Go to alarms, edit, select the one you wish to edit. Go to alert sounds and select a short alert. I use the one orchestral melody. Hit back. Scroll all the way down and turn the repeat and the snooze options both off. You should be all set.

If you have a Kindle and you know your way around a terminal, you can use the aplay command and a crontab to make an alarm that plays any sound file at a certain time. I am trying this as the alarm.
Trying this tonight! Hope CANWILD WORKS!(=
I downloaded both, Pro Alarm, and Alarm Clock Pro, both only snooze after 2 minutes, and when i tried it last night it didn't work properly, it wanted me to click snooze...
Problem occurred! I remained conscious for awhile, waiting in bed to feel the SP kick in, the sound wound't stop though, so after awhile, i gave the chord of my earpiece a gentle tug, so it wouldn't be so loud. I didnt have a LD, could that slight movement been the reason I didn't feel the sleep paralysis to kick in? and does it matter how loud the alarm is?
Go to this link. This is the app I am talking about. If your still having problems read the instructions I gave to thequicks1. Here's the link to make sure you got the right app.

Hmm I tried this last night, I had the EasyMp3 Alarm Clock thing running on my computer, I didn't know how loud to put the volume however, I am a deep sleeper so I put it high, it woke me up and I managed to stay still but my eyes instantly shot open. So it must of been too loud I guess?
Problem is this being 4 seconds long I'm worried if it's too quiet I just won't awaken at all.
Huh, strange I've been attempting this for like a week now, but I always I mean literally almost always wake up before the alarm. Sometimes 10 or 30 minutes before it goes off. Its irritating because its almost impossible to fall back to sleep while acknowledging I'm about to DIELD.
I always do that with my normal alarm. It's very rare for me to actually hear my alarm going off because I usually wake up beforehand and shut it off. I actually prefer waking up that way, but keep the alarm set for the rare occasions when I don't wake up on my own. My suggestion to you is to try to set the intention to wake up at a certain time, without setting the alarm. That way you'll be ready to WILD without even needing the jarring alarm. If I didn't have to get up early for work or classes, I would try that myself.
I've been practising this technique even before I read about it - Wow. Didn't know it was one. I've just been plastering free mp3 files together to make something that will wake me up within that amount of time. My only issue is since I stopped practising, it's been hard to wake up without opening my eyes and moving around.
I'm sure it will come right though.
This is a very neat idea that I might try sometime soon. For now I'm testing out the FILD technique due to a lack of technology needed.
DOes anyone know where the mp3 link he posted is? the link seems to be broken, also I was curious where I could find the post-transition stabilization tutorial, that link also seems broken
Thanks,

From personal experience, you might want to just find an MP3 that suits you. I think I remember what the original MP3 file was: imagine a whistle, getting louder and higher in pitch for three seconds. It may end up jolting you rather than just awakening you, so I'd recommend finding a sound that's loud enough to awaken you, but serene enough to keep you from being startled.
Thanks! I used a sound that actually made me open my eyes which ruined it. I think i'll find something less loud. I think the hardest part is if its not loud enough I won't awake from my dream, if its too loud I'll wake up too much D:
hah any helpful hints are welcomed
well I failed this last night because I was to excited that I couldn't fall asleep. Anyways, I will try again and we will see.
