I used to have issues walking up during university, leaving my phone on the other side of the room, taking it and turning it off and falling asleep again without memory if it.

I got an alarm app that required solving math questions to do more than snooze. I had set it to three digit numbers +/- another. Worked great. Until I partied a bit too hard, and had to repeatedly snooze it, because even on the bus to university, I was too hungover to figure out the answer ;)

But in general, I was very grateful for the app.

There were not many such apps. Probably I used the same app about 10+ years ago. And also I was leaving my phone somewhere in the room where I must walk to, so I can actually get out of the bed. On many occasions if someone ring me I can answer and talk to them, assure them that I'm on my way and continue to sleep without even remembering. I listened to recordings, it is funny because I try to change my voice to sound like I am fully awake without even remembering. Btw, it turns out it was because of my unmanaged t2 diabetes. Now as it is under control, things are kind of normal.

Funnily enough, I still use one with that feature, though I don’t think I’ve ever used that feature with it. It’s Gentle Alarm (originally a paid app), which requires unpacking the apk, editing the manifest, repacking, sideloading, and giving "draw over other apps" permission to use on modern Android. The developer long ago abandoned it, the website is not registered anymore, the support mail fails, and their Google account is deleted. But it’s by far the most featureful Alarm app I know, and if any Android update completely broke it, I’d debate staying on an older version.

Diabetes causes sleepwalking? Or mega tiredness?

It can do things like that. People who have diabetes have high blood glucose because their bodies are not actually using the sugar. If it gets bad enough it can actually feel like you're perpetually fasting despite having eaten. The energy is just uselessly circulating in the blood stream. Body thinks it's starving.

If this process continues the body starts producing ketones which acidify the blood which generally causes a lot of symptoms including depression of the nervous system.
