What is the Quake Launch Alarm?
An alarm clock with a vibration plate that goes under your adult child's pillow. At alarm time it wakes them with vibration and a loud alarm together, so they feel it and hear it at once.
- Two senses at once, much harder to ignore
- Vibration built for adults with ADHD
- Alarm up to 100dB
How does it work?
- Plug the clock in and set the wake-up time.
- Slide the vibration plate under their pillow.
- Set it to vibration + sound for the strongest wake-up.
- At alarm time the plate vibrates and the alarm sounds together. It resets itself for the next morning.
What's in the box?
- Quake Launch Alarm clock
- Vibration plate on a 71-inch cable
- USB power cable

Why every alarm has failed them
It's not that they won't wake up. Sound alone can't reach them.
A sleeping ADHD brain tunes out sound, and every alarm they've had relied on it. Quake wakes them by touch instead, with a loud alarm alongside to keep them up.
How it gets them up, and keeps them up
The pillow shakes
The vibration plate under their pillow does what shaking them would do. Touch gets through where sound doesn't.
The alarm goes off
At the same moment, an alarm up to 100dB sounds from the clock across the room.
An awake brain
When two senses agree, the brain treats it as real and wakes up properly. And to stop it, they have to get out of bed, so there's no drifting back off.
Nothing to switch off from bed
The plate has no buttons. The controls sit across the room on a 71-inch cable.

It worked the very first morning
It woke him the first morning and it's worked every day since. Feeling it and hearing it together is what does it. He actually gets up now instead of rolling over, and he hasn't been late for work once.
Up before I've finished my coffee
My son is up before I've finished my coffee, every single morning. He's 23, has ADHD, and gets himself to work on his own now. For the first time I'm not worrying about what happens when he lives on his own.
Classes, then her first job
My daughter is 20 and hasn't missed an 8am class all semester. Last month she picked up a weekend job on her own. Watching her take charge of her mornings made me tear up.
Up for every 6am shift
He's up for his 6am shift every day and comes home proud of himself. Took one night to find a volume that didn't wake my husband too, but after that it's been perfect.
His first full-time job, at 22
He's three weeks into his first full-time job and up at 7 every morning. I'd honestly started to believe he was lazy. Turns out he just couldn't wake up. Now he's talking about getting his own place.
He starts his first job Monday
He was up the first morning, just tired after gaming late. Within a few days he was going to bed earlier on his own, and with his mornings back he started applying. He starts at the distribution center Monday.
Our mornings feel like ours again
Breakfast together, no raised voices, everyone out the door on time. He finally has a daily routine, and the whole house feels calmer for it.
We're close again
He's applying for apprenticeships and asks me to look over his applications. Without the morning battle, we've got our relationship back, and that's worth more to me than anything.
The bigger change
The alarm gets them up. The routine changes their life.
Once they have a reliable way to wake up, their routine starts. Even if they've been staying up late, getting up at the same time every morning means their body starts wanting to sleep earlier. And that matters more than it sounds.
What the research found
Better focus and motivation when a late body clock moves earlier, by waking up at the same time every day. van Andel et al.
A regular schedule beats an irregular one. Harvard found young adults did better at what they were working towards, on the same sleep. Phillips et al., 2017
What to expect, from the first morning
- Day 1
Up without you, and they stay up
It wakes them the first morning. They feel it and hear it at once, and the off switch isn't within reach, so there's no drifting back. If they were up late they'll be tired, and that tiredness is what sends them to bed earlier that night.
- Within 2β3 days
Their body clock starts shifting
Getting up at the same time is how sleep specialists pull a late body clock earlier. They're falling asleep earlier and waking up more easily. You've stopped going in to wake them, and mornings in the house are quiet.
- Less than two weeks
More focus, a better mood, more hours
Up earlier means more of the day, and the energy to use it: getting to work on time, every time, or getting applications out and getting ready for interviews.
- Less than a month
A routine that holds without anyone pushing
They're back on track and making real progress. Holding down the job or landing one, and starting to stand on their own.
How Quake stacks up
Wristbands give a faint buzz from a tiny motor, and they're silent. Loud alarms rely on sound alone. Quake uses a strong vibration and a loud alarm together.

| Touch and sound together | |||
| No off button within reach in bed | |||

Built for the way they sleep
Made to get them up.
Wakes them the way you would.
The vibration plate sits under their pillow and shakes them awake at alarm time. No more going in to wake them yourself.
Built for adults with ADHD.
The vibration's strength and rhythm are built for adults with ADHD, to wake a brain that tunes out sound.
Feel it and hear it at once.
An alarm up to 100dB goes off with the vibration. When two senses agree, it's much harder to switch off and drift back to sleep.
Questions
Good to know.
Will it work when every other alarm hasn't?
Can't they just switch it off half-asleep?
What if they stay up late?
Do they need an ADHD diagnosis?
Will it wake the rest of the house?
Does it need an app or Wi-Fi?
What if it doesn't wake them?
Up on their own. On their way.
Hand the morning back to them, and watch the routine take hold. Try it risk-free for 60 nights.
