Put your phone/alarm somewhere that makes you get up to turn it off. Then you’re already out of bed.

Be super anxious that your spouse is going to start belittling you for not getting anything done so that the moment movement anywhere in the house happens you bolt awake and start cleaning something, get a divorce, move to a new house so all the noises are different and everything sets off the “oh fuck I need to wake up and clean” response, then carry that anxiety over to assuming your super caring new roommate is going to secretly hate you unless you’re always awake and cleaning something. Worked for me anyway I can wake up hours earlier than I used to I don’t even need an alarm

I use a smart alarm app. It uses your mic to track your breathing, and uses that information to identify when you’re in deeper and lighter phases of sleep. You set a range of time for the alarm, and when it detects you coming out of a deep cycle it starts the alarm. I’ve always slept through alarms, and this works like a dream.

There is an app called Sleep As Android that I used to use. You put your phone on your bed next to you and it tries to determine what level of sleep you’re in. You tell it when you’d like to get up and if it detects that you’re in a lighter stage of sleep within a certain amount of time before that, it triggers the alarm. You’re then more likely to hear it, and more likely to feel rested, than if it went off like, twenty minutes later.

Also played nice with WearOS watches.

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

Etc.

Android lets you set custom alarms. The best one I have is a recoding of me screaming into my phone to “get the fuck up”

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

I’m really sensitive to light when I sleep. I’ve got blackout curtains, no annoying little lights on any devices, the usual. One of the advantages is that by having a smart light bulb set to gradually turn on alongside my alarm, it really wakes me the hell up. Maybe try incorporating a light to yours?

I use an app called AMDroid, it makes me do math in my head before I can shut it off. Works every time.

I too use AMDroid math questions but for snoozing.

Too disable the alarm i have to get up, walk to the bathroom and scan a QR-Code next to the mirror.

I need to get up at 7:30, so I set three alarms:

0700
0710
0720
Then I have 10 minutes left over for subconsciously hitting snooze or setting an additional alarm. It works most of the time, but it’s not 100% successful.

I have found that when alarms stop working, it’s because I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point where I can ignore it. What I do then is change to a different sound - preferably a more obnoxious one, but as long as it’s different it usually does the trick.

Also, I hate how most of the alarm phones are music nowadays. It makes them too easy to ignore for someone who rarely enjoys the type of music I don’t intentionally put in myself.

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.

InAbsentia ,

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.

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.
