When do you go to sleep?

I had the same problem, and the solution that worked best for me was to buy a vibrating alarm clock for the hearing impared.

I put it under the mattress topper so there is no way I can ignore or snooze it without getting out of bed.

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)

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.

And if it’s not loud enough put it in a small metal pan or bowl, and place that inside a partially opened dresser drawer. Amplifies it quite a bit in addition to your suggestion to physically 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.

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

Edit: these go off almost 2 hours before I have to leave, and I’m asleep 7-8 hours before they go off. My biggest difficulty in waking up on time is not going to bed with enough time to fall asleep for 8 hours.

I have a hard-stop alarm, set 9 hours before I have to wake up, to remind myself to get ready for bed. A full sleep cycle (including morning routine) is an 11-hour time investment for me.

Vibrating smart watch seems to do the trick for me.

Does this occur even after a few nights of proper sleep?

If you generally sleep enough and don’t have other sleeping problems you could try to change the ringtone. Or if you are like me and turn off the alarm half a sleep and don’t remember it, put your alarms further away from your bed.

Turn the volume up on your alarms, and pick an annoying ring tone helps a lot. As well setting the phone away from the bed if you’re able to.
