    Try one alarm not on the full hour but 3 to 5 min late. This makes you feel you have to get up because it’s your only chance and your buffer is already gone so no excuses.

    Also loud and out of reach so you have to get up to shut it off

      the amount of times i have tried this method and missed a bus, a train, an exam, one time a job interview… lol

      i used to use an alarm app that absolutely would not turn off without me scanning a barcode in my kitchen. until asleep me learned how to hold down the power button on my phone and force power it off. 🫩

      if i really need to be somewhere on time, these days, i eat a sleeping pill 12 hours before wakeup time and hope for the best
