      This is why I prefer public transit for my morning commute as opposed to driving.

      You can doze off all you want without fear of killing someone. With how sleep deprived I usually am there’s no way me forcing myself to drive in the morning is safe. Worst that can happen is the bus driver gets annoyed at you because you slept past the last stop.

    QRAlarm on the F-Droid or play store.

    The alarm only go off after reading a QRcode that you can put on your bathroom or other place and ensure that you walk away from bed before turning it off.

      Yeah, no. My bed’s still a magnet. I’ll just get up to turn the alarm off and then head back to sleep.

    I am genuinely finding that it’s easier to just force yourself to get straight up as soon as the alarm rings. Like peeling off a band-aid. Lying in bed after the alarm only makes you more and more drowsy. The more you snooze, the more your body wants to go back to sleep so you end up in this vicious cycle.

    I had to download an app on my phone where I can set multiple alarms for this exact reason! The first one goes off at 8am, then another one plays every half hour until I get up. It has an “extreme” setting for heavier sleepers where it keeps getting louder until you solve a math equation to turn it off again, but I only use that for special occasions lol

    It’s like saying “hit me!” on a 20. You’re gonna lose, but it’s kinda fun.

    I wish… I consistently wake up at least an hour early and am unable to go back to sleep…

    If your on Android;

    Amdroid is the best alarm app I’m aware of. (Called “Alarm clock for heavy sleepers” on play store)

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid

    (Best few bucks Ive spent on an app, ad version just has ads in ui, nothing crazy) It has a feature where 5 min after you dismiss the alarm, it’ll send a notification asking if your awake. If you don’t respond after a while, the alarm goes again. (Times adjustable)

    Sorry I’ve typed more than intended too, I’ll put most under a spoiler so its not a wall of text…

    wall of text

    It also manages alarms setting as profiles, set up a few types of alarms once and when setting new alarms you only have to set a time and pick a profile.

    Tons of different options; You can make them location or calendar dependent, make dismissing them require a certain light level or WiFi signal strength (go turn on a light or stand next to router in other room). You can make your self do some math or captcha to dismiss alarm (I have mine set to require a simple captcha when deleting,). You can make snooze duration get incrementally less, so maybe 10min, then 8, then 6 and so on…

    Got a day off or need to wake up early one day, well you can skip or change the time for just the next time the alarm is supposed to go off, then it goes back to normal.
