Alarmy - Alarm Clock & Sleep 4+

After years - literally years - of not being able to wake up on time, Alarmy has come to my rescue. I am an incredibly deep sleeper, and waking up has always been extremely difficult for me. I often slept through alarms, or would be so groggy in the morning that I would turn off my alarm without a second thought and oversleep; essentially, I consistently overslept and was late all the time for university and work or even missed them completely. At one point I even had five physical alarm clocks in my bedroom to try and wake me, but all that would happen was I would wake up furious at the noise, get up, turn them off and go back to sleep.

Alarmy changed all that with its thoughtful features, that effectively tackle each of these issues. The sound and volume options cut through my sleep but not in a way that makes me want to punch someone, and I like the range of options of activities by which to turn off the alarm, as it caters for different people’s preferences. My personal favourite is the squatting option, as it forces me out of my bed for an extended period of time and wakes me up more than staring at my phone. I also really love the wake-up check because of my habit of going back to sleep.

This alarm is the only one that has ever worked consistently for me and I’m not exaggerating when I say that this app has changed my life. I cannot sing its praises highly enough. Thank you Alarmy!! Here’s to many more years of waking up on time☺️

After seeing this on someone’s morning routine I downloaded this and have been using it for the last 2 weeks to help implement regular wake up times. I have CFS/ME (classed as ‘mild’) and this has made such a huge difference! Before, I would have sooo many alarms and totally overuse the snooze button which, even tho I crave sleep, was making me feel so much worse. Now, i set my radio to come on 30 mins before I need to get up, then an alarm on this app to get me out of bed at just the right time. It’s fab!!! No more snooze button!! This app forces me to get up and walk to the other end of the house to turn the alarm off and is really helping correct my body clock and sleep routine. I never thought I would say this but I genuinely look forward to mornings now. Hopefully the good progress continues.
Suggestion: perhaps an the option to ‘lock’ an alarm for, say, the 30 mins before it’s due to go off, with the same requirement to ‘unlock’ and then amend/delete it as it would be to turn it off (ie barcode, quiz etc). So, if you do wake up early, you’re not able to turn the alarm off without doing the same exercise, therefore not allowing you to stay in bed! Hope that makes sense. Keep up the great work either way, just casually improving lives over there!

Waking up has been an issue for me. I would set like 10 alarm from 8:30-9:30 (i have to wake up at 930) It was useless. The frequency of the alarms makes me get used to the sound. My neighbours complained of my loud alarm. They didnt understand why I could sleep through it. She then introduced me to this app. I downloaded it immediately out of desperation. I hate myself for not being able to wake up on time, which is a nuisance to my neighbours.
I use the barcode one, which is extremely smart. I have to scan the barcode of the hand soup in the bathroom like within 30 seconds, or else the alarm keeps ringing louder and louder. The design is to give you a sense of urge and pressure. You can’t help but get off your bed.
My sleep quality has improved since I used this app as I only need to set one alarm instead of 10 alarms. What’s more, I dont have to worry about not being able to wake up when I get on bed every night.
The app has become my motivation of getting off the bed everyday. I can wake up on time and make a great breakfast to start the date.
I also like that there are many ring tones for us to choose.
