I'm definitely no early riser--never have been. I hit the snooze button every morning at least three times. I've never been able to wake up to that loud, buzzing sound either; I've always waken up to the radio. But even that is getting a bit annoying, especially when some hard-rock song comes on, and it scares the living crap out of me in bed.

As an alternative, I found the TV Alarm Clock. It lets you wake up to your favorite TV show, whether it's CBS' Early Show, Good Morning America, VH1's Music Videos, or reruns of Who's The Boss. All you do is set the clock at a desired waking time and then the TV Alarm Clock will send an infrared signal to your TV to turn it on. You can set up to three times for the alarm clock to turn the TV on or off automatically. Best of all, if you get tired of using the TV method, you can always use the traditional alarm included.

It also features a 2-inch screen with a bright blue backlight that displays the time and date. Operates on 2 AA batteries (included).

Buy the TV Alarm Clock from SmartHome for $22.99.
