    There are apps that will require you to do something to shut them off.

    I have to go scan a QR code on my coffee maker to shut off the alarm, but you can do stuff like solve math problems.

      My cousin slept on my couch for a night, had forgotten to deactivate his alarm for the weekend, so his alarm went off waking me tf up.

      So I had to walk out of my room and solve a fucking puzzle I’d never seen before while the bastard slept thru it all

      He’s the heaviest sleeper on Earth.

      I love my alarm app, AMdroid.

      Has all kinds of challenge things I don’t use (but probably should), but I do use the post alarm function.

      5 minutes after I dismiss the alarm, I’ll get a notification asking if I’m awake. If I don’t respond in another 5 mins, a louder more obnoxious alarm will go off. Its like having multiple alarms, but with out the need to set/disable all the extras.

      Also each time I snooze, the time gets 2 minutes shorter. 10mins, 8, 6, 4, 2…

        Yup, that’s the app I use. For a while I used an NFC tag instead of a QR code, but the tag started failing and I didn’t want to solve 10 math problems every time it did.
