How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ?

  If you’re going to bed with music or sound, make sure it’s at a barely audible level or shuts off after you fall asleep. Otherwise your brain gets used to tuning out the noise and will tune out your alarm

  It’s a bit microtransactional but alarm clock extreme for Android is a good solution for me play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarmcl…

  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.

  There are alarm clock apps which can help. You may configure how unforgiving the alarm becomes.

  Changed my life.

  • Get a cheap old fashioned alarm clock (we’re talking about something that costs maybe 10 bucks).
  • Put it out of reach so that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it of.
  • Configure it to go off at the appropriate with the nastiest sound (usually they have an “alarm with a radio” and an “alarm with alarm sound” modes and you definitely want to have it in the latter mode, not the former).

  It’s a pretty horrible way to wake up if you went to bed late (protip: stop drinking coffee and using a computer after 11PM to deal with the whole only falling asleep late part of the problem) and that’s why it works.

  I’ve also heard that you can get alarms that either turn on a light, or slowly increase a light intensity in the room to mimic a sunrise. I would try one of those in combination with a proper alarm or three, unless you use like a sleep mask or something.

  Back in the '90s when we were teenagers, my sister had to get the loudest possible alarms you could find and set it up on a dresser on the far side of her bedroom.

  Personally, I always set two alarms when it’s time to get up. Put the loudest, most obnoxious ringtone on you can think of, set them to repeat every 5 minutes, and offset them by a few minutes so that you’re basically getting an annoying alarm every 2 to 3 minutes. I taught this trick to my fiancee because she’s a heavy sleeper and a reluctant waker too. You can combine both tricks too if you need to.

  My garmin watch has a vibrating alarm that works for me. For about a month I woke up thinking some asshole was spamming text messages, but now I know what it is. I have yet to accidentally turn it off.

  Get you an app. I’ve been using this app for 8 years now. Coupled with the laugh from Mr. Popo in DBZ Abridged, I have no issues waking up.

  There are also bedshaker alarms, and screaming meanies. The app is the cheapest option to try.

  Vibrating smart watch seems to do the trick for me.

  Despite the name being stupid, Alarm Clock Extreme is a great app. I paid for it years ago, and have recently paid for it again due to it being bought out by another company. I do not feel cheated by this fact. It’s been worth it.

  Get a timer controlled power outlet and hook a Hitachi magic wand to it. Place the wand under your pillow. The vibration is super intense and gets uncomfortable at the highest setting. Bonus points you can wake and bate since you have a massager handy.

  I set 3 alarms. If 3 wasn’t enough, I’d set 4.

  Etc.

  I use an alarm captcha, simple math problems so I can’t accidentally dismiss the alarm instead of snooze. I also keep a similar sleep schedule throughout the week so I’m sometimes already awake a little before the alarm and I have an alarm to remind me when to go to bed.

  Layer it so that you have 5 alarms 5 minutes apart. You might miss the first or second but generally your ass is up by the 5th

  Although the app’s designer went and somewhat enshitified things by placing a few features under a subscription, my app for waking up is the best app I’ve ever come across.

  Its called Alarmy and the free version is more than enough to make anyone wake up if they really need to.

  There are alarm clocks that have a lamp built in, and instead of a loud alarm they play things like birdsong and rushing water at increasing volumes while brightening up the lamp to simulate dawn. I much prefer that to a nuclear launch siren, when I have to use an alarm. I don’t like to post shopping links because I’m not an ad machine, but if you search around for “gentle wakeup alarm light” you’ll definitely find some.

  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

  No tricks. Go to bed early or buy this:

  I have an alarm clock with two alarms on it. The first is radio, at a reasonable volume. The second is beep Beep BEEP with ascending volume. If the first doesn’t wake me the second will. Unless I press the off button and fall back to sleep.

  I’m amazed the clock with the bell doesn’t wake you (if you mean one of the traditional alarm clocks with the bells on?). Those things are LOUD.

  As sound isn’t working, maybe try one of those “silent alarms” which just turns a light on to help you wake up naturally (I haven’t tried these and would definitely have a beeping alarm as a backup!), or something like a Fitbit which can wake you up by buzzing on your wrist (and will adjust when it wakes you to match your sleep cycle)

  2 alarms, one on the iPad, one on the phone. Full volume, spaced 10 minutes apart.
