Would be neat to see numbers about how many people actually have trouble with alarms. I don't. I actually tend to wake up right before the alarm goes off even. Just saying, we may think it's a large problem because people who have the problem complain a lot, but there may not actually be enough people out there with the problem to support a business...

I have a huge problem with them. Usually I've got 5-6 alarms set one after another to wake me up properly. Even if I put the clock/phone far away, I'm quite capable of getting up, going there, turning it off (code or whatever protection is not enough to stop me), going back to bed and not remembering any of it. And no, I'm not sleepwalking really. I'm just not awake enough to do a mental switch between "there's this thing that's annoying me, I must stop it to continue sleeping" to "it's morning, this annoying thing is trying to wake me up".

On a typical day my alarm wakes up my girlfriend and she pokes me until I wake up. Actually, I just switched to an Android phone, so I'm going to try some of those movement detection apps... we'll see how good they are.

One cool thing we can add to the app is all the features you just described about multiple alarms and snooze options or screen-lock codes or whatever. We can have a mode where it starts off kind of quiet and gets louder, or maybe you want a really nice song to start off with, but then you can have it play more and more annoying songs if you keep hitting snooze. We hope you wouldn't have to keep hitting snooze though, because the iDreamSaver is going to wake you up at the right time to begin with!

I wish that was the case for me. I get up around 5:30 every morning, and without something to rouse me I'd sleep far longer and miss out on some of the most productive time of my day.

The thought of having something to wake me me if I'm stirring between 5:15-5:45, for example, seems like a great concept, as I know at least half of the time my alarm clock goes off I'm in a dead sleep and it really is a lousy way to start the day...

Anyway, +1 $79 from my end. Here's hoping there are enough of us!

For me the problem isn't that I have trouble waking up with the help of an alarm. I too tend to wake up right before the alarm goes off. The problem is that I wake up groggy and that's the problem I guess this alarm is trying to solve. It wakes you up while you're in light sleep by monitoring your motion, so that you get up feeling refreshed. I think there are enough people out there who face the same problem and can support the OP's business.

Please don't astroturf.

Not trying to astroturf. I don't own an iPhone, nor do I plan to buy one. Also $89 for the base model plus $20 for international shipping, is a bit too much for an alarm. I have heard of similar alarms and assumed that they're trying to solve the same problem that I face.
