me and the rest of the ADHD gang keeping the alarm clock market on life support because a phone alarm is too easy to turn off in your sleep:
-
Plus keeping the phone far from bed is always a good idea.
-
I can't sleep with an alarm clock because my ADHD causes me to always want to look at the time if it's in immediate view
-
have you tried blocking the view of the clock with a Mountain of Pillows™?
-
maybe worth a shot, but I feel like I would impulsively "need" to look still, and end up looking over the Mountain o' Pillows
-
fair, fair
i wish you whatever your equivalent of Pillow Mountain is that helps you find sleep success! :]

-
Warning: alarm may not be audible when it inevitably slips under pillows or between mattress and wall.
-
Just put it face down on the night stand?
-
lol that's how i lost track of the battery powered alarm last time

I keep my phone on the opposite side of the room so I can’t turn off the alarm without getting out of bed.
-
I used to have an alarm app that forced me to scan a barcode to turn it off (I used my shampoo bottle)
guess who learned how to force power off their phone without waking up 🤪
in the end I've found my ability to wake up has improved significantly after treating acid reflux (unsurprisingly it fucks up your sleep) and, to some extent, treating the ADHD
