I use my iPhone as an alarm, so when it goes off, I pick it up and casually scroll through whatever emails may have come in while I was asleep.

When I wake up, I'll go through emails on my iPhone - the junk email. At that point, my brain isn't usually awake enough to handle anything more than that.

As soon as they try, the alarm goes off. It's not a silent alarm. It screams. We haven't had a break-in since.

Dreams are the expression of the unconscious while we are asleep.

All too often when people hear life's alarm clock go off they wake up only long enough to hit the snooze button.

Nest Thermostat owners like the carbon monoxide link. If Nest Protect's carbon monoxide alarm goes off, the Nest Thermostat automatically turns off the gas furnace.
