Abstract: An improved programmable and remote-controlled device for awakening a user through the user's sense of touch is disclosed. The device utilizes a time keeping alarm circuit to accurately track and display time and also to output an alarm signal at a user-defined preset alarm time. The alarm signal is modulated, amplified, encrypted, and transmitted to a receiving unit. The receiving unit is strapped to or otherwise held against the user's body. The receiving unit decodes the received encrypted alarm signal and activates a vibrating mechanism utilized to awaken the user via the vibrating mechanism without relying upon an audible alarm.
