Where I lived back then, it was a little bit difficult to get those devices. I even used a single mp3 player with a long time of battery autonomy, and created a list of empty files of around 10 min each in order to play the particular file at a particular time. It was a bit tedious to program the schedule, but at the end I was able to synchronize it with my sleep pattern. Long after that I got my USB mp3 alarm clock which worked better although consumed too much energy. Now I think there are a lot of app's for iphones, etc. that fit into the needs for these sort of projects, I find it really interesting how things have change in just a couple of years. I like those SleepPhones by the way, it's like wearing a nightcap. Are they still comfortable during summer?

On the other hand, I think my main problem with audio files, was when I knew them (self-made or not), I paid too much attention to them and consequently I woke up too much. I don't know how to put some randomness in order to avoid expecting what's coming next, perhaps that would help to break the attention on them.

One more thing. Wouldn't be it enough by using single signals in stead of complex audio files?
