Need alarm clock that alerts if phone rings, does it exist?
Discussion
I'll explain my exact requirements extensive googling has brought up a lot of products that do similar things to what I want but nothing that does exactly what I want.
1. I am having trouble sleeping and would like to leave my phone in a different room at night as its too easy to just pick it up if I am having trouble nodding off (which of course exaccerbates the problem).
2. I have an elderly relative that lives alone, she may need to contact me in the middle of the night and if she does I would like to be alerted that my phone is ringing but otherwise I don't want any alerts.
Is there an alarm clock or similar device that could help me with this situation?

Thanks guys for the quick replies, I have set my phone with the do not disturb except for a few numbers, I will try the Bluetooth speaker and see if that works. I could of course leave the phone on the other side of the room but the temptation would be to just pop up and grab it if I can't sleep. It's a bad habit I am trying to break and I just think a wall between me and it, is a good idea.

I did the same. Do not disturb with just wife, daughter and son able to bash through it. It worked perfectly when my wife phoned me at work to tell me our son had broken his ankle two months ago.
What about a self contained Bluetooth hands free solution like this on the bedside table?

Would alert you to the ringing but also allow you to answer the call without having to retrieve the phone.
