Good suggestion, I'm surprised how often people I know don't realize that option.
I quite often use them if I fear some noise might interrupt my sleep. The only issue is whether I will hear an alarm clock, but either you just have to have a noisy alarm clock near you, or use some vibrating alarm clock.
Sure you can set your phone alarm to vibration and put it under your pillow (so you'd definitely wake up for the vibration, if not the noise), but I'd feel uncomfortable trying to sleep with a mobile phone next to my head. I keep hearing these rumors that the radiation etc. does affect sleep, ie. you shouldn't keep a mobile phone very close to you while you sleep...
There are also generic alarm clocks with separate vibrating units to put under pillow (meant mainly for deaf people), but i guess nowadays most use their mobile phones as alarm clocks.
