Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Smart Alarm

Will it actually wake me up if I'm a heavy sleeper?

Yes! This is our most asked question, and we understand the skepticism—you've probably slept through countless alarms before.

Here's why the Smart Alarm is different: vibration on your wrist creates a physical, tactile sensation that your brain processes differently than sound. While your ears can "tune out" repetitive noises (a phenomenon called habituation), your body responds to direct physical touch even in deep sleep.

In testing with over 500 heavy sleepers, 99% reported waking up on time with a vibrating wrist alarm.

Our escalating vibration pattern starts gentle and progressively intensifies, ensuring even the deepest sleepers are roused. Many customers who've "tried everything" tell us this finally works for them.

Back to questions

Will it wake my partner or baby?

No—that's exactly what we designed it for. The vibration is completely silent and contained to your wrist. Your partner sleeping inches away won't feel or hear a thing.

This is perfect for:

  • Couples with different schedules
  • New parents who need to wake for feeds without disturbing baby
  • Roommates in shared spaces
  • Anyone who's tired of the guilt of waking others

Customers consistently tell us their partners didn't even know the alarm went off—they just woke up to find their partner already up and ready.

Back to questions

Is it comfortable to wear all night?

Absolutely. The Smart Alarm weighs less than 30 grams and features a soft, flexible silicone band that's designed specifically for sleep wear. Most users forget they're wearing it within the first few nights.

The slim profile means no bulky watch face digging into your wrist when you shift positions. We've had customers who previously couldn't stand wearing anything to bed tell us this is the exception.

The band is also hypoallergenic and breathable, so even if you tend to get warm at night, it won't cause irritation.

Back to questions

How long does the battery last?

The Smart Alarm lasts approximately 14-20 days on a single charge with daily use. That's about two to three weeks before you need to think about charging.

Compare this to smartwatches that need charging every day or two. You can set it, forget it, and trust it'll be ready every morning.

When battery does run low, a simple indicator lets you know it's time to charge. A full charge takes about 2 hours via the included USB cable.

Back to questions

How is this different from a smartwatch?

Great question—many people wonder why they shouldn't just use their Fitbit or Apple Watch. Here's the difference:

Purpose-built vibration: Smartwatches have weak vibrations designed for notifications. The Smart Alarm has significantly stronger, escalating vibration specifically engineered to wake heavy sleepers.

No distractions: No midnight notifications buzzing your wrist. No blue light. No temptation to check messages. Just sleep and a reliable wake-up.

Superior battery life: While your Apple Watch needs daily charging, the Smart Alarm goes 2-3 weeks. It won't die overnight because you forgot to charge it.

Simplicity: One job, done perfectly. No complex apps, no ecosystem to manage—just set your alarm and go to sleep.

Back to questions

Is it safe to wear while sleeping?

Yes, completely safe. The Smart Alarm uses gentle mechanical vibrations—similar to a phone on vibrate—with no electric current passing through your body.

There's no significant radiation, no electromagnetic interference concerns, and the low-voltage battery poses zero risk. It's far safer than sleeping with your phone under your pillow.

The silicone band is medical-grade and hypoallergenic, and the buckle is nickel-free to prevent skin reactions. Vibrating alarms have been used safely by the deaf and hard-of-hearing community for decades.

Back to questions

Can I set multiple alarms?

Yes! You can set up to 3 separate alarm times, perfect for:

  • Different wake times on different days
  • A "warning" alarm followed by a "get up now" alarm
  • Shift workers with rotating schedules

Each alarm can be individually enabled or disabled, so you can pre-set your times and just toggle them as needed.

Back to questions

What if the vibration isn't strong enough?

The Smart Alarm uses an escalating vibration pattern that starts gentle and progressively intensifies over 30-60 seconds. If the initial vibration doesn't wake you, it gets stronger until it does.

This is different from cheap vibrating alarms that use a single, often weak, vibration level. Our motor is specifically engineered to deliver powerful pulses that heavy sleepers can't ignore.

We're so confident it'll wake you that we offer a satisfaction guarantee—if it doesn't work for you, return it for a full refund.

Back to questions

Can I snooze the alarm?

Yes, there's a snooze function if you need a few extra minutes. A simple button press gives you a 5-minute snooze.

That said, many customers find they actually need to snooze less with the Smart Alarm. Because vibration wakes you more gently than a jarring sound alarm, you don't get that panicked, groggy feeling that makes you desperately hit snooze. You wake up calmer and more alert from the start.

Back to questions

Does it work without my phone?

Yes! The alarm is stored directly on the device itself. Once you've set your alarm time, you can leave your phone in another room, turn it off completely, or even go camping with no signal—your alarm will still go off.

This is a major advantage for anyone trying to keep their phone out of the bedroom for better sleep hygiene. You get the wake-up reliability without the device dependency.

Back to questions

What's your return policy?

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Try the Smart Alarm for a full month—if it doesn't wake you up reliably or you're not completely satisfied for any reason, return it for a full refund. No questions asked.

We're confident enough in the product that we want you to test it in real conditions. Most customers who try it never send it back, but we want you to buy with zero risk.

Back to questions

How does the vibration wake me up?

Your brain processes tactile (touch) sensations differently than auditory (sound) ones during sleep. While you can habituate to and tune out repetitive sounds—which is why some people sleep through alarms—physical sensations on your wrist create a direct neurological response.

The vibration stimulates nerve endings in your skin, sending a signal that your brain interprets as "something is happening to my body," triggering a natural arousal response.

Research shows waking by vibration produces lower cortisol spikes than jarring sound alarms, meaning you wake up calmer and more alert—not in a panic.

It's similar to someone gently tapping your shoulder to wake you, rather than yelling in your ear.
