The real difficulty I see with this circuit is the interphase connection to the flux-capacitor is unclear
and the dilithium crystals will only power the warp reactor when the omega vector turns blue.

On the upside, going back in time to turn off the alarm before it wakes you will ensure a peaceful night's sleep.
Brilliant! :D

My depth alarm is on vibrate. It's kind of a crunching feeling.

Don't think a small LED would do that and with all due respect, a transistor circuit unless you understand that. That is pretty deep, you must admit. So let's think simple or use the ol' KISS philosophy! :D :D

So it just occurred to me that maybe there are devices already developed that will suffice. Something simple and something that is waiting to be Googled-up!

Sure hope so.

My oldest son is a sound sleeper - something he did not get extra credit for in morning college classes :P . My wife found a web store catering to deaf people and found an alarm clock that was about as loud as a fire alarm and also had a vibrator and bright strobe light. May be able to find a similar product that can be triggered by an external signal.
