7-day Alarm Clock for Crew

Rowing at 4:45 in the morning has it's challenges. Having different wakeup times in different parts of the week usually means resetting the alarm every night. Reid Kleckner solved the problem with an alarm clock from ThinkGeek that allows for different alarm times for -each day-, so no resetting is required. Here's what he has to say:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/lights/788e/ . It's called the Neverlate. It has settings for each day of the week, and you adjust the time via a dial instead of with hour/minute buttons. This means when you go one past your target time you don't have to click it 59 times, you can just dial back 1. I think it'd be cooler if you could set it to do different stuff to wake you up, but it just has the standard radio + buzzer and volume control. Also before you go to bed you can hit snooze and it flashes the next scheduled alarm time and day.

Hope that helps with some of your sleep woes, Reid
