> Snoozing is the bane of my existence.

For me it's not snoozing, it's auto-snoozing. Who the hell had the idea that an alarm clock should _stop_ after a minute or so? I want an app that does not turn off alarm "due to inactivity", I want it blasting away until I wake up (or my neighbours wake me up by knocking to the doors).

I think the idea is that people sometimes make mistakes... They leave home early and forget that alarm is still turned on, and then get home in the afternoon to find the front doors broken by angry neighbors. But yeah, if that watch could measure heartbeat... ;)

True for alarm radios, but for phone apps? I assume everyone takes their smartphone with them when they leave...

Some people like to go out for a morning run without carrying a phone.

Sleep as Android is perfect and has fully configurable snooze settings.
