    Other alarm clock?

    what you can try is to get a vibrating wrist watch, like Fitbit etc. I don't know that will be strong enough for him but it does for me. it will keep on vibrating until you presses the button. This is nice to have when I can set my own time and let the bed vibrate for my wife.
