re: Who has a clock/radio on their nightstand?

I have this exact model 1980s GE digital alarm clock. It sits not on the nightstand, but a tall chest of of drawers. I can see it at a glance if I awake in the middle of the night.

I have it sitting away from the bed. I have to actually get out of bed to turn off the alarm. No rolling over and hit snooze.

Not to sound to 1984'ish but I like to think my devices are not listening.

I get that point but my cognitive dissonance lets me sleep at night.

I almost never need to charge my phone at night.

Not that it isn't listening 24/7.

I have two Gen Z kids. Neither want anything to do with clocks.They are like why?, I have a phone.

They both know how to read one, and not just the digital kind.

I have a Sony shaped like a cube that projects the time on the ceiling.

I never realized that ceiling projection was so popular. Sounds I get, but time on the roof is odd to me.

That is why mirrors on the ceiling are so popular in some bedrooms.

My Grandfather has the same clock/radio on his night stand he bought in the 1970s .

He said that damn thing will still be working after he’s gone.

Sangean CL-100 weather radio.

That’s mine. It’s been in my room since I was 6 years old and I’m over 40 now.

I have a Bose Clock radio on my night stands in both houses. At the dimmest setting it's hard to read the time.

I also charge my apple watch on top of the clock radio and if I need to check the time, I just hit the night stand and it turns the watch clock on, which is easy for me to read since the font is much bigger.

Works for me.
