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.

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.

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.

(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

Alue42 ,

I have this exact same clock. Are you positive it's not going off? You may have it set to be quiet in the beginning and ramp up to being loud over 15-30 minutes which is supposed to wake you up gradually. So perhaps you only noticed it going off at 10:46.

For instance, I want to be awake at 7, so I set mine for 6:30 with a 30min gradual wake up (sounds and light gradually go up for 30 min).

That setting is not required and you can have it just wake you up, but then it defeats the point of a sunlight alarm in my opinion.

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.

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

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