How do deaf people wake up for work or appointments since they can't hear alarms?

If such technology exists, not many could afford it.

BTW, a buddy of mine posed this question to me. :mindblown:

It doesnt have to be big... Something like vibrations from the alarm would wake them up. For me my phone is on silent but when someone is calling or txting the vibrations from my phone wakes me up.

Also some ppl have funding from the gov't which could get them a specially trained dog ( i saw this on FBEye Sue something tv show from way back).

Or if they have family members, someone would wake them up physically ( simple touch).

guess they'll ask someone to wake them up, or if they know that they usually sleep a certain number of hours a day, they'll go to bed early enough that they'll wake up on time for their appointment.

My turn: How does a cop go about arresting and transporting a quadruple amputee

I've got deaf family. They order a really strong alarm that shakes their beds. I don't think it was too expensive and it's well worth it as well. But when I hear that thing go off in the morning, I get a bit of a heart attack. :whew: It's damn strong.

Another Qeustion pertaining to the deaf community.

If you have a deaf neighbor who lives next door to you, and you notice the apartment complex is on fire, how do you go about waking them up?

everyone has a natural clock, I always wake up before my alarm, even mins before.

Sometimes I say to myself I need to wake up this time, and sure enough I will wake up at that time, though I usually wake up later than that.

If a neighbour notices such a thing, they wouldn't know if their deaf neighbour is asleep or even home, right? So it would depend on the individual. Some brave person might go into the fire but I'm guessing most would call the police and let them know that a deaf person may or may not be there.

Same way you would waking anyone else who's asleep during a fire.

Like Helen Keller? I've always wondered how her teacher was able to communicate with her - I know it was through touch but the specifics of it still make me wonder.
