What is a discreet way of waking myself? - eviltoast

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?

    Kindly ask her to get used to your alarm sound, and not wake up then.

    This may seem harsh, but actually it isn’t. Every house has it’s own specific sounds, and it is quite normal to get used to them and not wake up. If you hear other sounds that are unusual, then you wake up. It is a natural thing.

      Yeah, we’ll get used to the house for sure, but I’ll have to be quiet for the time being. It’s not worth losing what could be an extra hour or two of everyone’s sleep. We generally make an effort to not shield them from noise during daytime naps and such, but sleep is too precious these days.
