What is a discreet way of waking myself?

Squizzy@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 86 points –

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?

I can't imagine that you can get out of bed without waking your wife if your smartwatch vibrating wakes her up.

Idk, my husband can sneak out of bed, but his phone vibrating in the bed wakes me. Even if it's just a little zzt to indicate a text has come in. I guess it's one of the noises I'm "listening for"?

Depends where the arm is I think. When it vibrates under the pillow you're using, it can sound very loud

I assume that OP isn't sleeping with the wrist wearing the watch underneath the pillow their wife has her head on.

Pulling your arm from under a pillow someone is using seems very likely to disturb them and wake them. You're not doing that, OP, right?
