    This used to be me.

    Cured since I started to use an alarm app that asks me to solve two randomly but very easy math calculations.

    Hint: They are not easy if you just woke up and your mobile is screaming at you.

    Never overslept again.

      This doesn’t work for everyone. While this is my main alarm, it mostly just taught me how to do math half asleep. I still require multiple alarms and all of them have math questions

        App I use can actually alternate tasks. Up to forcing you to move your ass and use camera to scan barcode on something xD “I can’t wake up”, aptly named…

    The trick is

    7:00
    7:01
    7:02
    7:03
    7:04
    7:05

    No, really

      The trick is training yourself to wake up and go to sleep at same time every day.

      I used to struggle with alarm clocks, and now I rarely need them at all.

        I just train my cat to know what time I need to get up by feeding him at that time for a while and then he will never let me oversleep.

        go to sleep at same time every day.

        You’re a liar. This is literally impossible

          OK let me be precise, unless there’s a strong reason for it, I’m in bed with the lights out and eyes closed at a set time. In my case this applies to more than 95% of the days.

          Or, in colloquial speech, I go to sleep at the same time every day.

    I used to not be able to add more alarms because “it reached the limit”…
