Believe it or not, it's possible to turn off the alarm without checking your phone.

It's also possible to turn off the alarm without waking up. Now eagerly awaiting the follow-up study: have we developed the ability to check the phone without waking up yet?

I put my phone across the room so I have to get out of bed to turn off my alarm. It works really well and I now have to consciously decide to go back to bed.

I set two alarms: 5 and 6. If I make my first alarm, I get an hour to myself. If I don't, I scramble to get ready before my kids wake up.

Since moving my phone, I have slept better (no more late night time wasting in bed) and I have gotten up at 5 more reliably. I'm not really a morning person, but I enjoy the morning schedule better than my previous "schedule" (kids wake me up by screaming).

Or swiping the alarm off instead of the snooze. Physical alarm clocks have different motions. Push big button, snooze. Click little switch, turn off alarm. Much better.

Though, like everything these days, I heard there is an app for that. Swipe to snooze. Calculate some math problem and enter the answer for alarm off. Haven't bought the app myself yet.

Not the 2nd alarm?
