Alarming tales: What goes on INSIDE Reg hack's hi-tech bedroom

Fitness Bracelets With vibration wrist alarms FTW

Having this same problem for years, struggling and struggling to find an even workable solution I inadvertantly found the jackpot! I recently became interested in the fitness bracelets from Jawbone and FitBit and decided to try a few. While I am neither convinced or impressed with their performance in their intended purpose i found a much more relevant use. Both the Jawbone UP and the Fitbit Flex that I tried have a vibration motor that can be set to an alarm. Since they are worn on the wrist this vibration is silent to the person next to you but give an amazing and effective wake up to the person wearing it. in our home this has completely solved our off timed wake-up issues. Also See Zband for $50 should be out soon and may be another alternative.
