I suffer from severe insomnia and wind up collapsing into a deep, coma-like sleep after 4-6 hours total sleep over 3 or 4 days. Oddly enough, I was only late to work 1 day in my entire life (about a month ago). Now I set my alarm clock for 6 AND my cellphone alarms to 6:00, 6:02, 6:03, 6:05 and 6:07. It guarantees that I won't simply turn off my alarm in haze of semi-consciousness. It's too confusing to turn off all the alarms and the continual, annoying disruptions force me awake, even on coma days.
I don't ever hear alarms to be able to turn them off. I've woken on so many occasions with this horrible feeling of annoyance and I'm pretty sure it was because my subconscious was pissed it had to listen to my alarms going off for several hours while I didn't even notice them.
