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.
If you are sleeping so heavily that you sleep through your alarm every time, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Go to bed earlier.
And if you are getting 7-9 hours and still having this issue, please ask your doctor about sleep apnea.
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.
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.
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.
Put your phone/alarm somewhere that makes you get up to turn it off. Then you’re already out of bed.
Go to bed earlier. If you’re frequently sleeping through your alarms or falling asleep immediately after turning them off, then you’re not getting enough sleep. Any tips and tricks like “two alarms 5 minutes apart” or “drink water before bed so you have to pee when you wake up” will only get you so far where sleep deprivation is concerned.
