I have a few more and I try to trick the system with intervals of 2 and 3 minutes between some of them to be different!

Yes, some variation is good! Also pick a slightly different interval than the snooze time, so if you hit snooze it is triggered twice xD

Yup exactly. Then the phone gets all confused and stressed by having multiple alarms mixed with snoozed things triggering at same time. That’s what really makes one wake up, the panic of pressing things and it not working.

Can I tell you about our good lord and savior; snooze?

there is a risk of pressing “stop” instead of snooze or not hearing the alarm at all, I’m with OP on this one, I tend to go 2 or 3 depending on how tired I am, but never 1 xD

The problem is (at least on android by default) the difference between turning off a timer (losing your job and your wife and becoming homeless) or hitting snooze is literally swiping to the left or to the right. While you are basically still asleep. That is literally the dumbest fucking horse shit UX every created and that’s why multiple timers are needed so you can either snooze or turn the alarm off and still get a second chance for not becoming homeless.

I have an old school alarm clock. I’ve had it for over 20 years now and my wife hates it. But it’s still fully functional.

I never snooze so I have the muscle memory for turning off the alarm. So what’ll happen is I’ll just turn my alarm off and go back to sleep. Sometimes I don’t even remember doing it.

snooze… snooze… snooze… snooze… snooze…

alarm clock gives in. shuts it down until tomorrow.

but my flip phone, i have to open and push the correct button to shut off an alarm. that’s enough to wake me up enough to piss me off. so i guess it ‘works’.

Rookie mistake. The snooze goes off every five minutes. You need alarms for when you sleep through the snooze. Set them for 7:00, 7:06, 7:11

You got to offset your offsets, man! 7:00, 7:06, 7:12, 7:18, 7:24.

Wake up on first alarm, can’t relate. My gf however, needs 85 alarms because she doesn’t Snooze, she just Dismisses.

I started using multiple alarms for some time, but I noticed that I was starting to completely ignore them to the point of not hearing them. I was actually a bit scared when I noticed and I said fuck that. Now I have 2 alarms to really pay attention to them. One at wake up time and other when I should be at the door, just in case.
