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?

    Separate rooms is definitely not an option. It’s not so much super light sleeper just she is nursing and I’d like to get a workout in before everyone else wakes. If I wake the kids we’re all screwed if I wake her I ruin what peace she gets.

      Put the watch on your ankle? Probably idiotic, but that might be silent enough. And you’d have to do some work to make it stop, waking you up efficiently.

      Try a different watch or adjust the haptics to make it vibrate less? Casio sells an inexpensive alarm watch that vibrates if you can’t dial the watch back.

      I was just at Microcenter and saw these headbands you can wear while you sleep that have Bluetooth. They double a blinder for sleeping.

      My thought is maybe this could work where the Bluetooth will begin playing music to wake you up but the sound only is audible to you.

      You could test this with her before sleeping by adjusting the volume to the point where she says she can’t hear it but you still can.

        Lol I know the 5g stuff is a stupid myth but sleeping with a Bluetooth device strapped to your cranium feels like it’s putting the research conclusions to the test

            Oh God I didn’t even think about a rogue connection:

      A split king bed did wonders for my wife and I. I never feel her move. Now, if it’s noise that wakes her up, a sound machine could help.

      I don’t suppose there’s room for a bed in the babies’ room, so after the mid-night nursings she could sleep in there until they’re hungry again? Only if she wants to, of course. It can be more restful than trying to sleep with your ears on High for sounds of distress from the other room, which also makes you oversensitive to hubby’s alarm.

      Literally or figuratively?

      Could you or her be occupying another room for a few weeks/months or is it worth a fight
