that is indeed niche.... what time do you need to be up to resort to this, and what time do you go to sleep?
@tetris11 I usually go to bed at 11-12 and get up around 8-9. It's just that my subconscious mind has learnt how to turn off the alarm before I even know I'm awake.
I used to oversleep without ever remembering that I turned off the alarm.
I have the same problem. Lately I've been using an smartwatch vibration alarm and I've always woke up. Maybe its a solution for you too.
I fixed this issue, but being an arsehole for a month.
Get a loud stereo with an alarm clock function; have it go off 1 minute after your alarm, and be really really loud.
Trust me, shocking yourself awake with a huge noise just after the little beep-beep works a treat. After a week or two, you will bolt out of bed to catch the stereo before it wakes everybody else up and pisses them off.
@absGeekNZ This sounds like it would absolutely work from a psychological perspective, but my wife would probably kill me.
It worked for me.
I haven't needed it for around 20 years.... But it is really simple
Oh wow. Are you in your early 20s? I think it's something you might just grow out of if that helps.
@tetris11 I'm 32 😅
oh my dude !
I'm 40 and have the same problem...
Yeah my life is probably not the best baseline for this. I come from a family of heavy sleepers with generations of not being affected by caffeine
I'm also not affected by caffeine, lol.
