You may just be turning it off in your sleep. Try two alarm clocks. One next to your bed. Another to play music really loud across the room so you'll have to get out of bed to turn it off.

Best way to wake up is just getting proper sleep though. Go to bed early.

Maybe you can get a coffee pot on a timer and put it in your bedroom so that it starts brewing― that aroma plus your alarm may arouse you. Put a bright light on a timer, too, so you wake up with the light. If all else fails, get a rooster. By the way, an old alarm clock works better ― phone alarms are not loud enough for me, neither. Hope this helps, Sleeping Beauty!!

Some people are sound sleepers. Are you going to be too late and not fully rested so in a deeper sleep at wake up time? You can mentally program yourself to wake up by telling yourself "I must wake up at 6 a.m." just before you go to sleep. If you are getting your full "8" or "9" hours, your body should be naturally wakening up anyway.

You can always get someone to come into your room when the alarms go off, and remove your blankets and wake you...perhaps with water. A few of those sessions and you'll naturally start to wake out of defense.

Try putting your phone inside a tall glass. That should amplify the sound and help to wake you.

Drink a glass of water before bed

Buy that one alarm clock that squirts you with water when it goes off.

There are vibrating alarm clocks, pillows and wrist bands that will wake you up.

I've tried putting my phone alarm at the other side of the room, using 2 alarm clocks along side my phone, going to bed early, setting alarms minutes after eachother,and changing the sound regularly so I don't get used to it. I very rarely wake up on time and everyone else in the house claims my alarms are really loud so they have to get me up in the end.This is a really frustrating issue that means everyone has to wake up early to get me up for work. Why??
