It helps me to fall asleep when i read something and so i sometimes awake finding the running laptop besides me.

I normally do not take off my wristwatch so i also sleep with it but it is a mechanically operated one, no batteries in it.

I have (probably unbelievable for an american) not even a TV (i prefer to read newspapers) so remote controls are out of question.

Not a thing. Even my alarm clock (which isn't a poll entry, but I think should be :P) is well across the room, to force me to get out of bed in the morning.

I sleep with my mobile phone (but it's purely platonic, I assure you!!)

It acts as my alarm clock. Only because my alarm clock is impossible to understand and harder to set.

I also sometimes sleep with my iPod. Which usually means I don't hear my alarm clock.

It also means I don't hear my boss when he calls on my alarm clock, err, mobile.
