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.

    Vibrating butt plug with timer

    Realistically, your wife is your partner and some sacrifices need to be made. If she can’t sleep through a watch, she should consider earplugs or just deal. I’m sure you silence it and leave the room ASAP so, that’s just life of sharing a room with a spouse.

    Edit like literally millions of spouses have tolerated their other rising before them, it’s a normal part of the deal

    If your wife is such a light sleeper that a vibrating watch is waking her perhaps sleeping in a separate room when you need to wake up at a certain time would work?

      Separate rooms is definitely not an option. It’s not so much super light sleeper just she is nursing and I’d like to get a workout in before everyone else wakes. If I wake the kids we’re all screwed if I wake her I ruin what peace she gets.

            Because it sounds like she’s sacrificing a lot to nurse a new baby, so maybe you could sacrifice a little bit for her so she can get at least a bit of sleep.

    Haven’t used an alarm in many years. It is something you can train and get better at, just actively tell yourself when you want to wake up. Boom, magic.

      Just saw that this was downvoted quite a bit. Not sure what the beef was. I seriously haven’t used an alarm clock in like 10-15 years.
