Okay, what do I do here, I keep sleeping through my alarm or I’m hitting the off button when it goes off without realizing it enough to wake up. I am constantly late and I don’t know what’s happening. I set my phone alarm to go off every minute for like 15 minutes straight and the volume is on max. Does this happen to anyone else? What are my options here?

Put the alarm out if reach where you have to physically get up and walk across the room to turn it off

Go to sleep earlier. Get a physical alarm clock. Get exercise. Eat healthy.

Possibly Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It’s that time of year and this always hits me hard and I struggle to wake up. I have found great success using a sunrise alarm. It lights up your room like the sun is rising. This helps slowly wake me up from a deep sleep. You can get one on Amazon for like $30.

Acquaint yourself with the consequences of not showing up on time for work, like no promotion, bad review, layoff.

There are some apps that make you solve math problems or take a picture of another room to shut off the alarm. Changing the alarm sound helps me. Other than that how are your iron levels? Mine was really low when I couldn’t wake up.

Get a runaway alarm clock https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004MSMUGI?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_sms_apan_dp_YSAS4APCESKV5MEV87AZ_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_sms_apan_dp_YSAS4APCESKV5MEV87AZ_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_sms_apan_dp_YSAS4APCESKV5MEV87AZ_1&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=1

Cut caffeine to goto sleep earlier. Usually the culprit

Light alarm or wrist alarm.

I do 2 separate alarms, say 630 and 650 so if I press off the second will still come on too. Vibrate, across the room. And I do music, I think it works better.

Sounds like it would be helpful to put a physical alarm away from you. Changing tone the first time it happens helps too. Also, knowing this will hurt you with money in the long run is what made me change from ten alarms to two. One fifteen before I need to get up. So I can scroll for that time or look at emails. Then a final one to tell you to get moving. Get a natural sleep aid to get you to bed at the right time works. Do not use melatonin though. Use Valerian root, skull cap and others are way better option than melatonin. For me the beast bites work well. Or you can be me and just drink yourself into sleeping 8 plus hours before you wake up. Not super healthy. Yet, has worked for 15 plus years. Lol

There are some good suggestions above (and one really dumb and unhelpful one). You might also want to talk to a doctor. If it isn’t SAD, it could be an actual sleep disorder at work.

Try practicing good nighttime sleep prep habits for a week to see if it helps. No phone / screen time 1 hour before bed. No TV watching in bed. Etc.. together with the suggestions from others. If it doesn’t improve, then +1 - you should see a doctor.

I use an old timey bell alarm, a phone alarm, and sunlight
