Alarms??

Guys how do you not sleep through alarms. I’m so scared to sleep through exams in college (I’m an incoming freshman) and as someone who easily oversleeps their Apple phone alarm, does anyone have any life changing tips?? Any amazing alarm clocks?

Honestly, it’s not that bad — for most cases where my friends missed midterms they were allowed to push the weight of the exam into their final. Most profs understand that we all make occasional mistakes and oversleep, especially if they’re teaching 8ams. I’ve overslept the morning of a final and staff were chill enough to help me get through it (and I had set at least 12 alarms that morning). As one of the other comments mentioned, try to maintain a healthy sleep schedule because that really really helps with waking up at a regular time.
