   Deaf people often use various methods to wake up on time without relying on traditional auditory alarms. Here are some common strategies they may employ:

   1. Vibrating Alarm Clocks: Many deaf individuals use alarm clocks that vibrate. These clocks can shake the bed or have a bed shaker that can be placed under the mattress or pillow, making it easier to wake up without sound.

   2. Visual Alerts: Some may use alarm clocks with flashing lights or visual indicators that signal the time to wake up. These can be particularly effective in a dark room.

   3. Smartphone Apps: There are several apps available that provide vibrating alarms or visual signals, such as flashing lights or screen notifications, to wake users up at a designated time.

   4. Partner Assistance: If they live with someone, a partner or roommate can gently shake them awake or use a visual cue to alert them that it’s time to get up.

   5. Morning Routines: Establishing a consistent morning routine can help too, where they train their bodies to wake up at the same time each day without an external alarm.

   6. Light-Based Alarms: Some use sunrise simulation alarm clocks that gradually increase light intensity to mimic a natural sunrise, which can help regulate their sleep cycle.

   These methods ensure that deaf individuals can effectively wake up on time while accommodating their sensory needs.
