Yes, but if he did that and it appeared on Twitter, he'd loose brownie points

I'm not in a traffic car now! Tactical contact not allowed in transit connect vans.

I have just genuinely laughed allowed at that and got some very strange looks as a result!

Being woken up by the alarm again when deep asleep. I don't sleep that well so when i do sleep this well i could do with waking up naturally.

Roll on the holidays, only one more week of work. Body says it needs a rest.

You need to get that app that detects if you are in a light or deep sleep. It only wakes you if you are sleeping lightly

Sleep cycle alarm clock it's called

I'd always be late for work if I had an alarm like that.

Its a nice idea Darren, unfortunately kids have to be fed & dressed ready for school

Wifes on nights so I have to be up, otherwise like NTECUK says we'd all be late

I always sleep better in the winter, due to the dark mornings, but I always seem to be over tired.

Perhaps I'm a bear and should hibernate until Spring?

Na you set a start and finish time. The earliest and latest you want to wake up. It picks the time when you are sleeping lightest
