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
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.
lol that’s how i lost track of the battery powered alarm last time
Just put it face down on the night stand?
I keep my phone on the opposite side of the room so I can’t turn off the alarm without getting out of bed.
