    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.

      You underestimate my ability to sleep through that or lose consciousness immediately after.

      I’ve tried an alarm like that, it wasn’t math but it was something I can’t remember which supposedly required one to be awake enough to be able turn it off. Still slept through many of those.

      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 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.

    I havent used an alarm since highschool and can barely sleep past 7 am when I try. Makes me feel like an old person.
