pillows deep, ya'll. I set the alarm for 7. When 7 AM rolls into my apartment, I am rattled from my sleep by the intense vibrations of the bed shaker. I'm quite literally shook, okay? This thing feels like it's a little more than gently rattling my spine. But I'm awake. It's done the job! I turn off the alarm and go back to sleep. Because that's what I do (see above). It's the weekend. Now, I needed to see how the bed shaker worked in combination with the "loud alarm." So, I set the bed shaker and alarm to go off at 7AM again the next morning. It was like waking up in a war zone, guys! That alarm is WAY loud and I wonder if I also woke up my neighbors (forget about it). So, your spine/head is more than gently rattling while this siren BOOMS (you can adjust the pitch; mine is about half way) and you just know the Red Coats are coming. I am UP, AmazonDudes. I turn off the alarm, but there's no going back to sleep for me this time. War has changed me.

Nice for anybody control of tone makes waking more comfortable after all getting up to an alarm is NEVER appealing!!

Having only 5% hearing in my right ear is a big issue because I have to hope I am lying with left ear exposed when alarm clock goes off to hear it. This is with alarm clock only a foot from my pillow. This alarm clock solved that issue immediately!!!!!!!! I only have to turn volume up 1/4 of way to hear it with right ear so as stated "Bomb Loud" can be achieved easily. I didn't even need vibrator for bed, but that is an additional bonus because I see no way to miss the bed vibrating. When the vibrator goes off it is like a jack hammer under the mattress. The vibrator fits between the mattress and box spring so you don't have to fuss with it when changing sheets or blankets. The cord for the vibrator is 5 1/2 feet long. The controls for alarms and snooze are great size and easy to find and operate during the dark. Also love the option to set the snooze and alarm duration for any time I want. Another bonus is the ability to adjust the tone I liked the softer bass tone rather than the shrilling shriek that tends to be on all alarm clocks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR ANYBODY with issues getting up to alarm clock!!! But the alarm clock is just as nice for people with no hearing issues. The clock allows for a lot more control of tone and volume to make waking up more comfortable after all getting up to an alarm is NEVER appealing!!
