Arguably the most toxic trait I have (being otherwise totally perfect) is that over the years I’ve learned how to hit the snooze button in my sleep. My chronic snoozing habits have resulted in me waking up in a panic one too many times. But I refuse to admit I’m the problem. So to my current alarm clock, I say this: “It’s not me, it’s you.” I’m sorry, but I just expect more from my trusty tech devices. That’s why I turned to some of the best alarm clocks for heavy sleepers that actually pull me away from my comfy mattress.
You know, something with a little bit more oomph to it. Something that makes me feel like I have my own personal drill sergeant to wake me up (@ my mom, miss you!). So if you’ve ever felt like you needed something as drastic as a mini earthquake to physically shake you out of bed or a mega-loud alarm that sounds like you woke up amid The Purge, I’ve got the perfect picks for you.
Below, I sourced all the best alarm clocks designed for deep sleepers that help you rise and shine. And don’t worry—yes, these alarm clocks might be a little more intense than your phone’s ringtone, but they also look and feel chic enough to fit in seamlessly with your bedroom’s current aesthetic. Because who says your morning routine can’t be cute? So get ready, because your mornings are about to get a whole lot brighter (and louder).
This alarm clock isn’t just loud, it’s oh-my-god-what-is-happening and am-I-dreaming loud. With a 113-decibel alarm (which, translation, is as loud as a live concert), this is sure to be a game changer. It’ll take you back to those moments where your mom would yell at you over and over to get up for school (just me? okay) and jolt you out of dreamland. Trust me, the Sonic Bomb is meant to be as intimidating as it sounds and will ensure you never sleep through an alarm again. But just in case you want to fuss with the setting just a bit, rest assured that it is fully customizable and has adjustable volume and tone settings. I’m trusting you to make the right decisions here!

Glowing customer review: “This is a product that does exactly what it’s made to do: wake you up! The alarm is loud, not extremely loud to the point it hurts your ears but loud enough you wouldn’t be comfortable standing near it for very long when it goes off. The bed shaker that comes with it is great. I noticed some people put them under the mattress; I put mine right into my pillowcase. This thing shakes and it shakes hard, right under your head or even under your mattress it will wake you up in a hurry.”
Perhaps a super-loud, pitchy alarm clock might wake you up, but it won’t really get you out of bed. No prob. Clocky will ensure your days of hitting the off button and then getting a few extra minutes of shut-eye are long gone. This alarm clock has wheels, and as soon as the alarm goes off, it proceeds to roll off your nightstand, forcing you to get up and chase it down. BRB, trying to girl-math my way into canceling my gym membership because of all the running I’m about to do…

Glowing customer review: “This alarm clock finally makes me get out of bed! The alarm noise is super obnoxious, and having to chase a moving object around first thing definitely wakes me up.”
As someone who lives with their boyfriend, I dread hearing his alarm in the morning just as much as I hate waking him up when it’s my own. But I think I found the solution: the Pavlok Shock Clock 3. This alarm clock is innovative and really goes the extra mile to make your wake-up calls that much more gentle. As opposed to hearing a blasting loud alarm, this watch will lightly zap your wrist when it’s time to start your day. The vibrations, beeps, and electric jolts are all customizable depending on your needs. Rest assured you won’t actually be shocked by this lil gadget, but you will be shocked at how darn effective it is!

- Noise levels: Control noise and zap strength on app
Glowing customer review: “My boyfriend and I have very different work schedules and our relationship has been saved, thanks to this silent but very effective alarm! It has been working consistently for about a year now with no problems but we got the warranty just in case.”
Noise-oriented wake-ups just not doing it for ya? Perhaps it is time you turn to an alarm clock that focuses on vibrations. This powerful device shakes and rumbles until you exit your slumber. Earthquake? No, just your new alarm! It’s recommended to put the bed shaker directly on your mattress for the most effective results. P.S. You can also customize the volume and intensity to fit your mood.

- Noise levels: Loud buzzer, super bed shaker
Glowing customer review: “I am a heavy sleeper when it comes to alarms. I can even go as far as turning off my alarms while I’m still sleeping and/or half asleep and cannot recall it. With this alarm, there is no just turning it off. It does its job and wakes me up well.”
Not into the look of high-tech gadgets decorating your nightstand? This analog alarm clock is chic and versatile while still being v effective at waking up the deepest of sleepers. This small alarm clock is equipped with an extra-loud alarm for heavy sleepers and has silent, non-ticking hands, so it won’t bother you as you rest. Personally, I love the vintage look of this one so much and it’s available in more than 10 chic colors.

Glowing customer review: “As a deep sleeper, I’ve struggled to find an alarm clock loud enough to wake me up, but this one does the job perfectly. The twin-bell design is incredibly effective. The alarm is loud and persistent, making it impossible to sleep through. It’s a true lifesaver for anyone who has trouble waking up in the morning.”
