Why doesn't my alarm wake me up in the morning?

Question

I set my alarm, and in the mornings it could be going off for 15-30 minutes before i even here it?

Does anybody have any solutions to my problem?

I have one of the loudest alarms you can buy, and my hearing is just fine.

Answer 1

because your a lazy little monkey!

get a cat - mine jumps on me every morning so i have no choice she wants feeding

Answer 2

Get an old fashioned ringing one and put it on a tin tray...worked for me.,

Answer 3

I have the same problem, it takes me AT LEAST an hour to hear mines so have to set it an hour early! So try setting yours for half an hour early then you should wake up on time

Answer 4

Maybe get an alarm which has a very different sound!

That you wouldn't normally hear..

Maybe a song you hate!

Answer 5

you are probably still in a deep sleep maybe go to bed an hour earlier!

Answer 6

You must be an extremely heavy sleeper. Get something louder, or something that wakes you up gradually. I saw something which starts waking you up 30 mins before you set it to wake you up naturally. That might be good.  

Answer 7

you sleep deeply - try music instead of a loud alarm.  Sousa's marches work pretty well for me.  and you hear,  not here.

Answer 8

put it closer to you

Answer 9

not a problem .set it for 15 to 30 minutes earlier than you want to get up.

Answer 10
