I stopped using Samsung's clock alarm for this reason. It's quite hard to figure out as a heavy sleeper whether actually only 1 of my 5 alarms went off or I was just sleeping through them.

One day I just stared at the clock app, not ringing, as my alarm time came and went. At least validated all those times I've doubted myself.

Downloaded AMDroid now. Much better, and much more customizable, and it turns out I never actually sleep through an alarm, they just never went off.

I also got really good at multiplying 2-digit numbers in a sleep-daze.

My Samsung and now Nokia have gaslit me into long-term self-doubt if I sleep through alarms. In one near miss, I noticed the volume was lowered without my intention.
