I do. Like many others, it's primarily so that I don't have to bring my phone into my room. I spend way too much time on my glowing pocket rectangle as it is.

I do. Like many others, it's primarily so that I don't have to bring my phone into my room. I spend way too much time on my glowing pocket rectangle as it is.
It's some Sony radio clock, given to me by a relative 8-10 years ago, likely from Walmart or someplace similar. I have it set to the local classical station which is usually more pleasant to wake up to than the beeper. (Though occasionally, train horns in the distance will sound like trumpets, and I'll wake up and have to determine if it's a literal false alarm or not!)
One strange thing about this clock is, it seems to have a half-implemented support for dimming the display. You can get the display to dim by mashing the snooze bar, but once it's dim there's no going back unless you pull the plug and the backup battery. I saw a thread on a forum once about people discussing this odd behavior, but nobody seemed to have any explanation.
