Here's a little tip from me on wake up calls.
Wake-up calls: worst way to wake up. The phone
rings; it's loud; you can't turn it down, you can't
'snooze' it.
I leave the number of the room next to me, and then
it rings kind of quiet, and you hear a guy yell, "What
are you calling me for?"
Then you get up and take a shower. It's great.
Actually my hearing is so bad, I don't always hear the phone in my own room. Instead I set the clock radio to the rock station and put the volume on maximum. I then set the alarm on my Blackberry for two minutes earlier. If I wake up, I turn off the radio before it before it goes off. If the Blackberry doesn't wake me, you, if in a nearby room, and I will awake at the same time.
