I have this very same problem. The doctors here call it narcolepsy. This wouldn't work for me, though. I would just fall back to sleep despite the alarm. Hell, I slept through three alarms today. |

btw, is the title deliberate? |

I'm normally a stickler for not americanising words, but 'orienting' just sounded better than 'orientating' in the title. |

'temporally' usefully distinguishes this invention from two other kinds of alarm clock, viz.
1. The spatially orienting alarm clock "Brrring! Yes, you have fallen out of bed again, but don't worry, you are in your own house and will find clean underpants to your right."
2. The spiritually orienting alarm clock "Brrring! When last asked, you had committed your life to Jesus. Your lenten discipline is... not stated. Your besetting sin is... sloth." |

I like this idea, but I could see myself ending up developing the ability to mumble my way through the sheaf of probable dates while half asleep and losing the ability to say anything else until mid-morning (already got a start on that). |
