Idk if anyone has this, but it happens quite some time that my alarm clock simply doesn't wake me up. I don't mean that i snooze a couple of times and sleep on. I just don't hear it becouse i sleep so deeply... any suggestions on how i can prevent this?
Going to bed at the same time over and over makes it easier to fall asleep, and increases your chance of waking up at a similar time. The blue light from your phone screen makes it harder to fall asleep. Eating/drinking sugary things before bed makes it more difficult to sleep as well.
Or he could just sing.

🎶CALL MY NAME AND SAVE ME FROM THE NIGHT🎶
Or yeah he should avoid screens at night and eating stuff that'll make it harder to sleep, so he'll be more energized in the morning.
A louder alarm clock might also help, since his doesn't seem to wake him up very well.
Ya I used to have this problem, but consistent sleeping/waking time has mostly fixed it. ...also, my very sweet girlfriend gets me up if I'm still asleep haha..
My solution was my boyfriend moving in. I've struggled with this for as long as I can remember and it awful. It's so bad that my sister lived a few houses down and would hear my obnoxious alarm going off to the point where she would get annoyed and walk over to wake me up. The best part is I would still be completely asleep and not remember her coming over and I would wake up on my own hours later. She finally started recording this because I didn't believe her, I thought my alarm just didn't go off. I know how frustrating this can be especially if you have to wake up for work or an important event. I wish you the best I have no clue how you can help this 😣
Wow i can so relate to this! One day i fell asleep at my grandparents house and my grandpa tried to wake me up. I was sitting straight and told him stuff. He recorded this and when i finally woke up he showed me the video! I could not remember one thing for sure!😯 i still live with my parents and they also hear my alarm clock going of and would get annoyed! They only wake me up when its going off too long, but then i'm running late...it's really annoying because people are starting to think i do not bother to be on time, and i recieved like 5 watches as a present because of this! I hope that one day, there will be a solution for people like us! I wish you the very best
If I set my alarm I wake up before the alarm most of the time even when it's not my usual wake up time.
Your alarm clock it's just not powerful enough, you need a louder one, that vibrates and flashes lights, and you need to keep it away from you so that you need to get up in order to shut it off, so you won't go back to sleep.
I have the opposite problem. I wake up a minute or two before my alarm everyday.
However much sleep you're getting, it apparently isn't enough.
If you're a teenager, studies have found that you need between nine and nine and a half hours of sleep every night.
Maybe that would cut into your gaming or social media time, but it's a fact. Teenagers need more sleep to cope with all the changes your body and brain are going through.
I remember when I was in my teens, and 20, 21, and 22 also, that on the weekends I partied and got pretty smashed, it did effect my ability to concentrate and study on that Monday. Even when the partying and drinking was Saturday night, it still effected me even when being in class again was over 24 hours later. Partying obviously decreases sleep and getting rested, not just because of spending the overnight hours active instead of sleeping, but good amounts of alcohol in the system reduces deep sleep and proper restoration when you do sleep. When you're that age though, you gotta party sometimes though, add some extra life and excitement. Just don't party on the weekends before finals, I still always made sure not to do that.
Hey! First of all thanks for the comment. I'm currently 19 but i'm having a lot of trouble with my sleeping pattern. I should indeed cut out the gaming and social media BUT when i'm trying to sleep i just can't. I try to lay in my bed without my phone, but i sometimes don't even fall asleep after 1 hour. I just don't feel tired in the evening and stay up late, that probally explains why i don't hear my alarm clock. Yet i don't feel tired during the day. In the weekends i do sleep A LOT. I could sleep for +14 hours straight without waking up...
Are you aware of the suggestion that looking at the bluish-white light of electronic screens late at night does things to our brains that hinder getting to sleep?
Basically, that sort of light cues our brains to believe it's daytime, and that inhibits the production of sleep-producing hormone melatonin. It doesn't cause problems for me, but people vary, and at my age I do fine on six hours a night, waking up automatically around six on most mornings.
Some devices - and the latest version of Windows 10 - have an option to switch to a yellowish light late at night, and I know I've seen an Android app for this. The look takes some getting used to, but it might be something to think about.
The long sleeps at the weekend suggest that you're developing a sleep-deficit during the week. If you're like a lot of people, you go to sleep at weekends at the same time as on weeknights, but wake up a lot later. So you catch up on some sleep (although scientists have questioned lately if we ever really do that), but you maintain the same going-to-sleep rhythm, which doesn't really help.
