I'm actually kind of surprised by the number who use cell phones to wake up...have we become that dependent on them?

i actually implement a unique system -- i set both my cell phone and my regular alarm clock. my cell alarm is quieter, so if i wake up with that alone, great -- i don't wake up my parents. but if i sleep through my cell phone, my louder, regular alarm clock blasts the radio loudly and i'm sure to get up. if i somehow manage to sleep through both... starts with an "s" and ends with a "crewed."
