Odd use-case issue: any ideas?

I am at a loss as how to solve this little dilemma.

I like to listen to podcasts and audiobooks as I go to sleep and use a single earbud (necessary so I don't disturb the wife). At some point during the night the earbud falls out and eventually the book or podcast finishes (although I never know it). So far, so good.

But I also like using my phone as my alarm clock (I use Gentle Alarm, but it would be the same problem regardless). The problem is that when the alarm goes off, it can't play through the speakers because the headphone is plugged in, but I can't hear it because it has inevitably fallen out of my ear.

What to do?
