Sleep.FM is a great way to wake up with the web. It has a variety of music and sound effects that will help you get out of bed and into the day. You can also use it to relax before bed.

Who likes waking up to an annoying loud buzzer every morning? Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up to a cool and calm message telling you how the weather is, that your flight is delayed, or the meeting was canceled so you can just stay in bed?

Well, this is the vision of the developers of Sleep.FM the social alarm clock. You might be cautious about using an online alarm because your Internet connection might be disconnected for some reason. Well, the cool thing is Sleep.FM will work offline as well by playing the day & date alarm which is loaded into the browser. You just need to access the page online and leave the page up. You can even set or change alarms while offline!

Note: if all you want is a loud alarm clock, check out our previous mention of web application Kuku Klok.

Using Sleep.FM

Currently Sleep.FM is in beta where a bunch of features are being tested and worked out. You can use it right now though with some of the basic features such as learning the time, date, current weather.

The alarm information will continue to loop until you shut it off. This is good because my PC is across the room from me so I actually have to get up and out of bed to turn it off. No hitting snooze for 20 minutes!
