Whenever I have to wake for something that I absolutely can’t miss, I set 2-3 extra reminders 5 minutes apart precisely because of this “silent alarm” bug. It’s only happened to me a couple of times but twice was enough to completely destroy my trust in the alarm. The first time I thought I just did something in my sleep to cause it, but the UI shows it as if the alarm worked. I’m lucky to have the privilege that if I oversleep an hour or so it’s no big deal, otherwise ye olde tabletop alarm clock would be back.
I love the questioning my sanity before I've completely opened my eyes part. It's like a jump start to my day.
Hah - I also just assumed that I was turning the alarm off in my sleep without noticing. I started doubting it and really wish there was a log of when you tapped snooze or stopped the alarm...

This is too much of a dev feature for apple to implement and there are probably third party apps that do this, but meh
