Ha! That was gonna be my response. If I'm up just one hour later than I was the previous night, which is usually the case if not more, then I won't even hear them go off. I don't think I have insomnia, but I do usually stay up later than the night before. If I get into that sleepy but alert stage, that's when I have trouble falling asleep the most. At that point, I'll just give up and pull an all-nighter, even if I have like 8 hours before work.
How much sleep do you need to get by? Have you tried any OTC meds to help you drift off a little easier? If so, maybe you could get your doctor to write you a script for something. There are a few non-habit forming Rx meds that could help.
