    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.

      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 alarm. 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.

        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.

            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.

          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.

                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.

          Not really helpful advice for people who work rotating shifts over a 24 hour roster tho is that

          I remember work were doing some “wellness” bs once and said we should all try to get better sleep on a regular schedule… like how is that gonna work when I’m working night shift then day shift 2 days later?

          Imma stick to my 16 different alarms set within 1-5 minutes of each other in the 30 minutes around the time I need to be awake

      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.

    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

    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.

        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.

      Your link seems broken, but for any other readers it seems to refer to “Sleep as Android: Smart Alarm” by Urbandroid / Petr Nalevka

      Rated 4.4/5 @ 10M downloads.

      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.

    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.

      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.
