I keep miss my alarm clock. I set 2 of my android phone. They do ring. I also set my clock with the bell.
But I miss them all.
Is there any sure shot not to miss alarm.
It’s a bit microtransactional but alarm clock extreme for Android is a good solution for me https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarmclock.xtreme.free
It was a lot better before AVG labs bought it from the original dev though. They discarded all original purchases making it like they never happened. That said, I’ve bought it twice because it’s so good.
No sure shot but it does sound like it’s not the alarm that’s the problem. You’ve trained yourself to be able to ignore your alarm, that it doesn’t mean “get-out-of-bed” time to your unconscious brain. Change the alarm tone on your phone and have a few practice sessions. Set your new alarms after a short nap and as soon as those alarms go off throw off all the covers and stand up fully as soon as you can. The idea is to retrain your brain to get up all the way at the sound of that alarm.
Another thing that’s really helped me personally is installing a smart light bulb that turns itself on just before my sound alarms start going off. That way I’m not trying to force myself awake in a dark noisy room.
Drink a full glass of water before bed, eventually you’ll learn how much to drink to wake you at about the correct time. I used to be absolutely dead to the world while sleeping, I even needed a shock bracelet to wake me. Drinking water was one method I used though.
I use an old standalone alarm clock, that I put on the other side of the room. So I have to get up to turn it off.
And if it’s not loud enough put it in a small metal pan or bowl, and place that inside a partially opened dresser drawer. Amplifies it quite a bit in addition to your suggestion to physically get up to turn it off.
This. I have an old vintage alarm clock that I put across the room. It’s set to my “if you aren’t up by now you will be late no matter what” time. If my phone alarms don’t get me up, this thing is so loud and unpleasant I will certainly get up.
Phone ringers are too pleasant sound and easy to snooze. I need to change the tone every few months as I adapt to them all. A harsh metal bell or mechanical buzz on an alarm with no snooze that I cant reach from bed has me wake up at the last phone ringer because it is so ear shattering when that alarm clock goes off, I can snap through all but the worst sleep deficit nights.
It also pisses off the girlfriend when that annoying thing goes off too, so then I have her mad at me for waking her up if I’m not up to shut it off before it lets loose.
I personally use sleep as android for my wake up alarm when I really need to get up. Has various options that help me. Like forcing me to get out of bed to scan a QR code to dismiss the alarm. Among other great things.
I second this, been using it for years.
The smart alarm feature that senses when you’re already moving around a bit is great too, especially when used with a smart watch/fitness band of some kind
Don’t forget one the best parts. Sleep noises for when you need to sleep but your brain won’t stop firing.
Smart alarms on a smart watch. Set a time window where it’ll wake you up at an optimal time in your sleep cycle. Been using the one built into Sleep as Android for years, which another person also mentioned, but a lot of smart watches have smart alarms built in
I had the same problem, and the solution that worked best for me was to buy a vibrating alarm clock for the hearing impared.
I put it under the mattress topper so there is no way I can ignore or snooze it without getting out of bed.
I wish I could sleep in past 6. We are all wired differently. It may never be easy for you to do. Your best bet is to shift your sleeping time forward by an hour or so. Once your mind gets used to it hopefully the alarm will do a better job.
My hack was to get older and have a couple of kids that wear you out, fall asleep on the couch around 9:30 and get up daily around 5:30am without an alarm because your body says you slept enough.
All jokes aside, start sticking to a consistent sleep schedule and your body will wake itself up, no phones or alarms required.
I forget the name of it, but back before I got old and started waking up consistently before the alarm went off, I had an alarm clock app that made you do math problems in order to shut it off or snooze it. They got progressively harder with each snooze, so you eventually had to actually wake up.
Can’t get you out of bed, but it can definitely force your brain to kick into gear which usually kept me from falling back asleep.
This might sound blunt, but you need to grow up and accept that you need to wake up on time. Missing three alarms every day is childish.
Go to bed when you need to.
Naaah this couldn’t possibly be a medical condition.
Are you a nurse or a doctor?
I think you have this backwards.
You are the one who is diagnosing and saying that it is only a case of get more sleep/it’s childish to over sleep. I’m saying, look further, it could be a medical issue. Don’t just take the easy way and claim it isn’t anything other than need more sleep.
Sorry, I wasn’t aware you were the expert.
Funny how I don’t see you telling anyone else that it’s medical.Try re-reading.
I never said that it is medical. No where is that typed. I very clearly said it could be. I never said it is.
In other words: hypothetically maybe possibly it might be , could be, but I’m not real sure and I’m not a doctor, Which is why I said it could be. That is what the word could means. I’m not sure how this is confusing to you. I very clearly said it could be, and you are the one saying it isn’t. And no point if I said I’m an expert. But by you saying it isn’t, you basically are claiming to be an expert. I’m saying it could be therefore he should go to a doctor and double check it. How is this confusing to you.?
Oof you ok? You’re repeating yourself a whole lot there. I’m honestly a little concerned.
That comment is like a merry go round. I feel like I should’ve bought a ticket.
You weren’t getting it, figured if I repeated it might help you figure it out
Turn the volume up on your alarms, and pick an annoying ring tone helps a lot. As well setting the phone away from the bed if you’re able to.
Put your phone/alarm somewhere that makes you get up to turn it off. Then you’re already out of bed.
Check your settings to see if the alarm isn’t giving up after a set amount of time, had this happen to me. Try changing the ringtone to a song you hate and putting it the furthest away you can inside your room so you have to get up.
