I don’t know about you, but I use my Mac as an alarm clock. I think it’s the best way to go. Regular alarm clocks are notorious for having the most horrible, screeching alarms around. I think I’d rather be awoken by a car alarm. I started using my computer to wake me up because usually the first thing I do in the morning is turn on my computer to check my email. So I figured I’d save an extra step in my day and have my computer turn on by itself and then wake me up. Besides I’d rather wake up to a song I select rather than a cheap, ear-piercing clock alarms.

I recently tried out Alarm Clock Pro and I’m loving it so far. With Alarm Clock Pro I can wake up to my favorite internet radio station, MP3, CD, or video, I can even set a daily task list to be read aloud to me. If you don’t have a computer in your room Alarm Clock Pro can be configured to send text messages to your cell phone as well!
