My alarm clock doesn't work right

  I used to have a friend that complained that his alarm clock always went off late.

  Then we became roommates and I learned that he usually just slept through the first hour of it going off.

  You hit the snooze button. Snooze is 9 minutes on most alarms.

    No actually the alarm hadn’t turned on, so it wasn’t snoozed. Thanks for telling me there’s a snooze button though, I know that now.

    I didn’t know mine had a snooze button! I’ll have to check the manual

  IThere’s a pretty simple way to test the alarm, make it go off when your awake and waiting for it. Say the current time is 11:57, set the alarm for 12:00 and sit and wait for it to go off.

    That won’t tell you if the alarm app is being affected by something like doze which would only happen after the phone sits idle for hours

    Wow thanks! I don’t know how I never thought of doing that.

  How do you know it wasn’t going off if you weren’t awake? I’ve had situations before where mine went off but my brain incorporated it into the dream I was having for a little while before waking me up.

    It’s a light up one, it lights up slowly over around five minutes. I think I woke up at 6:36, so I would have seen it anyways.

      Maybe it has a setting to gradually start the noise as well? It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for it to introduce the light gradually while also blasting you with the sound.

  This can actually be caused by power fluctuations. You might want to have an electrician check it.

  this makes me wonder: what are you all using for alarm clocks? i use my phone, set to vibrate, plugged into a charger, playing ocean sounds all night.

    My cats’ food bowl releases food at a specific time. They get up and demand I open the door to the garage so they can go out and eat and poop.

    I use my phone on vibrate next to my pillow so it wakes me up without waking everyone else in the building up

  (Assuming you are using your smartphone) check your battery saving options. Sometimea battery saving for the entire phone or for the clock app can make it less “respondent” to times

    Thanks, it’s a physical alarm clock though. This one specifically
