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?

Just set an alarm to wake you up before the main alarm and then silence the main alarm and get up. But then you need to set another alarm to remind you to cancel that alarm.

Ultimately you’re going to have to smother her with your pillow before the first alarm goes off, that way it won’t be able to bother her, so make sure to set an alarm to remind you.

If a smart watch vibrating on your wrist, assuming it wasn’t also alarming with audio, then how are you going to avoid waking her by just getting out of bed?

Did your smartwatch actually buzz/vibrate? Hate to shill, but try an Apple Watch. It doesn’t really buzz, but the haptics feel like a tap on the wrist.

That being said, if a discrete buzz wakes her, how are you supposed to get up without waking her?

Have her boyfriend give you a shake when its time to get up.

I originally read it as “…discreet way of walking myself…”Was thinking: “What kind of question is that? Just stand up and start walking somewhere. No need to be discreet about it…”

Then thought maybe the family dog was looking for advice from Lemmy?
