| What does you DC use as an alarm clock if they have a roommate in their dorm room? My DC has a couple of very early classes so we want to respectful. What do kids do these days? |

| Phone as well. The other roommate will just have to deal early classes are a part of dorm life. |

| Their phone. You can have the alarm set to vibrate, and keep it next to the bed on a hard surface. Unless you're a super-deep sleeper, that should be enough to wake you up, but not so loud as to fully awaken your roommate. |

| The most respectful set-up is stuffing your alarm device under your pillow. Phone set to vibrate, or alarm on low. Problem is if you're a heavy sleeper, like DS. I don't know what he's going to do... |

| Our solution to this and so many other things was to secure a $ingle room |

| My kid uses her fitbit, which just vibrates I think. When we are sharing a hotel room it never bothers me but it wakes her. |

| My son uses an apple watch on vibrate. |

| Wow, there are a lot of overthinking threads today. Why can’t your kid use whatever she uses at hime - alarm clock, phone, whatever. Why is this any different than dorm life 30, 20 or 10 years prior?? |

| There are watches with vibrating alarms. I use one, and it works well on those days that I have to get up early. |

I know right? I mean unless the kid is a Ninja climbing out of your bunk and getting ready will probably wake them up anyway, the rooms aren't that big. Roommate will get over it. |

Practice kindness. As college departure approaches, parents get nervous. It is normal and comes out in many ways. You should try to work on your snarky/cynical attitude. |
