Bed Shaker Function

The bed shaker function is a key feature of many Sonic Boom alarm clocks, designed to provide a more physical wake-up call, especially for those who are hard of hearing or struggle to wake up with traditional alarms. Here’s how the bed shaker function works⁚

  • The Shaker Unit⁚ The bed shaker is a small, compact device that is connected to the alarm clock. It typically vibrates at a high frequency, creating a noticeable shaking sensation.

The bed shaker function can be a valuable asset for individuals who are hard of hearing, sleep deeply, or struggle to wake up to traditional alarms. It provides a physical stimulus that can help to rouse you from sleep and ensure you don’t miss your wake-up call.
