I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house.

Is there anything else?

    There are actually watches/bands that will give a minor shock as an alarm. Sounds crazy but unless it jump to the wife (hope it wouldn’t be that strong…) it shouldn’t wake anyone. Novel idea if nothing else.

      Brilliant! Now, instead of being roused by her spouse’s watch vibrating, she can be jolted awake by him shrieking “Fuck!” every morning!

        I’d be more concerned with involuntarily slapping someone if it made my arm jerk or something.

          Rumor has it you spent a good amount of time “involuntarily slapping” with your arm-jerks…

      Interesting. Looks like “Pavlok” is the main brand. If OP buys their more expensive one OP could use it to silently wake up AND train himself to get out of bed super gently by shocking himself anytime he disturbs his wife!

      This might be my favourite option
