Thanks Crazyinsane!

I will try this.

I also have some tips for IPOD users :-

1) The alram function alows you to sepcify a PLAYLIST instead of a sound/beep. Therefore all we need is a short 3-5 second audio file to place in the play list.

2) I dont sleep with headphones - I use a SleepSonic pillow - basically stereo speakers you can put in your pillow case or even under your pillow. These you plug into your IPOD and I already use the alarm feature to play a playlist of binaural beats after 4-5 hours.

3) YOu can record a short MP3 using a digital voice recorder. I use one to record my dreams anyway. I will make a short recording - something like "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, DONT MOVE, ITS WILD TIME".

I will try this when Im back at home (im on a trip right now).

Well done again CRazyinsane - im jazzed - this sounds promising
