That can also be your poor fucking housemate if you got one. One day, after 5 snoozes at 5am, I went to the dude's door and yelled, "Either get the fuck up or I'll pour an ice-cold bucket of water over your head and bed the next time it rings!" I wasn't joking. He never used the snooze function again.
Now that is what I call setting firm boundaries.
I do this and my SO and I wake up at different times
Thank you smart watch vibration alarm
Now we only need a smart buttplug vibration alarm
I didn't make that sort of threat or anything, but I sure as hell got mad when my wife did something like 8 snoozes one morning when I got to sleep in. Being half asleep and angry really sucks. Thankfully, she never did it again.
You know the "most annoying noise in the world" bit from Dumb and Dumber? I had a roommate with THAT and about five other loud ass annoying things as his alarms. If I didn't have to get out of bed to do so I would have done the same.
Better option, go old school.
Don't use your phone alarm, buy an alarm clock. One with a very loud alarm that does not stop until you turn it off.
Place in your room as far away from the bed as possible, so that you have to get out to turn it off.
Then go back in your bed for a few minutes and miss work
Hate to sound like a parent, then you need to go to bed earlier.
I haven't used an alarm in about a decade because I value sleep. Most of us live in a constant state of sleep deprivation and it is one of the worst things you can do for your health.
Ah great point. I'll go tell my clinical insomnia all we need is more sleep.
I'm sorry you have that and truly hope you find an effective treatment, but the vast majority of people who are sleep deprived do not suffer from medically induced insomnia.
go to bed earlier if you can't fall asleep then go to bed at 7 or 6 pm after 2hrs or 3hrs you will fall asleep goddammit
And I'll tell my landlord to cut my rent in half so I don't need two jobs.
I'm pretty sure chronic lack of sleep has started impacting my memory and ability to perform consistently on some cognitive tasks
I don't doubt it.
I remember reading experiments where being awake for 24 hours impacts the ability to drive more than a blood alcohol level of 0.05 and by 36 hours it is 0.15.
Are you telling me it's not healthy to sleep 4 hours for most of the week then like 16 on the weekends?
I know you are not serious but you cannot make up sleep debt. Crashing like this on the weekends just makes it worse.
I know you are not serious
Allow me to introduce myself
It's 4:14, I need to be up to look after my daughter at 7. 👌🥱🫠
That's how I know I would be a bad parent. If I go to bed at 4am, there's nothing nor no one that would make me stand up at 7am
Yeah I thought the same, but I think I'm doing a good job! Doing great at looking after her, not so great at looking after myself.
Nah that's terrible. Gotta bump up those weekend numbers, think you can do 20 a day?
But what shall I do; The Talos Principle is too addicting.
I used to do this when I was a kid. Then as I got older my body learned how to grab objects while still sleeping and throw them at the clock.
That's when I just got an alarm clock with a sound that would scare me half to death. Nothing wakes you up better than your heart rushing blood to your brain.
My dorm mate made me detest people like this, only took a couple of mornings before I became the alarm clock
That sucks. My guess is that they were happy you had replaced their parents in this role.
I was more like a drill sarge than a mommy after that snooze button got hit.
But they were still able to pass the responsibility of getting up at the right time to you.
And to his girlfriend after me, but a small part of him lives in fear of my wake-up call to this day
I hope it involved a bucket of ice, or spiders.
I used to do this, and then I got a beagle. Now, if I don't get up with the first alarm, my beagle screams until I get up. He's so loud lol
Those are all your roommates
For the people who have this issue, I cannot recommend sleep as android (android only) highly enough, especially if you have a smart watch with heart rate monitoring.
I set an alarm for 07:00 and it wakes me up between 06:30-07:00. But it does so in the best phase of your sleep, so you feel wel rested.
Also I have it set to vibrate my watch, instead of making noise. And I love it.

But you have to sleep with a watch... That makes it unusable for me.
You don't have to have a watch, the tracking is more accurate with a watch. You can also track with just your phone. You 'll have to lay it next to you on the bed.
Ok interesting.
It also supports those math, scan qr, etc extra modes for alarms.
Your link seems broken, but for any other readers it seems to refer to "Sleep as Android: Smart Alarm" by Urbandroid / Petr Nalevka

Personally I don't have a smart watch, and have been looking for an alarm app for my phone that lets me group my set of alarms, disable and enable them all at once, and move them all together X hours and minutes eariler / later.
Does the link work now?
I've not used any alarm at all for the past 20 years. It's amazing. I just automatically wake up at the same time every day. And go to sleep about the same time every day.
Adjust your life so you can do this, if you can.
I started to not sleep in (so much) after I had kids. I still wouldn't call myself a morning person but these days 8am is sleeping in.
This only happened to me when I was in my 30s. I think my brain chemistry did not allow me when I was younger and in my 20s to do this. Now I can barely stay up late and I wake up consistently before my alarm.
Who else just ends up sleeping through all of them
Wtf is this image? It looks horrific.
It all the different alarms spaced very closely together pummelling the OP for not waking up on time.
Most of y'all don't have a diagnosed sleep disorder and it shows.
Wtf is going on at that picture? This dude looks like he is dying
I thought it was just me that did this
