Alarm clock

A little dazed and confused I rolled over to grasp my phone. It was just out of reach, which I’m sure I did on purpose. I stretched my arm out as far as I could and nudged it with my finger tips. Thump! Still ringing it fell and slid under the bed. I crawled to the floor taking my blankets and pillow with me and finally shut the lousy noise off. My eyes sprung open as I glanced at the time, “7:10? Crap Madelyn you're so going to be late for work!” I told myself as I snatched my oversized black…

I WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED THIS MORNING. I stretched my hand out in search of Soraya’s warm touch, but found chilling sheets. I turn my head to find an empty bed. I look over at the clock on my bedside table--three thirty a.m.. Where was she? She didn’t have to get ready for school until five. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and prepared myself for the stinging feeling of the cold hardwood floor against my bare feet. I then remembered the soft slippers Sohrab got me for my…

They didn't know this would happen. Nobody did. And now they will pay. As the world came into focus, I realized my phone was not ringing as it was in my dream. It was my alarm clock, honking it’s tune at me, signaling that it was time to get up. I smashed my hand on the snooze button, missed, and instead, I smashed my hand on the corner of my bedside table. “OWWWW!” I yelled jumping out of bed to look at my hand. Thankfully, there was only minor bleeding. As I went to clean up my hand and put…

Beep! Beep! Beep! My alarm clock went off 5:00 am. I was putting my Camo hunting clothes on with my hunting jacket. I got my coffee started and got my new 243 wood grain stock with a thumb hole and a silver barrel out of the safe. My coffee was done I got one spoonful of sugar and dumped some nice warm licorice black coffee in my yeti cup. I grabbed my gun and walked out into the freezing cold morning, and started up the ranger. I set my gun in the ranger and started it up. I was letting the…

primitive version of the alarm clock. Plenty of people say that a considerable part of Da Vinci’s success was due to his unusual sleeping habits. Rather than sleeping 8 hours and staying awake for 16 like nearly all people did, he would use the polyphasic sleeping method. This consisted of napping for half an hour every 3 and a half hours. A large number of the writings found in Da Vinci’s Codex manuscripts show the passion he had for the time therefor Da Vinci pioneering the clock is no…

Currently in the healthcare setting, alarms are used in almost every aspect of care, from intensive care units down to basic care or outpatient settings. The advance in technology over the past decade or so has helped to further the implementation and scope of alarm usage. Alarms, such as cardiac monitors, bed/chair alarms, and alarms on enteral feeding and intravenous pumps, are used to monitor patient safety. These alarms work by producing some sort of signal that alerts staff members to a…

First day of 6th grade. My alarm clock beeped loudly and obnoxiously. I snapped awake, I spun around and looked at my alarm clock it read 7:00am. I jumped out of bed knowing that I had to go into the shower and get ready for school. I turned my show on half way between hot and cold, the room quickly filled up with steam. My shower took around 10 minutes and I got dressed. I wear basketball shorts with a bright orange shirt. “I might make it” I whispered to myself. My heart was starting to stop…

constantly hear are the alarm monitors. The nurses begin to technically not hear the sound anymore. These alarm monitors have become very dangerous for our hospitals. Alarm monitors can put patients safety in bad situations. “Since 1960, hospitals have become progressively noisier over time, leading to a false-alarm environment. When the staff hears alarms constantly going off, they realize a large majority are not emergencies, which leaves them to respond at a slower pace. When alarms are…

“Beep Beep Beep!” My alarm usually screams at me to wake me from my usual unforgiving short bedtime hours, but not today. Today, waking up without the assistance of that cringe worthy noise, with eyes still heavy, I reached my arm out from under the cozy blankets and switched the alarm button to off, as it was no longer needed. Bringing my arm back into my side, with my eyes still closed I laid there wondering why this morning I did not have to be shaken back to life. I easily narrowed it down…

Beep, beep, beep! went Juniper's alarm. "Ugh," groaned Juniper, dragging herself out of bed. Juniper used the washroom, made her bed, and changed her clothes. Juniper loved the mornings, except for one part: going through the hallway; it took like one million years to get through! One million years later, she reached the stairs and sighed with relief. "Ahhh!" exclaimed Juniper. She started to walk down the stairs . . . until she reached the bottom stair with a toy car stuck to her bottom.…
