I also had the turn-off-the-alarm problem, what seems to have solved it for me is building "snooze" into my schedule. My alarm is always set 10-15 minutes before I actually needed to get up, with a 5-minute snooze, and ever since I haven't had issues getting up at the intended time.

Best guess is it helps with waking up slowly over 15 minutes instead of being jolted awake when the alarm first goes off.



Those are rookie numbers. I have often set my alarm for 40+ minutes before I "need" to be awake because I know that I will snooze the alarm several times before being conscious enough to force myself out of bed.


I set mine for an hour or more, before I need to be up. Sometimes two hours. And sometimes even that is not enough.
