You know one of the things that I absolutely love when I travel and stay in a hotel? It’s the wake up call that you can get the people at the desk to give in the morning. I get tired easy when I travel and I always worry if I’ll wake up on time. Oh sure I bring my own little travel alarm clock with me, but it’s failed a few times – just plain didn’t work. If I’m traveling and I simply have to get up I can’t be relying on an alarm that may or may not work. Same thing with the hotel room alarm clocks – they don’t always work well either. So I ask for a wake up call. It’s so nice.

Do you agree that wake up calls are nice? Maybe even that they’ve saved your butt a few times? Yeah I thought so.

I bet that you’ve even thought that it’d be nice to have a wake up call at home sometimes too? I’m lucky, if I sleep in my husband usually wakes me up, but if he’s already gone to work or if he’s out of town? Yeah – I’ve been late for work because I’ve slept through the alarm. luckily that’s only happened once or twice, but still, you just feel awful when that happens.

I’m pleased to be able to tell you that you can have a wake up call at home if you want to. Yes, I’m not pulling your leg. There’s a site that you can go to, it’s located at Snoozester.com . This site provides a service that will provide you with wake up calls anywhere, any place, any time.

Just log into the site and sign up for an account. Once you’re registered you can start scheduling your wake up calls. You can schedule the wake up calls to go to any phone number or cell phone that you’d like. You just register and an account, add in your phone number and perhaps your cell number and start schedule wake up calls. It’s that easy. You can even choose to have your wake up calls delivered to you by Snoozester Characters. The characters are fun voices that greet you when you answer the wake up call. You can select from a number of Character voices whenever you schedule a wake up call.

Then there’s a service called Secure Awake – it’s for people that know they don’t wake up easily. This feature tells Snoozester to repeatedly telephone you until you answer the phone. It will call you every three minutes for 20 minutes. When you answer you can select number 1 to confirm that you are awake, or push number 2 to tell snoozester to let you sleep for a while longer and call you back.

The site is very easy to use – just follow the steps in the registration process, and then follow the step by step process to begin scheduling your wake up calls. You get 10 free wake up calls when you sign up with Snoozester. You can sign up for a variety of packages that provide you with a certain number of calls per month. The packages range from 3.99 to 14.99 per month. They even have gift certificates available in case you know someone who could really use this service.

You can learn more about this service by reading through their site or by visiting their sleep blog. Also, if you own or work for a large company with employees that might need regular wake up calls you can visit their Corporate Snoozester site. Contact their customer service if you have questions that aren’t answered on their site, they promise to reply very quickly.
