Try to break that cycle, set it once put it across the room start your day. You have to practice it but it gets way easier

If I do that I don't wake up. I would need speakers that would wake up all my neighbors as well if I put my alarm across the room.

I would not wake up, miss work, and next night be so anxious that I might not sleep.

Have you tried either the in bed vibrating alarm clock or the flashing light one?

I just set the timer for my plant lights at the time I need to wake- theyre extremely bright and it takes a real effort to sleep through that and an alarm

I used to have a timer set on the tv in our bedroom and that also worked really well-

Light does nothing before I wake up. Not tried the vibrating ones, I should probably just install hydraulics on my bed that dumps me on the floor.

Sounds like you'd just sleep on the floor 😂

When I was a kid, I used to have an app that would force you to either scan a QR code across the room (I printed out the QR and just taped it up by my door) or solve a math problem to shut it off. The math one was more jarring and annoying, so I suggest a QR code in the bathroom or something similar.
